Problems adding CC to Sims 2
I just bought an old copy of the Sims 2 on Ebay. It installed on my computer no problems and started right up with no issues at all. I followed instructions I found online to add CC and mods into...

I don't know of any legit Complete collections for The Sims 2, aside from Ultimate Collection which was an Origin exclusive. If the seller said complete in their listing, it could have referred to everything being included in the box just like when it was new.
Regardless, if your game version is 1.0.0.1022 and the loading screen only shows The Sims 2 logo with the copyright notice saying 2004 under it, you only have the base game. Script mods also go into Downloads unless the creator says otherwise. I recommend checking if everything you have is base game compatible and, if it is but the game still crashes, to do a 50/50 search on your Downloads folder.
You can also check for any packs by looking for additional icons next to the neighborhood menu button in the top left, once you load a neighborhood. If you have any packs installed, there should be buttons for each EP's features, such as adding a University, Downtown, etc. even if they are greyed out.
@Simmy86 , if I remember correctly there was a base game release with 4 disks called Sims 2 Digital Deluxe which contained some items not found in the normal base game. If you only have the three original neighborhoods (Pleasantville, Veronaville and Strangeville) and no additional add on sub-neighborhoods (like Universitys, Downtown, vacation destinations) then you have the base game.
