Re: Sims 2 Ultimate Collection: Low Disc Space?

Hey margeker, miltos00 from the future here. Turns out I tried to install the game on a brand new laptop two months ago. And guess what, I had the problem AGAIN. I thought this can't be a problem of all of the three computers I tried it on. I made a new post on Answers HQ  in November and what mate54 recommended me really solved the problem. So, thanks for leaving a comment on this thread and reminding me to share how I solved the problem.

I hope I didn't get you bored with the story of it 🙂, I thought it would be interesting. SO, that is the solution that worked for me, I am pretty sure this will be the case with you.

Here's your solution: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Other-The-Sims-Games/The-sims-2-low-on-disk-space/m-p/12078787#M20677

  • Anyway friends , I have seen .the solutions  but the problem still exists. I have all the space I need because it is a new PC ( 1T 16 Ram) and I do not have One Drive .but the message of low disk is still there. Moreover, I have Sims two in a laptop (Windows 10 ) which is not so good as this PC and the Ultimate Collection runs perfectly.

  • @margeker Hello, sorry for insisting, but I want to make sure about it. As far as I know, OneDrive runs on windows 10 and 11 by default, so a brand new PC will have it enabled. When you say you don't have OneDrive, do you mean that you haven't ever used and changed settings regarding OneDrive, or do you mean that you have deactivated it intentionally?
  • Yes, One Drive was in my PC but I changed settings and disabled it

  • My PC is one month. old. When I started to play Sims , there was a message that the game is saved in one drive and I had many problems. I lost all my progress in Sims 3. So I disabled it and I started Sims 3 from the beginning and now it runs ok and saved in my pc where is plenty of space. And I save the game in an other file too every week so if anything goes wrang I will not loose all my progress. But the low disk space is always there in Sims 2 UK.

  • So my collection in EA  has Sims 2, 3 and 4. Only 2 has the problem and to be honest I do not play 4 much because I do not like it very much. Sims 4 is of better quality game with better graphics etc  but  I prefer 3.

    @margeker , have you run the 4GB patch for Sims 2? I do believe that helps the game and gets rid of that message. You can google search for the 4GB patch as there are many sites that have saved the data file. I'm afraid I cannot link to them here, but you should be able to find one.

    .There is a Wolff family .  Their house has a balcony with a fence which I can not find in the fences catalogue.  Is it from some extension? Also there are some other items I do not have.

    I searched the extensions and there is one for building and buying but it says Lofts and there are no lofts in Sunset Valley , only houses.

    @margeker , it might be in the High End Loft Pack. I know at one point in time it was part of a Collection (like base game, an expansion pack and a stuff pack usually).

    @margeker , Carl's Sims 3 Guides has a good overview of what comes in each pack for Sims 3. Check over there for what comes with each pack.

  • If anyone has the Dragon Valley of Sims 3,  is it like Sunset Valley playable (houses , families etc) or is it just for visiting?

  • I am asking because the overview of EA . uses. the words traveling and visitors
