I've figured out a fix of some sort. I used to crash on CAS after clicking onto face shape but I seem to be able to get past there. I'm not sure about playing a household but that seemed to be OK for me before

1. Right click the shortcut to sims 2 on your desktop. Then select properties

2.Under compatibility, click "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and in the dropdown menu, choose Windows 98/Windows ME (The earliest version of windows TS2 supported)

3. Under that, select reduced colour mode and make sure it is set to 8 bit (256) colour

4. Also select "Run as administrator" Apply and close that window

Now load up TS2 and get to where you were crashing. Test it out!

These seems to work for me on windows 8.1 running a 64 bit OS. Hope this helps!

Bonjour a tous j'ai télécharger les sims 2 sur origin sauf qu'il ne lance pas meme pas une fenetre s'ouvre (je suis sur windows 10)

Hello all I download the sims 2 on origin except it does not not even launch a window opens (I'm on Windows 10)

It worked !!! Thank u so much!

This worked for me which is amazing considering I have been trying for about a year. But the size of the actual game is small do you know how do make it bigger? It won't let me make the page full screen

@aimeelb20 , Can you please start a new thread? That way it's easier to keep track of new problems. 🙂

Hi I downloaded the sims 2 disc last night into my laptop and played the game, made a sim and got her married etc but when I tried to play today, had that problem and the game loaded after using your method but now I can’t find my sim?

Everything else seems to be working fine just like before, such as CAS.
