Re: The Sims 2 ultimate collection origin wont launch. (Windows 10)

Thank you so much for your answer!

I had tried all that before but it didn't work, but then I updated my drivers and now it works 🙂

So happy that I can play The Sims 2 again! 🙂

    Random thought because why not: one of my favourite objects in The Sims 2 is the Thinking Cap, I wish that existed in real life! :D

  • i am old and definitely electronically challenged! My eight year old granddaughter knows more than me about electronics! I just got back online after a 6 year absence from it! I still have windows 7 on my computer that I purchased in 2010 from Walmart just before i retired! I'm sure i have old drivers that need to be upgraded or what ever you do to them! the launcher started acting up after i tried to download becks animated farm horse, as mine was not working right! Now it will not launch at all and has all kinds of writing about sims on it as well! Help me please I want to play my sims!

    @gramsharri , welcome back. 🙂 Yes, you should update Windows 7, but do not update to Windows 10. So what exactly is the game doing? Is it launching? Or was it starting before you added the Farm Horse? Just trying to figure out what's going on so I can give you the right instructions.

    It has a lot of writing on my launcher that it didn't have before i downloaded the farm horse! I finally got it to launch after i hit the remove script button several times! The farm horse works better at least they can ride but  they can not brush or clean so something didn't get down loaded right! I would like to at least remove all the script on my launcher!? It's all about sims 4 & I only have many ( like 14 sims 2 games)! can't afford to go with other sims games! I am very happy with  my sims 2 games! I have many custom downloads from mod the sims on my game! Are there any other sims 2 sites still available?

    @AbC5595a3631899 , you'd have to find out what make and model your Graphics card is and check the manufacturer's website for updated drivers. Once you download it, you'd need to follow the instructions from the site on how to install them.

  • thank you 🙂 but where do I find the cards on win 10? can't find anything with this new pc, used to do all on my own on XP lol now stuck!!

    @AbC5595a3631899 AND ALSO I figured out there is a trojan in one of our dowonload files from ORIGIN, it's in the sims2ep9.exe (not in our pc) and it is called: tr/crypt.xpack.gen3 and it's in THEIR file (ORIGIN) not our pc so that crashes the game all the time. I tried getting rid of it but if you delete that program the game doesn't work anymore than it did before... so the problem is at the root... Installed the game last night, worked totally well and this morning, the game is still here but it won,t start and says it's not installed. so.... what can I do about that??? it's an origin file that's corrupted not my pc!
