Re: the sims ps2 not working

Hello, I know that this message was sent a while back regarding the Sam's not playing on PS2 but I've been having that same issue. I have three new Sims games for PS2 and none of them work it's the exact same issue with them all although all of my other games were perfectly fine. I have had them cleaned and laser adjusted or whatever that's called and it's still doesn't work. It used to play sometimes now it just doesn't play it all and The Sims was the reason why I even bought the console. Spent $150 or so for ps2 and the game that I want to play the most doesn't play. Very disappointing.

    @RovonneGinger , So have you cleaned the reader itself? You can check Amazon or your local electronics store to see if there are DVD/BluRay cleaners and try cleaning the disk reader. 

    I play my PS2 games on my PS3 which is backwards compatible and I have very little problems with playing older games. It sounds as if it is something mechanical not reading the disk allowing the game to load or play.
