Hi! I have The Sims 2 disks, and I've managed to download it. I just wanted to try with the base game first, to see if it runs good before putting in expansion packs. However, when I do load into ...

Unfortunately, GrumpyLoader does not work for me. It comes up with an error. It is attached below.
@rn2yebphba29 Which file did you try to load in GrumpyLoader?
C: > Program Files (x86) > EA Games > The Sims 2
If there's another way it is installed please let me know where to check, as if when I check in other folders, it does not appear there. Only in EA Games folder.
@rn2yebphba29 You will need to run the Sims 2 patches using GrumpyLoader, not the game executable (such as Sims2.exe).
You can find The Sims 2 patches on Mod the Sims: https://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS2_Patches
Look for and download the patch files for every pack that you own. If clicking on the link doesn't start the download, then copy each download link into a new browser tab and press Enter. The files should, by default, download into your PC's Downloads folder. If you have ever changed this location, they will download it into the location you selected. Alternatively, you can open your browser's download history and look for the "Show in folder" button.
Once you install the base game, you can install the base game patch (that you downloaded from Mod the Sims) using GrumpyLoader, according to instructions from this post. After you have confirmed that the base game has been patched, you can install University, and repeat the process with the University patch. Then you can install Nightlife, and do the same with the Nightlife patch. For Open for Business and Pets patches, you should not need GrumpyLoader, but have it ready just in case.
