Sure, no problem. Here it is.

Thank you so much! I messed around with the settings and got it to stop. :eahigh_file:

@ShySnicker,

Glad to hear it worked 🙂 Enjoy with your Sims!

The screen has started flickering again. 😞 I installed all of my other expansion packs, except for IKEA Home Stuff, Happy Holiday Stuff, Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff, Glamour Life Stuff and FreeTime. I messed around with the settings, both on The Sims and Graphic Rules Maker, but nothing is working. Is there another solution? Thank you for all your help.

@ShySnicker,

Please try running the game in compatibility mode with Windows XP. To do it, right click on game's icon and select Propierties -> Compatibility. Also, try running the game as administrator right after setting the compibility with Windows XP (right click on the game's icon -> Run as Administrator)

I've tried running it on compatibility mode, and it made things worse. Now whenever I try to load it, my Sims 2 launcher goes full screen, and messes everything up. ☹️ I don't think there's any hope for it playing on this PC, thank you for all your help.

@ShySnicker,

Let's try another thing just in case 😉 Go to Origin and right-click in The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection cover -> choose Propierties.

In Propierties, go to Advanced Launch Settings and in the Command Line Arguments text field, plese add this: -w

With this, the game will run in windowed mode and it may work a better 🙂

I'll try, but how do I find Sims 2 Ultimate Collection on Origin? I can't find it anywhere.
