Sims 2 Double Deluxe - Screen Flickers on a Windows 10 PC

It flickers on neighborhood view, when I'm playing the game or editing a house. My PC is up to date, and the disc has no scratches and is clean. The flickering is my only problem, I've tried messing around with the settings on my Sims 2 game menu, but nothing seems to work.

    @ShySnicker,

    Thank you 🙂 Keep in mind that The Sims 2 is an old game and may have some compatibility issues with newest hardware. You can use a program called Graphic Rules Maker (you can search for it on Google) which may help you to solve the issue, as it usually fixes Intel HD compatibility problems

    @ShySnicker,

    Maybe, and also the windowed mode workaround, as different packs have different setting and different files that need to be modified.

    Alright. 🙂 Thank you again for all your help. If I have any more problems (Hopefully not!) I will be back.

    A new problem has occurred. 😞 I got my Sims 2 FreeTime expansion pack and tried to download it, but it gets to 50% before saying: "A problem has occurred when trying to transfer the file 'EA:\TSBin\Sims2EP7.exe' from the media. Do you want to retry or cancel installation?". I clicked retry and I get the same message. I cleaned the disc and nothing has changed. Any suggestions? Or will I need to buy a new disc?

    @ShySnicker,

    Sounds like a damaged disc. As you have lots of The Sims 2 Original games, I'd suggest contacting an EA Advisor, they might be able to add The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection (The Sims 2 + All Expansion Packs + All Stuff Packs) for free to your Origin account. Buying a new The Sims 2 Hobbies DVD in 2017 will be much difficult sadly
