Sims 2 DVD Rom crashing
My sims 2 game allows me to make a family but when I try and move them into a house it appears to crash. If I don't do anything a small window appears with my sims dancing, indicating that they need ...

Having issues with these reply's.
Thank you for your reply, By patch do you mean the 4gb patch? or something else?
The only files in my objects folder are "objects (2021_04_16 21_32_17 UTC),package" and "objects.package"
As for my Graphics ruler i have a attached a picture of what it is set at.
@stitchandtigger By patches I am referring to game updates that EA released for the game (bug fixes, etc.). They were available on The Sims 2 website before it was closed, and are now available on Mod the Sims and SimsVIP.
You're saying that the Objects folder has more than one file? That is a symptom of a failed patch and that's why you cannot load into any lots. The file is corrupt and the game can't read it.
As for Graphics Rules Maker, some settings should be tweaked, but you should leave that until after every applicable game patch has been installed.
Let me know if you need help installing EA's patches.

This is turning into a rabbit hole!
So the patches wouldn't work on the game as there was a problem with the original file's. The solution was to uninstall and reinstall! Which i have done, but due to issue's have used both the auto install and the copy disc and auto install options. Both are leaving me with "you are running the wrong version of The sims 2. Please run Blah instead" Blah has changed a couple of times after different installations.
I have also ran the Patches I got from Mod the sims website and a patch TS2 Update.
If I was less stubborn I would give up!
@stitchandtigger , here's something I've found works great. Ok, unistall Sims 2 once more. Next thing to do is to install just the base game and patch it. Start up the game and see if everything runs ok. Repeat for next Expansion/Stuff pack. (I know time consuming). However, this will insure that your game is properly patched. Finally, patch with the 4GB patch which should help the game to run better and Graphics Rule Maker as well. Graphics Rule Maker can be found on SimsNetwork. Make sure to get the latest version as this will allow the game to recognize newer graphics cards and allow the game to run more smoothly.
Well there in is the issues, every time i try and start the base game I get "you are running the wrong version of The sims 2. Please run Blah instead" Blah changes almost every time, and it's symbols I'm unsure how to type!
