    @parasjempre The Sims 2 for Windows is not compatible with macOS; Mac versions were released separately.
    If you want to play using the disks on Mac, you must install Windows through Bootcamp first, then install The Sims 2 on the Windows partition using your disks.

    Alternatively, Mac App Store offers The Sims 2 Super Collection (base game, 6 EPs, 3 SPs) as a digital download. Although it is missing some packs, this version is updated for modern Macs and runs nicely without any fixing required.
