Hello, guys, do you have any tips how to make the sims 2 additions work together from discs on windows 10? I installed University and then Night Life, but when I run Night life it does not see University and delete college neighborhoods and all this stuff. Thank you!
@nastenyaus , try the following:
Locate your Sims 2 folder (found Documents > EA Games > Sims 2) and move it to your Desktop. Do not copy and paste the folder or create a shortcut. Actually move it. This will keep your saved games, CC/Mods safe.
Next start up Sims 2 as normal to allow for a new game folder to regenerate. Your saved games will not be present at the time. Choose a Neighborhood and see if you can add the University subhood and the Downtown subhood. Once you add these, start up a game and play for a while checking to make sure you can enter these hoods and do not notice any other issues.
Please let me know what happens so we can figure out where go from there.
Thank you for the answer. I tried it. Nightlife still works as a separate game and there is no option to add a University subhood. When I tried to run it from University it doesn't work at all (neighborhood loading continues forever). The Sims 2 + The Sims 2 University had worked correctly together before I installed Nightlife. At the end of installing both of these adds I get this massage: "The update process did not complete successfully. Installation will now terminate." I fixed it by task manager -> end task. Probably it is the issue...
@nastenyaus Base game, University and Nightlife patches almost always crash on Windows 10 and corrupt the game files. If you ever had a patch that closed without any message or with an error, that was it. It might be the root of your issue (especially with infinite loading). There are 3rd party ways to bypass errors and patch the game successfully with its original patches.
@Tremayne4260, do you think it will ever be possible to add a common mods/fixes list to The Sims 2 section like the ones for The Sims 3 and The Sims 4?
@mate54 I’ve asked and have not gotten a reply.
@mate54 , it would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath due to the age of the game.
I did not install any patches...
@nastenyaus , you really should patch your game. (Aside from the Windows 10 conflicts), the patches fix many issues that the game had at launch.
Game runs correctly, the only problem is I can not combine the additions together ☹️ I also installed Open For Business, it does not see previous additions too. Tried to fix it by adding ini-document with all additions in TSBin of last addition , but still nothing....
