The Sims 2 COMPATIBILITY WITH WINDOWS 8

Question

I've spoken with customer support and looked through Google and The Sims 2 just isn't compatible with Window 8.

A technician suggested I post to encourage those who love The Sims 2 to speak up, so that EA may develop a patch for us.

It's not fair that we can't play a great game because we have a new computer. The Sims 2 was by far the better game...I really don't enjoy 3 or 4. I miss Sims Business and my shops!!!

Please respond here if you'd like to see a patch created so that The Sims 2 is playable on ALL operating systems!!!!!!

my game works fine but I think for all the Sims 2 fan base, there should be a patch to help all of us use our games.
