I know a fix! Right click on the Sims 2 and click properties. Then go to the compatibility tab and check the box named 'compatibility mode' then set the drop down menu under it to Windows XP (service pack 3).
I have a real good solution
easy peasy copy the files to c drive from the disk
make a folder called
disk images
then inside folder
type disk one
n another disk two
or for as many disks as you have to install
patch base game
and you're done
use the copys to install
as you morons made it hard to read the info is ll ok but it's formatted at bit 32 only
that advice isn't my own theres a few tutorials on yt
the issue is about the updater not compatability ok
so fix it and make it easiser for us to install as that's confusing isn't it well it works so yeah but EA MAKE A PATCH PLEASE
this is saaaaaaaaaad as
my hubby (im using his account btw)
loves the sims 3 I can't even get my head around it it's too complex and too far you lot nailed it on the head when you made
the sims 2 everything plus a few more so thanks leave it a that why must everyone forget the past for
would've made more sense to just make more expansion packs lol
I find it sad that you have made one compatible the new one and never thought that you need to go back and make all compatible
I also play the sims 1 and i'd love it if you bought it back onto the servers so I never have to find a sneaky copy that ruins my pc EVER AGIAN as it didn't run on my pc but a cracked copy did well at least before it destroyed my entire o.s this could've been avoided if you thought ahead at the time for both ts1 and ts2 of course windows will advance so if it does make patches for ALL of your games so we the consumer will continue to purchase ok
that is NOT COOL and indeed very VERY silly idk what you got going on there but i'm the type who wants to play what I always have played and just because win8 is win8 doesn't mean that the game is incompatible it means the game creators haven't figured out gee maybe we need to make the game compatible if we cannot do this we need to release a patch and we all know about win8 so don't leave it to the masses thanks leave it up to the programmers and the team responsible for making sims and man fun games.
because if that were true that sims 2 was im compatible then ahem nothing of the 32bit game-frame and half of windows wouldn't work including win8 and btw n fyi win8 is just win7 w a few new things added to it to make the customers go out n buy it the base is still the bloody same mind you i'm glad for win8 as it's very stable hardly crashes and people blame the people for games not the o.s because if it were the o.s the o.s would crash it's the game
as for sims 3 nah not my thing didn't like it sticking with the sims 2 and most likely the sims 4 which im eager to see but if it's too far out there im not buying it because just because it's new and wow it's not always worth it as after the sims 4 I will have to go thorough this again huh
his is the best advice I've seen so far that is sad im no i.t specialist and quick view on you tube and I found out how to fix this issue on my machine and all machines it involved no effort so i'm asking you all to do your bit so we the customers aren't annoyed as some live through this game and I hav my own life to lead
thanks guys and girls Amiea 🙂
