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).

Years ago I started playing The Sims, The Sims 2 and eventually The Sims 3. I actually do not enjoy The Sims 3, so I am still playing The Sims 2. Unfortunately, since I bought a new laptop, I have not been able to play this game. The laptop has an Intel Core i7-3632QM CPU @2.20GHz 2.20 GHz processor, 8.00 GB RAM card and a GeForce GT 640 graphics card. Also, it works on Windows 8. At first, I could not install any expansion packs due to a problem with the updates. After searching the internet for a solution, I was able to install all the expansion packs. (I downloaded files that replaced some of my Program Files (x86) > EA Games > De Sims 2.) I was relieved, because I was finally able to play the game again. (Yay!) Unfortunately, the game shut down everytime I tried to create a new household or tried to enter an existing household. I tried several tricks that I found on the internet, such as changing the compatibility settings to Windows XP or Windows Vista, but nothing worked. Now, I am kind of desperate for a solution. It is difficult to say goodbye to a game I enjoyed playing for such a long time. And The Sims 3 just isn't doing it for me.
