Has anyone at EA/Origin even tried to play Sim 2 on modern hardware? This game simply does not work.
The game will open, but if you try to CAS then it crashes. This is only fixed after editing the game to use more than 1024MB of RAM.
Even then, the game crashes all the time. You can't even change the game to be in 1920x1080 resolution without editing a config file. From what I have found the inclusion of securom, among other things, causes this game to simply not work.
Can someone at EA/Origin get on this?
Unfortunately I think the odds of them actually doing anything about it are more than extremely slim. I myself have been trying to get this game to work and have tried all the "fixes" available. My game still not only crashes mostly before I even make it in to a family, but there are pink flashing textures EVERYWHERE regardless of what I've tried. The sims themselves are pink t-poses as well so it's 100% unplayable. Hopefully somebody can eventually figure out how to make it work, but I'm doubtful.
