The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection Problem - Please Help!!

The first part - same problem here. Nothing helped.

Second part - it should be in Origin file, not EA. :-)

Well, it depends, where you installed it, I left it on default, so it is in file named "Origin games". So if you didn't change target of instalation...

But that doesn't mean, that it can't be somewhere else, I'm not genius. :D
However, I still have the same problem like you and I just really hope, that someone will finally bring some solution...

There should be an EA Games folder where it's in but you might be having this issue: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-2/SOLUTION-No-Neighborhoods-to-pick-from/td-p/3156388/

Well, the problem is, that for me, the game even won't start, no matter, what I do... No loading screen, simply nothing. Ten seconds in task manager and then it's gone like I haven't started it at all. Every other program works just fine, so it won't be malware thing.

And I've got no TM in name anyway... Locale shouldn't matter, I mean, on our home computer (for kids) everything works absolutely fine and we have the same one...

My answer was directed to OP who does not have the folder.

It's a bit hard to help if everyone posts in 10 different threads. All very chaotic here 😉

Could you post this info: 

1. Click on Start and then type the following into the search prompt at the bottom: perfmon /rel
2. Press Enter to proceed.
3. A window will open and in there you can click on the red circles with a white X.
4. After clicking the X, the info on the bottom will update. Choose the Sims 2 Critical Event one and right click on it and choose "View Technical Details"
5. Now on the next window, choose Copy to clipboard at the very bottom and post this into a reply to us here.

Well, it's in my maternal language, so just briefly...

I guess, that this is important?

If it just means, that my computer can't handle it, I guess, I'll have to live with it 😃 but I read on forums, that more people have the same problem...

No, probably not your computer. Many users have this issue. That stupid Paul.dll (which is part of SecuRom) seems to cause a conflict on certain systems. I don't know why.

Do you maybe have any downlaod versions of Sims 3 or Sims Medevial ?

No, I don't have any version of Sims3 or Medieval...

Maybe I still have Sims1 - 8 in 1 somewhere in computer, that's all, I had to download it (can't recall where), because half of my old CDs don't work anymore and I was nostalgic. :D

So for now nothing we can do about it?

I honestly don't know atm. I'm unsure what version of paul.dll works and if you can just download one somewhere (usually don't recommend that). Unfortunately it's the weekend too.

I'm still trying to figure this one out but I see the paul.dll error on almost every report and someone did have luck with just replacing it with another version.

SecuRom wasn't introduced until Sims 2 so you won't find it on SIms 1. I do think it's on some of the Sims 2 discs but I don't know which ones. I'll be making a thread now to gather some info
