For 32 - Bit : Find EA GAMES folder and open the sims 2... change the Display Name... Delete the ™ out... and the problem is solved...
For 64- Bit : Open Wow6432Node then.. Find EA GAMES folder and open the sims 2... change the Display Name... Delete the ™ out... and the problem is solved...
Before it's should look like this : The Sims 2™ Ultimate Collection
After : The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection
I thought your folder in documents never got created ? Confused.
i found it in Program Files/Origin Games.
No, that's the installation folder, not your doc folder. The doc folder should be im documents\eagames
I don't have TS2 in any other folders. I have My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims
The sims or thesims 3 ?
Try removing that PM as described and see if you then get a folder in doc for the ultimate collection when you try to start the game.
1) The Sims 3 sorry i didnt add that in....
2) im not very experienced with going in folders and program info so.. umm.... what is a PM?
A typo. I meant to say the TM.
mine never had a TM at all... is that a bad thing?
my TS2 didnt have a TM.
so i managed to find the EA games folder in registry editor and delete the TM out of the sims 2 ultimate collection (which i found the TM i must have been mistaken before) and i opened the sims 2 and got the same reaction every time now. the screen goes to 640 x 480 resolution and uses only 256 colors, then stops working and goes back to normal. i also found the critical reaction details and i copied it, so i just need you to tell me where i should put it. i really hope to fix this problem soon so i can play the game.
