    @tachin00123456 , the Sims 2 was retired in 2018. The only way to get the game for Windows OS is to purchase an external disk drive and find the game disks on Amazon, E-Bay, thrift stores or game stores that sell used games. The game will run on Windows 11, but will require some tweaking and extra steps. 

    Do not try to download the "digital" version from pirate sites!

    The only digital version of the game that will run on modern computers is for the Mac OS available in the App Store, but it only contains the EP and SP that were ported to the Mac in those days (Base game to Bon Voyage with Family Fun Stuff, Glamour Life and Happy Holidays).
