The Sims 2 Windows 7-10 Fixes
It's not uncommon to have problems with The Sims 2 on Windows 7, 8, 8.5, and 10. I've had all of these versions of windows and had trouble running The Sims 2 on all of them. The Sims 2 is my favorite Sims game so naturally I searched the internet for fixes and Troubleshoot Forums. Here's what I found: Black Flickering This is caused by your graphics card not agreeing with the game. Turn Shadows to Medium or turn them off completely. That's the simplest fix. If you're also having any of these: Screen flickering, Black screen, graphical errors, pie menus won't load, gameplay errors, shadows still flickering, mods won't show up. First, before doing any more fixes, remove your mods folder and all mods if you have any, just to be safe. Second, download Graphics Rule Maker from SimsNetwork: http://www.simsnetwork.com/simpedia/the-sims-2/editions/the-sims-2/specials/graphics-rules-maker-improve-compatibility-with This program, (Virus free, I checked) is made to fix all the problems listed above except for the mod issue. Let it find your Sims 2 game, add your graphics card to its database, set your screen resolution, and apply the fixes. (But try to avoid using all the fixes if possible) I personally used this and it fixed my Sims 2 game 110%. Looks better than it did before. Now for the mods, check the in game options, there's a section to toggle the mods on and off. Check on and that should fix it, if it doesn't then its a deeper problem. So there ya go! Enjoy The Sims 2!
CEP Installation Help
Howdy peeps. Unfortunately, a few weeks back I lost everything on my pc when I had to do a new re-installation. Now... in the past I have had no problems installing TS2UC, or any of the extra bits of software. But this time I just cannot get CEP to install. I read up on it and it seems that it has trouble installing due to the new set up of the UC and where files are located, so there is a manual installation one available. Trouble is, the instructions for putting all the bits in all of the places are wrong for me - I do not have the folders listed and therefore don't know where to put the bits. Is anyone able to help please? I am on Windows 7, I installed the game through Origin and it is the Ultimate Collection.
Need Help Changing Resolution for The Sims 2
Hi, I bought The Sims 2 on disc. I have installed it fine, but the resolution is stuck as 800 x 600. There is no option to change it. I have tried editing the game files like people have suggested for the complete collection but I can't save the file once I edit it. So that option doesn't work for me. I've also tried talking to someone at EA support about getting the ultimate collection but they told me they don't give it out anymore. I don't want to play the game in low resolution as it looks bad. Am I doing something wrong? Why can't I edit the game files like everyone else can? I can't delete them either... Please help?Getting sims 2 discs working on windows 10
Is it possible for sims 2 discs to work on windows 10. I have seen tutorials and read about the ultimate collection on windows 10 but cant find anything about the disc version, as I missed out on uc it might be the only way I can play sims 2 again. Any advice would be appreciated.
