Setting Up Sims 2 on Windows 10/Modern Operating Systems?

Post by Marnie »

Hi everyone! I got my hands on my old Origin account which has the Sims 2 Complete Collection! The last time I set it up on my computer, it was a few years ago on Windows 8.1. Does anyone have any setup instructions or tips for making the Sims 2 run on Windows 10? (Getting it to recognize current graphics cards would be a great help!)

Thank you in advance to anyone who is able to help.

I was able to get the game working on my new graphics card. Here's the link to the guide I used (links to Modthesims, but the actual guide is a GoogleDoc).

Hi Marnie,

Thanks for posting this! I'm still on Windows 7 because I've heard it can be a hassle for some to get TS2 to work with Windows 10 :melting:

Glad you were able to get your graphics, etc to work!

I'm glad you've brought attention to this, it took me ages to work out I needed the 4GB patch when sorted out TS2 back in May :lol: this was the guide I used
