How can I register my copy of TS2 with origin?

Timoth26

Hey, I was wondering. How do I register my copy of TS2 with origin? I have the The Sims 2 Double Deluxe and I have it install on a windows 8.1 and it won't load. The launcher would come up and the close out immediately. So, how do I register The Sims 2 with origin? Please let me know. Thanks.

Have you tried removing mods?

You should be able to claim the serial code in Origin and then it will be listed under your games.

Hi

You can't start TS2 with the launcher any more- there is no home page for it to connect. So, you'll have to bypass the launcher-

If you use another Expansion to open TS2, go to that folder in your Programs file.

First, The Sims 2 don't need and can't be registered in Origin if you bought a DVD.

Second, if you bought a digital download, the game is already registered in Origin.

Third, your problem is not caused by Origin.

First, you CAN register a DVD copy on Origin. You have the go on the Origin chat, give the rep your serial number from the DVD and they'll add a copy to your Origin account for DD. (I know because my disc was cracked and I did it)

Well, if Double Deluxe is having issues, just contact EA via live chat. I had a similar issue where I misplaced all my Sims 2 disks, though not my codes. The rep I talked to gave me an exception and added The Sims 2: Ultimate Edition to my Origin account which comes with much more than The Sims 2: Double Deluxe.

It's good news

I went to live chat earlier this year and got my TS2 Double Deluxe registered and got TS2 UC listed as an owned game on Origin.

basically you need to find what ever your latest ep of the sims 2 you own, go to the drive you installed the game on (C:/ or /, etc.)-> Program Files-> EA GAMES-> the latest ep you have installed-> TS Bin. In there you will find and .exe file that you need to use to launch the game. For example mine is called Sims2EP9.exe you can make a shortcut of this file to your desktop so it will start the game. The problem is that the launcher had links to site no longer accessible which freaks the computer out and causes it to crash.

Hope this helps you out because it worked for me

You can't register it as they no longer support the game.
