You'll need to find and install the base game's patch in order to install any of the expansion packs. The installer tries to connect to the long since taken down Sims 2 site to get the patch, which is why, when it fails, it uninstalls the game. Once you patch, the installer will be able to see that you've already updated…

I had Sims going to various lots that I went to in Sims 3. And just like in real life if you went somewhere during hours most Sims were at work, well, there were fewer Sims there. The quantity that go to each lot is dependent on your computer so if your computer barely handles the game, you may not have many Sims out and…

I just want to turn off the notifications for the EA App needing to be updated. I don't want to miss a friend request. I don't want to miss a chat. Right now, I can't find a way to make it so that I get invites for friends and chats but NOT the EA App needing to be updated. That's what I'm asking for. And that's what seems…

I'm also having issues with the EA App and I've been trying for the last 2 weeks to get an answer to the following question: Can the notification for updating the EA App itself be turned off and if so, how to do it? Because it likes to pop up over the top of full screen YouTube videos and that's not something I want to…

Click on the ... icon and click on view properties. In the Advanced launch options put the -w there and hit save. Then launch the game. That should do it.

That's Sims 4's shortcut. That wouldn't work for Sims 2. And if it's the Ultimate Collection, it would potentially need EA App to recognize it as being installed. If they got it after EA removed securom from it, it required you to be connected to Origin to play. If EA App isn't recognizing it and they have the version that…

I would grab one of the ones linked in the post I posted earlier. Any of the versions in that post are the best to use.

Now not even putting Origin in offline mode is working. I'm 🐸🐸🐸🐸. I should be able to determine when I upgraded to the EA App. I would have been fine if that meant that I could not update Sims 4 until such time as I updated to EA App. But I should have been able to play my game without having to update to the EA App. There…

Here's a link to the forum thread on it (it does have a link out to an external site where the creator has posted it): https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/769044/the-legacy-challenge-mega-thread/p1

Because for some of us we've been hearing a lot of problems with the games we play and they aren't the currently released games. Sims 2 and Sims 3 have had reported issues with the EA App. Part of the reason why the forced push got delayed initially, I would imagine. Even if the issues are rare, doesn't mean that people…

I'm wary of any multiplayer aspect of the game. EA has shown in the past that they will tie rewards to the multiplayer aspect of the Sims games. Just look at Simport from Sims 3. You send your Sims to other players games to perform (rabbit hole, you don't even get to follow) and you can unlock things in the main game. The…

@EgonVM Here you go: https://www.reddit.com/r/sims2help/comments/tqk903/where_can_i_download_simpe/ Linked to this reddit thread as they have 3 versions of SimPE. I have the 73.44 version and I downloaded SimPE back when its standalone site was still up and I had all EP's and SP's at the time so all three of those will…

If the black shadows are only when they are inside, there's also a fix out there for that. Here's a link for that fix: https://modthesims.info/d/569585/sim-shadow-fix-updated-2-jan-16.html

And how many people actually read the agreements that sites/programs force you to "read" vs how many just scroll it to the bottom to trigger the next/accept button to become active? How will the site know the person has actually read the rules vs just scrolled to the bottom? Even if it can tell a fast scroll from a slow…

Yea, they shouldn't have made it to where you can't have both. That way players who do have issues with the older games in the EA App can use Origin for the older games, but transfer the games that are current to EA App for further updates. So Simmers who haven't moved to Sims 4 could continue to just use Origin and those…

Nothing was confirmed, but Pinstar's wife did comment to someone in 2018 asking the same question on the Scoring page and here's what she posted: "Sorry for the late reply, I missed this question. I am going to need to check with Pinstar on this but I THINK we kept the number of deaths the same and you can just choose…

Ultimate Collection was only ever offered through Origin and it's no longer available to get. Any Sims 2 disc you buy will just be the base game without any patches or expansions.

Some tips: 1. Hunger is most important motive. Who cares if they're stinky or will pee on themselves. They'll live. 2. Energy is the second most important as it can make dealing with Hunger harder 3. If Energy and Hunger are low, have them eat a snack. They won't face plant into their snack. Then have them go nap for a…

Note that this only works if you have the physical discs. This will not work if you are using the Ultimate Collection.

Sims 2 and corruption get overexaggerated many times due to all the times players spent arguing with Simmers on the official forums that would claim that it's not possible to corrupt the game. And it's one of those things that if you get caught unaware and you get unlucky with how quickly the corruption spreads you can…

I don't think I've seen that in all my years playing either. I assume you're using an EA bed?

Rule of thumb here: If they don't show up in your relationship panel after interacting with them, it's probably not a safe idea to move in or marry them. Those special NPC's are shared between neighborhoods and their file is located in the installation directory. Meaning you'll have to reinstall the game and delete any…

I've got sporadic random crashing. Crash Log Analyzer states that it's some CC, but the crashing is so infrequent that it would be impossible for me to test to see what CC it is that is causing the crashing. I don't usually lose much when it happens as I've learned to save frequently with Sims 3.

@mcrudd I can't imagine that rabbithole school would no longer work. There's too many other things that would draw attention to the home lot that would make forcing high school to be a non-rabbithole to be problematic. Such as the other active careers. I'd say since the goal of this challenge is to not get players bogged…

@mcrudd From what someone in a discord for another forum said that it's affecting those who play on Long. So given that this challenge is played with aging off, this save should be fine. It's just those that had been saved while set to Long that are having an issue. And aging off is the workaround for the glitch anyway.

Everyone's had good updates! Again, no new babies, but new post about the babies I've already mentioned in this thread. Chapter 4 - Jealous

@all I've been silently following along. Everyone's been having great updates! While I still haven't played, I have posted another chapter of my story for this challenge. Chapter 3 - Keep Your Head Down

@Dinkus83 I don't think teens started off immune the emotion deaths, but it got added in with one of the patches. If I recall correctly.
Howdy, Stranger!
