This might be a dumb question or someone might've answered it already somewhere else that I couldn't find, but can you run Sims 2 on a Windows 11 PC? I recently upgraded from 10 to 11, and I was previously trying to figure out a way to play my favorite Sims game again. But now I'm having even more difficulties finding tutorials on how to do it because its a Windows 11. Do you guys know of any YT videos or written articles that would help a girl out?

I copied over everything from my thumb drive, that had been copied from my previous machine running Windows 10. I don't remember where I found everything I needed to get it working, I just googled things like "graphics rules changes for Sims 2 on Windows" and "flashing pink neighborhood Sims 2" and followed the advice. Even though none of it has been updated for Windows 11, it all worked. The one thing that didn't work was a tutorial on fixing the shadows (which show up as large black squares under Sims). A mod I found called Shadowfix also no longer worked. I ended up just turning shadows off in the menu.
Edited to add: If you don't already have it from before, you still need the 4GB patch, which is here:https://ntcore.com/?page_id=371. It still works.
Ah okay! Thanks so much for the advice, I've been trying to figure out how to play Sims 2 without any glitches for a while now and I've just about given up 😂
