I am aware that many, many people have issues with TS2 running on modern systems. The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection, on the other hand, is a straightforward download-and-install, and it is attached to Origin.
During the course of TS2, the Sims 2 has gone through many changes. In the beginning, the 2004 version, it's just a simple installation, and there wasn't even a Launcher. You just installed the game through the four discs, played a little game, swapped the discs from time to time and got the whole thing installed eventually.

ETA: Store Versions that contained the SecuRom. Such as the comp versions like Fun with Pets etc. However, the Origin version has removed the DRM SecuRom in lieu of Origins on DRM. That's why it works better on windows 10 (runs) rather than errors thrown sometimes with the DRM versions from the EA Store back in the day.,
