just a small note for some of you TS2 requires very good graphics for example i bought a new desktop pc for $3,899 and it installed successfully and everything but it was a slow as s**t and it took about 10 minutes just to go for my house to a shop so anyway i discontinued playing it and a a while later i bought a new laptop for $699 and it worked perfectly no laggin at all even once i played it for 7 hours STRAIGHT and it never slowed one bit dont know if it really has anything to do with any of this but thought i just say that lol

i aint guna read through the 100 pages of questions/answers as it'l take to long. got a sims 2 problem, the game loads up as normal, able to click a town, loads up fine. but when u click to go play a family, it just keeps loading and loading and loading and never enters the house. it's done this a few times, each time had to reinstall the game and exp packs.. it was working fine yesterday afternoon, turned it off, went back to play it yesterday night and the problem started up again... its gettin rather annoying.

i installed sims 2 to my new laptop,
but since then i have lost the fourth disk. when i try to install any expansion packs it says insert disk four to check if it needs any updates,
when i click cancel it automatically uninstalls the expansion pack and i cannot play it.
is there anyway to get past the update part?

Hello!
I've had a strange issue in my sims game since a few months : it won't show all the face templates. It only shows four of them. As it started I didn't mind because the maxis face templates are ugly anyway, but now, I've installed some custom face templates and I'd like to be able to see them all 27... :-s
Does anyone know where the problem comes from?

Hi there,
When I go to play a family on The Sims 2 it loads and then freezes. I press ALT+CRTL and DEL and task manager says it is not responding. I've run a check and found everything is working and I have enough space, etc. Any ideas whats happening? Could it be a disk problem? I have had it running on another computer before but that was awhile ago. It also freezes when I try to create a family.

[guitarechoes]

During student creator my game either freezes during creation period or when the creation is being loaded to the neighborhood family bin, anyone know what the problem is? You can see my specs next to my name but I don't think it has anything to do with specs as everyt, anything else seems fine any help please?
Also proof its not a graphics problem is that I can run spore on fine and spore is higher spec than sims 2.

I have been able to play Sims2 on this laptop before. But when I got sims3 I uninstalled sims2. Now I've come to install it again it has come up with
"Failed to find any DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapters in this system!Please make sure you have a direct X9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. The application will now terminate."

When I look on DirectX Diagnostic Tool, it says that I have DirectX 10.
So why won't it let me play it, when it used to let me. And it lets me play sims3?
Please help!

I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem but I recently installed 'Free time' and 'Bon Voyage' on to my computer, I have lots of custom content (that has never caused any problems what so ever, and even now isn't) but when I came to play the game again I kept getting a message saying 'Must be at centre of tile' when I tried to add doors and windows on a community lot.

The game has worked perfectly in the past, even when I installed Sims 3 onto the same Hard - drive. Eveything else seems to work fine, its just the building of doors and windows that doesnt seem to work. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you

Hey, just an update on the whole 'Must be at centre of tile' glitch.
I have tried the whole 'turn it off wait a while and turn it back on again' trick, I have tried searching for something that might have gone wrong but I can't really think of anything short of it accidentally getting moved when I was tidying up my harddrive. Also it is not just on Community lots, it also glitches on residential ones as well. Have moved some things round, such as icons etc to see if that works

I have had this game for a long time and it has been ok. it has a few minor glitches which i can work with, but this last one i can't get past: my sim died as an elder but he hasn't fully died...like he is gone and everyone acknowledges that he is gone but their aspirations never go down even though they all say family member dying will take a lot away and i can't play him but i also can't leave the lot. i can't save, quit, or go to the neighborhood. i don't wanna keep playing because it won't save anything. is my only option not to play that family anymore? is there some way for me to get around this?
