I finally made Teen Styles run.

Remember to install to the ROOT of your hard drive instead of the typical installation. Or it will be rendered inoperable. I spent a good amount of time working on this.

I followed the steps and it works perfectly for me. Thank you !!!!

No matter how many times I try to run teen styles. The installer either freezes, renders the game inoperable. And at one time it finished and told me "The Sims 2 was installed improperly."

I tried different sources and this installer was made by Satan himself.

New issues running the game. Mainly starting.

After installing all expansions, the game would trigger a BSOD so I started under administrator.

Evem then the game would crash. I have no clue which pack is the rogue one, but I'm slowly taking care of it.

Okay... After some fiddling and using the instructions, I got it running.

First, and most important thing... On modern operating systems, the patch is broken, I even fetched a CD 4 iso, it crashed. You have to manually update it by downloading the update files (Can actually be found on a YouTube video, kinda easy to find I think.) and then manually dumping them into your installation directory, let everything overwrite, I'll try to send it over to the administrators of the site at a later time maybe.

Regardless, doing this and following the steps allows Sims 2 to run.

We've done it guys, we finally cracked it.

When I try to run the patch, it asks for CD 4.

If you do it this way you'll only need the cd crack from mansion & garden, cause it is the latest stuff pack. When Base+ M&G stuff work you can install the others without needing a crack and it wont ask for the cd from the other packs

When I gave them the sims 2 files i also included a installation guide but that's gone i see. So I'll put it here.
Hello Gamer

It is important to pay attention to the following steps or the sims 2 might not work.
Please note the Sims 2 is an older game so it might not work on computer but you can always try. ;)

Step 1, Run the "AutoRun" to start the installation proces (inside the Gamedata folder).

Step 2, When the game asks about the CD serial fill in the code inside the CD Keycode folder.

Step 3, After the Basegame has been installed do NOT boot up de game yet or it will not work. The game will ask you to insert the original CD.
You'll also need to Patch the game or you will not be able to install expansion packs and stuff packs. Inside the CD Keycode folder you can find the patch.

Step 4, Please install the last Stuffpack "Mansion and Garden Stuff" the same way as the last 3 steps.

Step 5, When te "Mansion and Garden Stuff" is installed try to search for the installation folder on your drive.
In most cases C:- Program Files- EA games- The Sims 2. Now open the TS Bin forlder off "Mansion and Garden Stuff".

Step 6, Now in the M&GS CD keycode folder there is ann .exe called "Sims2EP9". You will need to copy this to the TS Bin folder
you just found in Step 5 and replace it.

Step 7, Delete the sims 2 shortcuts created on your desktop and make one from the Sims2EP9 one.
You can now try to boot up the Sims 2. If it is not working I'M sorry my dear but try retracing step 5 and 6.

If it works and you can start to play you did it right and can install the other SP and EP's
Well done and enjoy playing the Sims 2.

I am facing the same issue as the others, it said I need to insert a CD.

Please if anyone knows how to fix this?

I have the same problem as SORROWFALLSAWAY does anyone know how to fix it?

We need to wait for some brave & clever soul, who will find a suitable NoCD patch, that matches this exact version. Probably the one posted here is not correct. I sought but failed to find one.

I don't know what to do.. it says I need to insert a cd but I cant find it

With or without the expansions, this is still the best of the entire Sims franchise. I even found a way to get rich enough to have a manor (If I could even design a manor) in less than 15 minutes without cheating, but that requires the open for business expansion.

If you got black rectangles under your Sims, open up the console (CTRL SHIFT C) and enter " boolProp objectShadows false".

Is there a specific order you need to open the files to get the game to work without the disk?
