hi i have tried the long process but never got past the extraction and override of the gardens and mansions files to my sims2 files. Is there maybe something wrong with my extraction app? I use winrar free

i finally figured it out
so the first thing you want to do is do the standard install process with the sims 2 when it is finished do not open the application as you will need to do more stuff
when it is done you will need to install the patch but it says you need cd 4
i found a video with some files that help with that here : http://www.mediafire.com/file/lzbxtj51r6b6e6r/TS2_update.zip/file
what you need to do is extract it and copy or cut the files and paste it in your sims 2 files override everything and then you may install the patches
then you need to install mansions and gardens pack
if you are trying to install it and it says "this app has been blocked for your protection" dont worry this video should help : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gjf0PxhGU0U
once you have installed mansions and gardens pack it will check if your sims is up to date and if you used the files correctly then it will say it is up to date
if it doesnt cancel the install and paste the TS2 updater files in the directory again
then it will be installed dont open it yet we are almost there
then you need to install the NO_CD file provided by abandoned ware when you install the mansions and gardens pack rar
and paste it in your TS bin then you delete all your desktop shortcuts for the game and make a shortcut out of the SIMS2EP9.exe in the mansions and gardens directory and hopefully the game will work if it doesnt im sorry
but it worked for me so doesnt hurt to try?

i did what Jude Williams said and i finally got the game to work after installing some files that allowed me to bypass the cd 4 thing and finally got the game to launch however for what ever reason the game would decide to have a "fatal crash" every time the game would try and load. I was really hoping to play this game but atleast in my case the game is completely unplayable in the sense that it wont get past the loading screen

@TIREDGAMER
I'm having the same problem! It's installing as a DVD on its own with no space left to add a patch! @Jude Williams says it's supposed to be C:/Program Files/EA Games/The Sims 2
But I don't even have an "EA games" folder! I'm obviously not knowledgeable of how computers work so I'm completely lost... I just want to play the sims 2 again :,(

I tried all the tips in the comments but I can't get it to work... I installed it and it created an ISO file which windows happily opened on its own and made it into a DVD drive for whatever reason which I guess is right. I tried to install it but it said no CD so I did all the steps in the comments and even downloaded a patch, still with "insert CD 4". There was no CD folder as far as I can see.

I tried Dave's instructions and downloaded manual updates but I cannot install them in my sims folder as it says there is no more space so I can't install it and override the patches. I'm just so lost... I was really hoping this was going to work.

If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated. I've spent like.. 4 hours on this.

I need help with the Install can't get it to run. Contact me on discord: Dr. Retard#9175

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.

Inge 2020-06-09 3 points

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

Dave33333 2020-06-09 -1 point

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.

Dave33333 2020-06-09 0 point

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.

Dave33333 2020-06-08 2 points

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.

Dave33333 2020-06-08 1 point

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

Jude Williams 2020-06-07 2 points

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

Fofo 2020-06-01 1 point

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?

anon 2020-05-31 1 point

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

Empee 2020-05-29 2 points

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.

kjsfh 2020-05-22 0 point

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

Retro Pixel Lizard 2020-05-17 1 point

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?
