The Sims 2

Bobby 2025-02-15 3 points Windows version

Well, I'm really glad I grabbed the ultimate version here before it was re-released worse than the original at a shameful price by these greedy ass directors from EA. So I'm going to play it FREE thank you guys

Paula 2025-02-10 1 point Windows version

Luckily I have the files on this page for the Sims 2 before they released the infamous "functional" version with Windows 10 and 11, and the ones from my abandoneware are perfect in those new systems

If we are going to have to pay for the first two games again, then lets get the original versions put on GOG! EA shouldn't get a single cent for their lazy re-releases!

No, Angzoe 2025-02-10 1 point

No one is going to buy a worse version of 20 year old game that it's publisher couldn't even be bothered to properly fix for modern systems. EA doesn't deserve money for not even properly doing the bare minimum for what a release of an old game should have. All they did was install a bunch of fan patches without actually testing whether or not they work. If GOG re-released it then it's removal from this site might've been more understandable, but because it's EA there is absolutely no reason for people to not get the game off the internet through "other means".

Angzoe 2025-02-09 -1 point

But if you want to be maybe slightly happy, the PSP versions of the Sims games (Portable Sims games in general) have not been re-released, and are not hosted here but other places (Check reputable subreddits for emulator advice, direction, etc.) They differ from the PC/Mac versions of the game, but especially more modern iterations (Not the Gameboy Advanced version obviously, although it's equally fun in it's own right) But just look around and don't stomp your way to your room when there are still stones left untouched by EA.

Angzoe 2025-02-09 -1 point

Also there is a severe lack of cope in the comments. If you didn't get the game before it was not abandonware, it is your fault, your loss, your problem.

The website owners have no legal right to have any game up, but they can because the license for whatever game isn't valid.

It so happens The Sims have been picked up and re-released, don't complain if you are late, because you won't get it here and if you can't afford it, then that's your own issue.

Angzoe 2025-02-09 -1 point

Q: "Where do I download this game? Is it still abandonware?"
A: No it's been re-released and is no longer considered abandonware. It's been re-released and is avaliable under "The Sims 2 Legacy Collection" On Steam, EA, etc.

The MAC version is sold as " The Sims 2 Super Collection" on the Mac App Store. This version is content complete (For MAC) but lacks certain content that was never released for MAC.

These are the facts.

Achei uma bela piada que relançaram um jogo com mais de 20 anos por "um pequeno preço" de 109 reais, bom mesmos era quando se esforçavam para fazer um jogo e ainda eram baratos, agr, além de caros não tem a mesma paixão e emoção.

Pffffff 2025-02-02 3 points

They "RE-RELEASED" game and of course Myabandonware took down links to Sims 2 and 1.
From what I heard it's still relatively broken like it was for modern OSes.

Nice joke. Usually I'm not for piracy but this is the case where it's fully justifed.

The MyAbandonware download has been superseded by an overpriced, broken-down re-release. Save your money and get the MagiPack if you can find it.

How to find the NOCD patch/crack, it is not in the download.

Go to the mentioned expansion Mansion and Garden Stuff and scroll down.
Not the download ISO, but further down. You will find addionatil files.

Hi everyone, I have started downloading the Sims 2 Complete Collection and it just stopped and keeps saying network error so it can't resume the download. It has downloaded 3/9.2GB so far. I have tried downloading it again but it does not want to reach the website. Is there something wrong with the website or has the game been removed? I have checked my firewall/proxy settings. Nothing changed. Please can someone help!

I have tried following all the steps, to the best of my understanding... I have managed to install the game, and did get around the 'this app is blocked' thing, trying to install Mansion&Garden... But I can't find the code for M&G anywhere, the instructions for locating the code are just baffling, there are no such directories. Now I did locate some key that seemed to belong to the expansion pack, but it was too short. If it was the right code to begin with, it was missing the entire last segment of it. I tried using the code for the game itself, but obviously it didn't work. Any help would be much appreciated.

copy & paste, select replace
(You can also try to run it as administrator )

Wilsonnextdoor 2021-08-21 1 point

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.

TiredGamer 2020-10-20 2 points

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.

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.

Dave33333 2020-06-09 0 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 1 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 4 points

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 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.

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".
