Sims 2 airplane crash

Hey cindy, sorry to be a pain but I was really wondering what pc you have to play the sims 2 on? Love the videos! I am autistic and this game is tremendously important to me and I was going crazy not being able to run it on windows Hey Cindy! I found this thread because I was able to find my charger for my super old laptop that still works and currently The Sims 2 works on it works completely fine but I wanted to update to Windows 10 so I can use this laptop to play other games as well as The Sims.

However after reading all the steps, I realized my laptop only had 3GB of Ram with 2. Do you think these steps will work in my situation? Thank you for your time! Hi, getting any help with getting the game to work would be very much appreciated.

I had the game working for quite some time, but I needed to repair the game from Origin because it was saying some of the files had disappeared and it was no longer launching. The 4gb patch has applied, afaik. I installed the patch and it worked I used to have the pink glitch in the neighborhood view and in-game.

Following all of this I can now play! This was a life saver! All the other steps should be the same. Nor a folder called x Sorry, could you please help? Not all the warnings are up front. Hey Cindy, so I do not really know if my settings are now correct.

After applying the 4gb patch my memory ist constantly at , but my free memory is switching around after I opened and played the game. It is still pretty high and switches between and , but it is not constantly at and that concerns me a little bit. I also already tried moving the. Before I mess more with my game I wanted to know if I actually need to or if my memory is fine that way. If you could help me with this I would be more than gratefull! Cindy, you saved me!

I was using different patch, different methods but yours helped me! Now I can play without crashing! Hey Cindy, thank you for this fix! Feel free to join the Discord and ask in our help channel. Live Mode i guess i can deal with lol but creating a new Sim is near impossible without a bad headache right after…. It always worked just fine for me, even after the Windows 10 upgrade, but one day it just randomly stopped working? It does this no matter what I do. Any help would be really appreciated because I miss playing this game so much!

The patch worked on my config file, but when I tried to run the game I got the Direct X error. I went to Leefish but I dont recognize any of the video card sgr…not sure what to do now.

Hello repaired on Origin, it will put the files back as before and the patch will be uninstalled. Thank you for this wonderful guide. It was the very last thing on your list that fixed it for me. I would have needed the 4gig patch and the graphics rules put my video card in the database. Again thanks for this guide. I am happy to be able to play. Hi anna. What does the error message say? I am having some problem with managing the 4GB patch.

Now, I know I must sound like a noob, but you said unzip twice, and what should I do to unzip in these two cases? You just need to unzip the file you download — the patch itself. Hi, Cindy! Thanks for all your work on The Sims, thanks to you my game runs perfectly and looks great on Desktop Computer. But I have this problem on my laptop. Would you know what to do? Hopefully that will fix it!

Thanks for replying as well, love your videos! And how could I fix it? Sounds like a mod conflict to me. Good luck! I tried all but it wont work. The error actually is just a plain prompt with nothing written on it. I was able to play for like 10 games but then it wont run.

I have a problem. Also, my game was lagging a bit after installing the GRM; I buy something, for example a bush by the grave, and suddenly some spots from the ground disappear for a moment!?

Is it something to do with GRM, or how am I going to fix this? Hello, im Danasia and I have issues involving me playing the sims2. I have the sims2 disc but i cannot play it because my pc does not have a disc holder thing…the only way for me to get the sims2 is for me to have it digitally but they dont have that anymore…what do you suggest?

The only way to get a legal copy of The Sims 2 is to get the disc version. Sorry for the late reply! Please come join our Discord and post in the simshelp channel. There are a lot of knowledgeable people there who can help you further with troubleshooting. And I will jump in to help when I can! Hey Cindy, i downloaded this the correct way and my sim keeps resetting! Try turning testing cheats on and an error box should pop up when your Sim resets. Hi Matina! It sounds like you have Origin set to install in a different location.

Go to Application Settings from the Origin menu and check to see where it is installing. That should tell you where your game files are. It would reappear if you moved the screen slightly, but it would do this every time. That resulted in the game crashing instantly, so I had to uninstall and reinstall the game 3 times.

I then just installed the 4GB patch only. The game started just fine this time, but the flashing was still there. I am not sure where to go from here. Can you help? Hi Mary! Everything I know about getting the game to work in Windows 10 is in this post. Are you using an Nvidia Graphics card?

Thank you so much for the help! It worked! I got a question though, how do I manage to download the expansion packs now? Installation will now terminate. I would recommend using the discs. And if you are using the discs, you may need to patch the game. Hi Kendall! The path to find your.

I thought it was because of some new mods. None of the neighborhoods could be launched. I tried all of yours methods and the others.

Everything I did correctly but still there is nothing. Do You have any ideas what could help? Hi Karolina! If you have the Ultimate Collection, my first suggestion would be to repair the game through Origin. Then run the game and allow a new Sims 2 Folder to be generated.

Manual deleting files helped! Thank You so much! Hi Gracie! I tried to use your last tip the D9VK , every time I paste all six files and click to enter the game, open the origin application, try to enter the application too and nothing. When I took them out, the game opened, do you have any idea what it might be? That could be it. I will add this to the post too. I searched for so long… gave up on everything…. And it worked. Im so happy….

I love you from all of my heart. May any God bless you with all his love. Thanks for your blog. I have a question. I applied the fix, but I noticed a difference between my log and the log you posted. Hi Tanya. This is absolutely everything I know about how to get it to work.

Make sure you try applying tghe patch on the desktop. Oh, Cindy! How I wish I knew about this post so long ago! I have been trying to play sims 2 for AGES on my win Although I think the sims 3 and 4 have their points, there is just no other game I love to play as much — and I definitely did not want to lose all the stories from the neighborhoods I had developed along the years.

It was so helpful and clear! My weekends are going to be so much more fun from now on!! Completely empty. Both things have not solved the issues of pink flickering textures all over the place, and crashing constantly. Compatibility mode has done nothing for me either. This is all with the Ultimate Edition on Origin. Any ideas? For reference, I have an RTX ti, i9 k, and 32gb mhz ram.

Of course, this is running on Windows 10 which seems to be the source of all of these problems. I have also tried disabling the shaders in game and while that does make some of the pink textures go away, not all of them do and the sims themselves are still completely pink t-poses. Today, I turned the game on and then took an almost 2 hours nap letting the game run.

Moment I load a lot, it was flashing pink, then crash after leaving to the neighborhood. Thus, I would recommend downgrading your graphic card first and the fix to see if it works. I can use key commands to open Task Manager, where my sims2 game is always not responding. Do you see anything you recognize as the issue? Meh this is so bad; its the CD-Version cause u cant download the game from anywhere anymore … even trying to get an origin copy does not work anymore, cause the support does not give you digital codes anymore.

Hi Dominik. Replace your. Rename Sims2EP9. Copy the new. Apply the patch to the new. This usually fixes the most severe cases when it comes to the disc version. Thats why she uses Windows 7. I had to deinstall the games now. But thank you for your help and advice! Hopefully Sims 5 will be a bit more like Sims 2 or Sims 3; Sims 4 is just a mess in my opinion. I have downloaded the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection, wanted to use the 4 GB Patch and the graphics rules maker … but when i use the.

Thats the Windows 10 bug, right? So the graphic rule maker does not work, the violet glitch still appears and the game crashes still from time to time …. Sooo afterwards i moved the exe-file to the CSBin-Folder. Now the game uses MB Memory, it does not crash anymore. That means i cant use full texture memory and the violet glitch still appears … i dont know what to do anymore. I sadly cant play the game atm. I would move it back to the TS Bin and try patching on the desktop.

You just saved my life!!!! Thank you SO much! Thank you so much. I followed this and my games has never worked so well. It just zips all over the place. So glad I could help! Please make sure you have a direct X9. The application will now terminate. Tried lots of various things including installing DirectX 9 libraries drivers are fully updated and the version of DirectX is Still getting the same issue. Tried solutions described in your article with no apparent result.

Hi Arthur! Thanks for your help. If I try to add some lines to that document and run the game it gives me the same DirectX 9. Good luck to you! Hi Martyna! You should still be able to play, but you might run out of memory and get crashes. Hi Ewelina! Everything I know about applying the patch is in this article. Since you have the disc version, you might need to move the. I did this deskop method and nothing change. Hi Isabel! Everything I know about how to fix it is in this article.

Dragging the icon to the desktop and then applying the patch there should work. You can try asking for help on the Leefish Forums. Hi Winter! But in my experience, most of the graphical issues people experience with The Sims 2 on modern computers can be corrected by applying the 4GB patch and using the graphics rules maker. I downloaded the first mod and it worked pretty good!

I was wondering if you knew how to uninstall it? Hi Chelsea! Does the game just not load or what exactly happens? You might just need to delete your cache files. Deleting the cache files fixed it! Thank you Cindy! Yes it was saying there was an issue with the graphics card after I had downloaded the graphics rules maker. I think once I installed the 4GB Patch it broke my game, whenever I try to launch the game it says it needs permission and I say yes, origin pops up and loads but then it asks for permission again, I say yes, and nothing happens.

Hi Danny! This could be because you have permissions on your. Do you normally try to run your game as an administrator? If so, try removing this and any compatibility mode you have set. Please help me! The garden can be accessed through a gateway in the Omiscan Royal Baths, but it is not always accesible. It contains Selvadoradian plants and a treasure chest near the staircase. The lagoon can be accessed from Area 2, but it is not always accesible. It features a lake with a fishing spot, dig sites and a treasure chest.

The island can be accessed from Area 2, but it is not always accesible. There is a fishing spot where Sims can find species of fish only found in Selvadorada. There is also a treasure chest in the center of the island. The temple is always accessible from Area 2. It is a unique lot that changes its layout every time it is visited. The temple consists of various rooms filled with various puzzles and traps , treasure chests, dig sites.

If Sims can pass through the temple defense, they can find the grand treasure in the middle of the temple. Sometimes a skeleton appears inside the temple. The Jungle District is a very open and big map. Most of it consists of jungle and the ruins of the Omiscan civilization. It also has two bodies of water where Sims can fish for local Selvadoradian fish. Most of the areas are limited only by gateways.

They are not seperated into lots. This allows Sims to traverse between areas without loading screens. Because the map is large and takes a long time to explore, it can be difficult to take care of needs while exploring, although the trees, fishing spots, and toilet bushes can help Sims fulfill some of their needs.
