You can't load Uni, Vacation or Downtown hoods - do you have any icons at all on the upper left hand side in hood view?ģ. It recognises EP7 which is Freetime it doesn't have a sub-hood, although it does have secret lots. not being able to add those sub-hoods means that although you have added the expansion packs, your game is not acknowledging them so for all intents and purposes you might as well not have installed them. Can you link me to the forum and post where you got the files to allow you to install the expansion packs - it sounds like there may be a problem with them. The ones you've currently got in there don't allow for the texture fix which is what you are missing.Ģ.

I've been trying to get The Sims 2 to work for a good 10 hours, and I am pulling my hair out. I am so sorry if I am missing something painfully obvious, or if I have given you too much or not enough information. I suspect I downloaded the wrong choice, but I have no idea which one I should be downloading. I did try downloading the WinRar you suggested to Jazziey9 but it still did not give me the option to extract the files and the game is still crashing. I have downloaded the 2 files that you recommended at the beginning of this forum to the right location (I think, I am not super tech-savvy), but it does not give me the option to extract the files. I can live with this issue, but a fix would be nice!) Once entering CAS, it goes to the loading screen and then crashes. The option to add those extras in the top left hand side of the screen is missing. Everything loads fine and I am able to enter neighborhoods (Although I am not able to add vacation locations, universities, or downtown areas even though Bon Voyage, University, and Night Life are all installed. This allowed me to install all of the expansion packs that I own.

I downloaded new files from a forum online and replaced the original files with those. I had no trouble downloading or playing the original Sims 2 games, but the expansion packs would not install because they would crash when trying to update the game. I have an original disk of the base game as well as the expansion packs (I did not download them from Origin like Jazziey9 ). I am operating with Windows 10 on my laptop and am trying to play The Sims 2. Hi celebkiriedhel, I am having the same issue and was wondering if you could help me!

No problem sims 2 expansion packs
