How to get The Sims 2 Running on Windows 10: 100% Working

How to get The Sims 2 Running on Windows 10: 100% Working - By Hannah Flynn

Hey guys, remember about 8 months ago I made a tutorial showing people how to run The Sims 2 on Windows 10, well you guys seem to give me feedback and some of you were complaining about my microphone. Well guys I decided to make a new and improved version to my original with a new microphone that I got a few months ago and as well I decided to make one for today because 12 years ago The Sims 2 would have been released to PC and you know I want to help people get this game running on Windows 10 so why not celebrate this anniversary with a tutorial showing you how to run the game on Windows 10. Though I don't show any game play in this video, though however I have a Sims 2 series running at the moment on my channel so if you want to see some gameplay, I highly reconmend you check out that Let's Play: youtube.com/watch?v=16ie0qBQ5qU&index=1&…

Here's what you need:
Note: If you own the Ulitmate Collection, you will only have to instaill the graphics rule and modify you screen resilution. Any other things I do in this tutorial are only for the hard copy only so I recommend you skip forward to 7:32. Also note that I may have not of got the directry right. If anyone knows, please leave me a comment and I will anotated for anyone who owns the Ulitimate Collection.

If you own the hard copy, you will need of course the patches to patch your game. I recommend you download them from Mod The Sims as there is still a vastly large Sims 2 community out there and if you do run into some issues, you can put the thread on the fourms for help and they do have a guide on instialling them you don't know how to instiall them: modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS2_Pa…

Also, if the solution in this video doesn't seem to work for you and somehow you get an error, I have found an alternitive solution to that issue. Though i didn't needed to do this, some of you were having this issue so I may as well try and help as well and leave you with the link. Here's the link for the alternitive method: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/games…
Here's the link to the graphics rule, ignore the thing saying there's another thread for Windows 10, I have tested this and I can insure you that this works on Windows 10 and if you need help, it does have a guide if your having issues such the black square shadowing issue: leefish.nl/mybb/showthread.php?tid=5446
