No cd for sims 2 freetime

Thank you again!! View in thread. This will protect your saved games, CC, mods and allow you to uninstall and reinstall everything safely without fear of losing your progress so far. The next thing we need to do is uninstall the game. I know pain the rear, but to install everything properly you need to install everything in release order.

With newer games it doesn't matter, but considering Sims 2 is an older title, you need to install everything in release order. So you start with Base Game and add everything in the order listed below.

A couple of other things to note. A Google search will take you to Leefish's forums. Make a copy of your original GraphicsRule. Once you successfully edit your GraphicsRule.

The 4GB patch gives your game some more breathing room on memory usage and instructions on how to apply that step by step can be found in a YouTube video which is found by searching for 4GB patch Sims 2. Our next steps are to install the game. If you are running them off of disks, sometimes Windows 10 doesn't like older games so here are some instructions on how to successfully install the game from the disks.

Label them "Disk2," "Disk3" and "Disk4. If the autorun comes up, cancel it as well as the installation. Go to the "Edit" tab and select "Paste. Continue until you've copied and pasted the information from all the disks into their appropriate folders. This should install the game as normal. When you are finished, you can delete the "Disk Images" folder or the contents. If you encounter any file transfer errors when copying and pasting, try cleaning your disk.

If that fails, your disk is either scratched or corrupted. Do this with the Base Game first. Apply the 4GB patch and GraphicsRule. Remember that none of your saved games, CC or mods will be present. Start a new game and play for about an hour just to insure that everything works correctly. I understand that this process will take several hours to complete, but in the long run you'll have everything working again. Please keep me updated and once the game works again, I'll help you transfer your saved games back into the game.

Oh my gosh, thank you for your reply! I honestly thought it was going to take a few days to hear anything, so getting an answer especially one so comprehensive is amazing! For instance, I was able to install all the expansion packs quiet easily the first time around so is the method you suggest with renaming discs necessary? Just because when I read it, I became very lost after 'insert sims 2'.

Thanks again, I know you don't work for EA but the fact that you seem to know so much about all this is just amazing. I wish I knew more about this sort of stuff, but honestly I am just a install and pray kind of person XD. FlyingFinny , I'm not sure what version of Windows you are playing on, but sometimes, Windows 10 doesn't like to install older games from disks due to protocols within the Operating system.

If you are running on an older computer with Windows XP or 7, you might just be able to insert the disks and install the game as normal. I'm not a major techie either. But if you print out a copy of the instructions and go step by step one at a time, you should be able to install the game. Nekoboy69 , you can buy an external CD drive for you computer. I have a Mac and bought an external CD drive for mine. They aren't too expensive if you want to look into one. Sims 1 does work on Windows 7 to my knowledge as a couple of people here have gotten it to work.
