How to play on Windows

  1. Make sure you have uninstalled all older versions of The Sims 2 games, including registry entries, and make sure there is no “EA Games” folder in your Documents folder (if you do then delete it). Also make sure that you disable your antivirus before installing the game.
  2. Click on the download button and download The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection.rar
  3. Extract the “The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection” folder to your desktop. If you don’t know how to extract files, see this article: https://oldgamesdownload.com/wiki/install-games-on-windows/
  4. Open the folder called “Game Files” found inside of the extracted folder and double click on the Setup.exe file. Click on install and wait for the game to finish installing.
  5. Go into the Redist folder and install “dxwebsetup.exe” by double clicking on it and going through the setup.
  6. There will now be a Sims 2 icon on your desktop! Right click it and select run as administrator to run the game (always run the game as an administrator).
  7. Enjoy the game!

Installation notes:

  • This is a repack of The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection and includes almost all game’s expansion and stuff packs (important: a few packs are missing such as IKEA Home Stuff. You can download and install these packs separately.)
  • The first time you open the game, it will take some time to start and you might see a black screen for a while. It will also skip the intro video, please be patient, next time it will launch quickly!
  • Change ‘Shadows’ from high to either low or medium through the ingame graphics options , otherwise a black square will appear underneath your Sims instead of indoor shadows…
  • If you can’t change the resolution of the game from 800×600 to another, read ‘Resolution change.txt’ textfile provided in the “Game Files” folder. If they are asking you for administrator permission, then move the file to your desktop, make the changes and then drag it back to its original folder.

  1. I’ve installed it without any problems but i cannot change the resolution. in the instructions it says “Open the folder where u have installed Sims 2 Ultimate Collection. Open ‘The Sims 2 Mansion and Garden Stuff’ folder present in it.” but there is literally no The Sims 2 Mansion and Garden Stuff folder on my pc. Can anybody help in some way?

    • I’m not exactly sure where to find it. But I remember a website with a list to make the game “better” and there’s a step by step on how to fix that!

  2. Downloaded everything like usual all the way through step five, but after installing “dxwebsetup.exe” no Sims 2 icon shows up on my desktop. Is there a way to remedy this? Thanks!

  3. Bonjour, pour ma part le fichier The Sims 2 Mansion and Garden Stuff n’existe pas dans les fichiers du jeu donc je ne peux absolument pas changer la résolution, j’ai beau chercher et rechercher, c’est introuvable. Cela veut-il dire que le jeu serait incomplet ?

  4. Hello, could you please advise which expansion packs aren’t included? I’d like to download them separately.

    Thank you for putting this together!!

    • Download “everything” from voidtools. You can install portable version, search for “sims 2” and delete. If you grab the portable version you can just delete it after use and it will leave no trace on your computer 🙂
