How to make The Sims 2 Work in Windows 8It looks as if the Sims 2 don't work to a lot of People. It mostly crashes during creating the Family or in gameplay.It was the same for me but with the help of marshabruenig and Mootilda it finally worked for me and I want to share the solution for meWHAT YOU WILL NEED. All of your Sims CDs/DVDs. All Sims Patches (Can be found ). Grumpy Loader (Can be found ). A lot of nerves and chocolate ^^. The right Hardware!

• Sims 2 Patches
• Grumpy Loader Download
• Grumpy Loader Sims 2

(Mostly Intel HD Graphic Cards do not work with the Sims nd they are in most of the new Laptops! I asked my Computer shop if the computer I am about to buy is compatible with the Sims 2)WHAT TO DO.

Sims 2 Patches

Save all of your Downloads, Neighbourhoods and all the other stuff you want to keep. Uninstall all your Sims 2 EP's and the base game.

Restart your PC (I am not sure if it is needed but I did it). place your games in the right order next to your PC (it is easier this way)Here is the order that The Sims 2 HAVE TO BE installed in. So if you're stating to 'uninstall' the game. I'm guessing this applies also when upgrading your OS. If so, this is just the right tutorial for me!

I recently decided to try win8 as it appears to work lightly on ram capacity. However, when I try to run TS2 it just lag!

I refuse to give up my game even if it means reinstalling it, re-pathching it. Installing clean templates again and fixes. Uff, a long way to go. However, there seem to be hope at the sight and I wanted to thank you for it! Thank you for this tutorial!

And your all your wonderful advice. So what am I supposed to do if I only have one graphics card? I can't change it I don't know how and I don't have the means to buy a different one even if I did.

And the only computer I have that can run sims 2 is a pos that over heats every two minutes with a fried battery and a dvd tray that the laptop is convinced does not exist. But my new laptop which was a christmas present has Intel HD Graphics which this says is incompatible with sims 2 TT I want to play my game so bad and while it will install fine it crashes every single time I try to create a sim or load a pre-made sim with the sole exception of Don Lothario, it loads his house but crashes whenever I try to make him cook.

Uff, a long way to go. However, there seem to be hope at the sight and I wanted to thank you for it! Thank you for this tutorial! And your all your wonderful advice.It definitely IS a long way. I had to refresh my Laptop because I installed Avira Antivir and it destroyed my whole Windows 8. I even installed and skipped the 'trying if it works after installing 3 EPs' Step and it still worked. If you know How to do it, then it is the easiest thing ever.

The Sims 2 work on this Laptop even more fluent than on my old one and the graphics are ahahahamazing ^^. So what am I supposed to do if I only have one graphics card?

It is definitely the fault of the card, but I am not a expert. Normally I am VERY bad at all the technical stuff and it was a wonder that I mentioned to make my Sims 2 work (Halleuja!).

QUOTE=IavasechuiSo what am I supposed to do if I only have one graphics card?QUOTEI am in the same situation. I followed the guide and installed as directed, and I still can't play because of my video card. It really makes me mad because I was looking at a different computer, and he was like. Oh no get this one. Do you play games? Because it is perfect for gaming.

Not the one particular game I play.I feel so sorry for you I wish I could help. The thing is: Intel HD Graphics work awesome for new games (like newest Sims 3 and so on) but (let me repeat it) If you want to play the Sims 2 don't let ANYONE impose you a Intel HD Graphics. You can not play the Sims with it!WHAT I DID:When I bought my Laptop I took my Sims 2 with me and asked the seller: 'can I play this with the Laptop' and he checked it and even inserted the game in the Laptop to check if installing was possible. He told me if it does not work tho I could bring it back and get another Laptop. I really want to hug that seller so badly because he helped me a lot.I am so happy about every single one I could help with this, because I refuse to let them pressure me by not releasing a new patch to make me buy The Sims 3. I spent 400 $ for all my Sims 2 gamesbtw: I am sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes, but English is only my second language (out of 4)Lots of love, Kay.

Would it be better to stick to Windows 7 then? Seems like you need to jump through too many hoops if it causes a problem and I love my Sims.Asking cause I have the option of going either Win 7 or 8 when I buy a new laptop.I can't tell you because I have no experience with windows 7, but I know, that the Sims 'should' work with Windows 7 but like I said: the most important is the Graphic card: No Intel HD Graphic Card! Even if the Seller tries to sell you one of these Laptops.I have a Asus F75VD-TY236H with a Nvida Geforce 610 mb Graphic Card and on mine it works. It seems to work with Nvida Graphic Cards in general as well and if you have a working Graphic Card it is really easy as long as you set the compatibility on Windows XP SP2 like I described. My game did not even crashed once yesterday and I played 5 hours of the Sims including: creating a Family with 7 people and buying a house for themSo I think it is mostly about if you get along with Windows 8 in general because: sure you have the normal Desktop but you also have the tiled desktop. I love it a lot because I find the tiles very lucid, because they show me a lot of information like weather and News at once.

Sure it takes a bit to get used to it (it took me around 2 days) but it works fluent and if you have Problems you don't have to immediately reset everything and loose your complete Data because with 'refresh PC' you can refresh the System but save the Data (including Sims 2 Downloads and neighborhoods and the Apps you have on your tiled Desktop). This is what I find very useful.Sadly I can not tell you how Windows 7 is because the only thing I heard was 'It is a better version of Windows Vista'. I changed from Windows Vista to Windows 8 and I am very very happy with it.

(SKYUI: skse error code 1)I'm Window 10 user, I followed this step:(+) Start the game with steam, and close1. Download the newest version of SKSE64 (for SE) in- SKSE64 version 2.0.7,- Skyrim Special Edition version 1.5.39.0 (checked SkyrimSE.exe)2.

Grumpy Loader Sims 2

Extracted with 7zip3. Copy and paste all files correctly- skse641539.dll / skse64steamloader.dll / skse64loader.exe in A:SteamLibrarysteamappscommonSkyrim Special Edition- all.pex files in A:SteamLibrarysteamappscommonSkyrim Special EditionDataScripts- I tried this step with and without src folder and Source folder4. Run skse64loader.exe as an administrator5. Press ` key and type getskseversion6. Result: Script command 'getskseversion' not found7. Delete the game and SKSE648. Reinstall the game9.

Copy and paste.dll and.exe file to A:SteamLibrarysteamappscommonSkyrim Special Edition10. Zip Data folder of SKSE64, and add to Mod Organizer 2 (Like Gopher's Youtube)11.

Start skse64loader.exe with Mod Organizer 2 (as an administrator, both SKSE64 and MO2)12. Nothing changedI think I did my best, but SKSE64 reject me.Can someone help me?(+) I'm Korean, so my User folder is named in Korean. My Games folder is in this folder. So I made new window account, User folder is named in English. Nothing Changed.(+) I tried install game in D:Steam(.) and install SKSE64, Failed.(+) Add Anti-Virus exception.

Nothing changed. Originally posted by:Well, it does look like you are doing everything right. Does LOOT detect SKSE? No, LOOT detect only 5 files.

(Skyrim.esm / Update.esm / Dawnguard.esm / HearthFires.esm / Dragonborn.esm)I don't know about LOOT, I installed it one minute ago. There's something problem?+ I think LOOT can't detect mods in MO2, I installed many mods through MO2 but only 5 files detected. BUT I didn't install SKSE64 through MO2 now.you need to install SKSE outside of MO but you need to start SKSE within MO if you wanna play, same counts for LOOT, SSEDIT, or other stuff you need.EDIT: on the top bar click on the 2 gearwheels and add the SKSE64 executable, and start this way. Originally posted by:no no. you install SKSE64 normally like you did explained in the start post. but you need to click the gear symbol in the MO2 toolbar to add the executable to the dropdown menu in the upper right part of MO.

Directly right of this dropdown menu is the RUN button. basically the same way how you would run LOOT through MO, just with the SKSE64 exeSorry, I delete my last comment because LOOT detect SKSE64 well with your guidance. LOOT say 'Your SKSE64 is up-to-date.' So, I install SKSE64 nomarlly, and add SKSE64 to MO2 with gear symbol, and Run. Nothing changed.
