Having issues with the following- windows 8

★★ Novice

I have been trying to load into a university family lot on two or three different campuses. When It gets fully Loaded it says that it crashed and now it will terminate! I got the Sims 2 Ultimate edition during the free download and now I cant even play it even though i REALLY want to! HELP PLEASE!!!!

 

Thank you

Can you try to turn on the Compatibility Mode ? 

 

Right click on the Sims 2 and click properties. Then go to the compatibility tab and check the box named 'compatibility mode' then set the drop down menu under it to Windows XP (service pack 3). (Tip by rowbocool)

You don't have the tab ? Are you selecting the link to The Sims 2 from your desktop ?

It was a shortcut from the Pack. I even go into the actual link from the actual folder and there is no thing there. The link I have is:

 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSBin\Sims2EP9.exe"

Can you make a screenshot of your Proprieties window to see what's wrong with it ?

That's a bit strange... I don't really know what to tell you. I will ask the other heroes.

Really weird.

 

Try deleting the shortcut and create a new one.
