@Supriti , are you trying to install Sims 2 Ultimate Collection? Or did you have all the previous Sims 2 EPs/SPs registered and on Origin before October 2018? Please give us more details so we can help you.

@Supriti , so are you trying to register on Origin or are you running Origin at the same time you are trying to install the game?

@Supriti Since you've mentioned specifically FreeTime and Apartment Life, I believe I know which error you're getting. Does it say that an app has been blocked for your protection?

Digital signatures for those packs (and other packs released in 2008 as well) have expired so they will get blocked if you try to install them. This also includes the patches. 

 

To bypass this error, please follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated Command Prompt or Powershell. To do this, press the Windows key X, and select Command Prompt (Admin) or Windows Powershell (Admin), whichever shows up in the menu. Either is fine, just remember which one it is.
  2. When it opens, it should say this: C:\WINDOWS\system32>. Type in the drive letter (the one your disk is in) with a colon to switch to it, then press Enter, e.g. D: or E:, etc. then Enter.
  3. The location should switch from C:\Windows\system32 to the drive you entered. If you are doing this in Command Prompt, type in Autorun.exe and press Enter. If it is in Powershell, type in .\Autorun.exe and press Enter. The installer should open without throwing an error.
