the sims ps2 not working [ Edited ]

[thatoneloser16]

i got the sims for the ps2 and it doesn't seem to work. its not scratched and its not the ps2, other games work fine. the sims just works when it wants and i dont know how i get it to work sometimes. the disc is blue so maybe my model has a hard time reading them but i don't know.

@thatoneloser16 , we'll need some more information before trying to help you. Can you please answer the following questions:

1) Which version of a Playstation are you trying to play the game on? PS2, PS3 or PS4?

2) If playing on a PS3, does it have the PS2 cross compatibility enabled? 

Thank you.

oh my god im sorry. i really need to proof read my stuff LOL. yes it is a ps2 and its the fat model. it only works some times.

@thatoneloser16 , no problem. I just wanted to make sure we were all on the same page. It could be that the laser reader may be out of alignment and may need to be adjusted. (Had an old CD player that happened to and once it was fixed it was right as rain). You would need to look up someone in your area who fixes electronics that has a good reputation. Can you play your other games ok on your PS2?

Just trying to think of what could be causing it to not play other than the disk itself.

yeah my other games work just not sims

@thatoneloser16 , it might be the disk. Trying to think of other things to do and try.

@thatoneloser16 , found this information while helping another player. Have you tried a CD/DVD lens cleaner? It cleans the laser reader in the disk drive. I just looked on Amazon and they are not expensive. Try that and let me know.

I'm having the same issue. Did that solution work?

[Tremayne4260]

@Elegancy1 , I am not sure. The OP has not reported back if it worked.
