Administrators MissionMouse Posted December 29, 2019 Administrators Share Posted December 29, 2019 I have to re-download Sims 2 Ultimate Collection and I honestly have no idea why? It was working yesterday and today it came up on my Origin as saying I had to download it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Rebecah Posted December 29, 2019 Administrators Share Posted December 29, 2019 Do you use a registry cleaner like System Mechanic? It removes important files from the registry because they aren't actually in the Sims Ultimate folders...not sure why but every time I run the registry cleaner it removes them. There are the only registry problems it ever finds for me and I don't let it fix them anymore. Hope this is helpful. I even tried creating files by those names as a text file but still named them .exe and it still removed the registry info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators MissionMouse Posted December 30, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted December 30, 2019 No, I don't use that. The weird thing is that I do clean up my laptop on a regular basis and this has never happened to me before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators MissionMouse Posted December 30, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted December 30, 2019 So yeah, I know I'm supposed to be in bed but I cannot get Sims 2 to run in windowed mode. I add the *space*-w and the game will not resize at all. I need my start menu to show so I can print screen what I need and then access my paint program. The other thing, when I re-downloaded and installed, I had two of every neighbourhood. Something is just not right and I don't know what it is.

Members gayars Posted December 30, 2019 Members Share Posted December 30, 2019 If you have a hacked (no CD) exe origin doesn't recognize the game as being a running copy so wants you to repair it I think? (Don't know, as I don't have origin installed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators MissionMouse Posted December 31, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted December 31, 2019 Nope, don't have a hacked version. I am getting so fed up with this that I just might uninstall this version and go back to installing my discs. I saved all the patches, so if I wind up going this route I'm good to go.

Administrators Rebecah Posted December 31, 2019 Administrators Share Posted December 31, 2019 Rename your folder in your documents the one that is under EA Games: The Sims™ 2 Ultimate Collection What it did was regenerated a new game. You are going to want several folders to copy back over to your The Sims™ 2 Ultimate Collection folder. Like you Downloads, collections, saved sims and maybe a few others. After you rename the The Sims™ 2 Ultimate Collection folder open your game and let it recreate a new game folder then copy over the aforementioned folders. That should fix everything. If not let me know.....but please get some rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Rebecah Posted December 31, 2019 Administrators Share Posted December 31, 2019 I forgot "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSBin\Sims2EP9.exe" -W is what I have under my Sims 2 shortcut on my desktop and I start the game from that icon.

Administrators Rebecah Posted December 31, 2019 Administrators Share Posted December 31, 2019 I forgot that you will want your original neighborhoods too, if you can tell which folders they are you''ll want to copy those over too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators MissionMouse Posted December 31, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted December 31, 2019 I tried the -w and that won't work on this version of whatever..... As for the original neighbourhoods, I never once played them and didn't have them when I was playing. I did learn something, I can still *Print Screen* from my laptop. then I just tap the window button on my keyboard and the game disappears but I can access my paint program. Then all I have to do to get the game back is tap that key again. I will go into my files and take a couple of pictures and show you what I have, it's not what you have.
