It's awesome that people made these mods so themselves and others can still play these games for years to come. While adding some QOL stuff like the resolution changes for modern sized screens it's a simple thing to forget adjust but when you do it's noticeable.

@WilliamMullaney Жыл бұрын

oh yeah! MTS2 has daily uploads of new mods and cc for the sims 2, even porting items from sims 3 and 4 into 2

Thanks so much! My sims 2 now runs perfectly and I can play again :D love your style of videos as well - I would love to see some more sims 2 content from you. I’m not sure if you play much of the sims 3 but a lot of simmers are having issues with getting it to run on the EA app (for me it’s a constant loop opening the launcher and then the EA app) I’ve heard some people on forums taking about the ‘alder lake patch’ but I can’t find any clear instructions on how to install this… just thought I’d let you know :)

@WilliamMullaney 7 ай бұрын

ohh yeah so alder lake i believe is 12th gen intel (could be wrong im drunk af rn lmao) so there could be an issue to do with that, Im not certain as i don’t play sims 3 but have been recommended it a lot! so i outta try it and see if i can find problems withit to fix hahaha

Didn't work for me at the 4gb patch. The folder don't have seperate folder for the pack in my case. and I couln't select the tsbin at all... Maybe I am just dumb as it seems to be working fine for everyone else. Thanks for the video it still helped understand a few things.

hi! im not sure if it's the same problem but i ran into something similar to you, but i hope i can help (if you still have this issue) for some reason, my SP9 folder (garden & mansion pack) was in the "Fun With Pets" folder along with another pack as well. but if you go into that one, it should have the SP9 folder in there, and the TSBin one in that one !

Heey! Your vibe is everything 😎 Thank you for this, it's really helpful. But what worked for me (at least at the beginning, let's see when I'm 4 hours straight playing the game) is using the d3d9.dll from x32 folder, the one inside the x64 didn't do anything... Everything about this game is a fucking mystery you know 😂 You gained a new sub! I hope to see more The Sims 2 videos whether it be on pc or ps2 or even psp 💕

@WilliamMullaney 11 ай бұрын

Ah okay that's not what I expected hahah. I tried x32/86 first cause that's what architecture was used when sims 2 released but x32 didnt work while x64 did. Maybe it's to do with ur OS? Are you on Win10 or something else?
