    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.

    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 😂

    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 :)

So, I have no other 'Game Packs" so I can't move the graphic content anywhere. I'm also unable to locate Sims2Ep9 unless I right click on the Sims 2 and I'm unable to locate the Sims 2 TSB Bin & TSB Data. I'm so puzzled.

      @WilliamMullaney  5 месяцев назад

      Hey so I'll try to help you as best I can!
      If you right click on The Sims 2 icon on your desktop and click "open file location" It *should take you to the TSBin folder of The Sims 2 Mansion and Garden Stuff.
      From there, if you look in the address at the top of your file explorer, it should look something similar to this:
      This PC>(C: or whatever drive you downloaded it to)>The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection>The Sims 2 Mansion and Garden Stuff>TSBin
      If you click on "The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection" It should show you a list of folders with ALL the DLC you have downloaded.
      If it doesnt show certain DLC then it's because either they werent downloaded or they failed to download for whatever reason
      Hope this helps you! I know how frustrating it can be- Let me know if you need more help :)

    Hey, as a deaf viewer, I'm unable to follow the instructions in this video without subtitles or transcripts. Could you please add them? It would be immensely helpful for me to fix The Sims 2 Pink Flashing and Crashing. Thank you!
