October The installation on apartment life goes fine until it has me insert the 4th sims 2 cd to check if it has to update. After it does that something goes wrong every time and it terminates the installation.
I've only tried this on my computer and not my laptop. Does anyone have a solution? Go to Solution. ThePinkLov , it has to do with Windows 10 not allowing certain updates through.
If you check Leefish's forum, they should have the solution to bypass this and allow the game to install. View in thread. You need a special patch for the game to access 4GB in Windows Find the log file that looks like the one above. It will be the name of your computer followed by -config-log.

Recently a Patron of mine was having trouble getting the 4GB patch to apply. We tried literally everything I could think of and her memory would not change in the Config Log. I have had several comments and emails about this too. Drag the. Check your log file to make sure it applied.

I have no idea why this is necessary for some computers and not others. If nothing else works, try this! Make a backup of your folders before you do this in case you screw something up. I warned you. Also, please note if you have the Ultimate Collection this will not work for you!
The patch will automatically apply to the TSBin. Cut and paste the Sims2EP9. The CSBin directory is shown above. Everyone using Windows 10 to play The Sims 2 should use the graphics rules maker.

I have no idea what to do to try and fix this issue. This is usually because you need to delete your cache files. Hope it works for you! This week I tried everything people had posted about and at first the game was Crashing on load, then when I finally was getting it to load it was taking about 17 minutes just to open the main menu even with the 4GB patch , Then it was crashing in the load neighborhood menu and when I FINALLY got it to load the children were Neon pink.
You probably need to change your resolution in the game settings. Go to the graphics settings in-game and choose a bigger resolution. Also, make sure you used graphics rules maker so a bigger resolution is possible with your graphics card. Hope that helps! Thank you so much! Hi Bree! Hi Cindy! I just wanted to stop by and say that I recently found you after researching issues with the game. I had to replace my video card and my game was NOT working properly.
I personally cannot thank you enough for all you do in your blogs and videos. I really like all the work you did, and it worked, but only once…. I did all the steps, played for a while, saved, quit and then tried again with no luck…. I tried repeating the last part, but it did nothing…. I wanted to share the fix that worked for me, since I continued to have issues getting the 4GB patch to actually register with my game despite getting the success message.
Thank you! Your instructions were easy to follow and I was able to apply with no issues. I was just putting up with the not too often crashed until this weekend when I made a huge shopping center lot and I guess I had to to much in it and it would crash every time. That can happen with really large lots that have a lot of items! I love making big lots and sometimes I have to reign myself in. Just got the Sims 2 and I knew exactly where to go to find out how to get it working.
So weird to be playing it for the first time in 10 years lol. Hey cindy, sorry to be a pain but I was really wondering what pc you have to play the sims 2 on? Love the videos! I am autistic and this game is tremendously important to me and I was going crazy not being able to run it on windows Hey Cindy! I found this thread because I was able to find my charger for my super old laptop that still works and currently The Sims 2 works on it works completely fine but I wanted to update to Windows 10 so I can use this laptop to play other games as well as The Sims.
However after reading all the steps, I realized my laptop only had 3GB of Ram with 2. Do you think these steps will work in my situation? Thank you for your time! Hi, getting any help with getting the game to work would be very much appreciated.
I had the game working for quite some time, but I needed to repair the game from Origin because it was saying some of the files had disappeared and it was no longer launching. The 4gb patch has applied, afaik. I installed the patch and it worked I used to have the pink glitch in the neighborhood view and in-game. Following all of this I can now play! This was a life saver! All the other steps should be the same. Nor a folder called x Sorry, could you please help?
Not all the warnings are up front. Hey Cindy, so I do not really know if my settings are now correct. After applying the 4gb patch my memory ist constantly at , but my free memory is switching around after I opened and played the game. It is still pretty high and switches between and , but it is not constantly at and that concerns me a little bit.
I also already tried moving the. Before I mess more with my game I wanted to know if I actually need to or if my memory is fine that way. If you could help me with this I would be more than gratefull!
Cindy, you saved me! I was using different patch, different methods but yours helped me! Now I can play without crashing! Hey Cindy, thank you for this fix! Feel free to join the Discord and ask in our help channel. Live Mode i guess i can deal with lol but creating a new Sim is near impossible without a bad headache right after…. It always worked just fine for me, even after the Windows 10 upgrade, but one day it just randomly stopped working? This chapter does not represent the….
Oh right I have a thing I've been doing every single day this…. Anonymous comments are disabled in this journal. Your IP address will be recorded. Log in No account? Create an account. Remember me.

Hey guys, technically this crash happens in the University part of the game, but since I've installed all expansions except free time I thought I might as well create this topic here. I think the save of one of my households in University got corrupted. It crashes every time it tries to load that particular household and lot. I've gone onto another lot and have been able to load it, AND been able to invite over the sims from the crashing lot without problems.
So, whatever seems to be the problem is in the lot itself. What I wanna know is, is there any way for me to take the Sims themselves out of that crashing lot?
I can't have the other University sim propose that they move in, right? Just for your information, the crashing lot is a dorm lot. So, yeah, any 'cheats' or tools available that would allow me to move that household out of that dorm lot and into another lot? Jeni 13 years ago 2. Did you try using the Move Sims button in the neighbourhood view to move the Sims out of the lot, or does that crash the game, too? If it works, they'll be moved into the Sim Bin, and can be moved into any lot they can afford from there.
If it crashes, you should have no problem having a Sim at university, of course ask a Sim in the crashing household to move in, bringing the rest of the Sims with him or her, as long as they are best friends and the lot has enough room for everyone - no cheats or hacks necessary. If you don't want them to all live together you can have one Sim Find Own Place and bring the rest with him or her. If for some reason that won't work, if you invite the Sims over you can use the cheat addneighbortofamilycheat on and click on each Sim to add them to the household.
Oh yeah! I forgot all about that button Ah well, thanks! I tried it and it works.
