Once all your disks are copied, open the disk1 folder and let’s start installing! You need to double click the Autorun.exeħ. CD 2 is copied into the disk2 folder, CD 3 into the disk3 folder etc.Ħ. I have 4 CD’s in my box to copy over and it should look like this. Once it’s copied we repeat this until all the CD’s are on your hard drive. This will copy everything from The Sims 2 CD 1 into the disk1 folder. Open the other window that had our disk1 folder in it and click into the disk1 folder and paste. Highlight all the files (either by dragging your mouse over all of them, or ctrl + a) and copy them.Ĥ. Now pop your The Sims 2 CD 1 into the drive and open a second window to explore it. Inside the newly created Disk Images folder create a new folder and call it disk1.ģ. To start with open your C Drive and create a new folder called Disk Images.Ģ. You can install it from here to any other drive. The files used to actually install the game need to be copied onto your C Drive. This is explained at the end of the guide.ġ. You can run The Sims 2 in a window even with Windows 8 or 8.1.If you do have ones you would like to keep, move the saved games somewhere safe! This guide assumes you want a completely fresh install and have no saved games etc.I have only tried to install this using the CD’s - not sure if it works with Origin downloads or not.Please name any created folders exactly as I have done, I learnt the long way that it has to be exact.For example C:\Program Files and not C:\Program Files (x86).
It needs to be in the Program Files Folder and not Program Files (x86). It looks like a lot to do but once you’ve done it for one disk it’s really pretty easy. To actually see the images - right click them and view image, Tumblr won’t show them at a readable size on the dashboard due to this being a text post >.< I used these really easy, helpful Youtube video's (3 parts) to help me and am just writing this out to help. I have seen a few folks struggling to install The Sims 2 on Windows 8 or 8.1 and figured I’d write out how I finally got it working in case it helped someone.
