So I posted this a few days ago but then this site went down so I guess it didn't actually post. About a year or so ago I tried playing The Sims 2 on my computer and of course realized it didn't work on Windows 10 and wen through the whole process of getting it to work by watching videos and downloading the 4g patch and all that. Now I have a new gaming PC and wanted to play some Sims 2 again so I installed all the expansion packs, watched this video called "A Complete Guide on how to Fix & Optimize The Sims 2 on Windows 10/11" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iWlvY4NH6M and followed the steps and my game still will not work.
I am have the physical discs of the game so that's how I installed it. I have The sims 2 and the expansion packs University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons and Bon Voyage. I then tried to install the Home and Garden stuff pack online so I could install the Lazy Duchess mod https://lazyduchess.tumblr.com/post/6319...on-garden. (EDIT: I installed the George thing too, I forgot to say that).
When I try to start the game either by using the Bon Voyage disc or by clicking on the garden and mansion icon I get the Sims Launcher and then a black screen and then a window with a red x and no text, just an okay button. (I included a picture of it). Please someone help me play The Sims 2 again!
