FASTEST AND EASIEST WAY TO INSTALL THE SIMS 2 ULTIMATE COLLECTION FOR FREE ON WINDOWS 10&11 (2024)
In this video, I show you how to install The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection for free. This version of Ultimate Collection doesn't include The IKEA HomeStuff Pack. I've made a short and simple tutorial to add The IKEA pack to your game and another beginner-friendly tutorial to help you get some essential mods, cc, and defaults. They're both linked below! Anyway, I hope this video was helpful. Thank you for watching! :)
!IMPORTANT!
1. If I don't respond to your comment, there is a chance that someone had the same problem and I responded to it or I don't have the answer to it.
2. If you plug someone else's channel, you'll be removed or blocked. It's a very scummy thing to do.
3. This video shows you how to INSTALL the game for free not fix it. So, if you're experiencing any problems, you'll find many KZread tutorials that will help you fix your game.
4. The download speed depends on how strong your internet is. I've had it download in under 15 minutes on my first attempt and a whole day on my last.
5. If you get a virus warning then disable your anti-virus. It's normal to get that warning when pirating games. I've installed my game using this method on other devices since 2021 and I haven't noticed anything weird and if I did, I wouldn't have made this video.

Tysm for this tutorial! Ive been wanting to play the other sims games like the sims 2 ever since the sims 4 went free, i got bored of the sims 4 and this vid solved my problem, does this website that you downloaded the sims 2 ultimate collection from have all the sims 3 dlcs? I cant access my pc rn because im not at home and my web browser on my phone keeps on glitching

I’m glad the video helped you and you’re welcome! I believe they only have the Katy Perry expansion pack. I recommend getting the sims 3 base game and dlcs from steam. They usually go on sale from time to time and you won’t have to use the ea app to play. However, you’ll have to read a guide on how to fix it since it doesn’t run on modern pc’s.

When I try to install the game I get "checksum error in the sims 2". I can close it and continue installing, but later It shows "setup needs the next disk. Please specify the location of the next disk. Please insert disc: 1 with setup-2.bin" OK so my only option is local disk C and I click on it. When I click on it, literally nothing happens, I can't do anything, and when I exit it, game crashes and I have to do everything again. I don't know much about computers, what should I do?
Thanks ^^ if I only could use my discs on my laptop (or if they'd only bring it to Steam)

The -w is suppose to help you launch the actual game it self without getting errors. If the game doesn’t show up on broderless gaming, launch the game then open the borderless gaming app OR launch borderless gaming and then launch the game. The borderless gaming app can be a bit finicky at times, you have to work your way around that.

Why did they threaten to sue? lol. I wish that too! I feel like calling this “pirating” is a bit of an exaggeration. It’s not like ea has the game for us on the store, so this isn’t preventing them from earning money. There is no way for you to get the game, unless you want a physical copy which is way overpriced now these days. If ea had the game on their store and it was remastered, I would buy it, but that won’t happen because they want players to buy their new games. :/

I’m working on making a video about fixing the UI and what not, it’s not done but it’s coming sometime in the future.
