    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.

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 :)

    Heey! Your vibe is everything 😎 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 😂 You gained a new sub! I hope to see more The Sims 2 videos whether it be on pc or ps2 or even psp 💕
