THE SOLUTION (for me)


a. Right-click on the The Sims 2 game and left-click on Properties. You can do this either on the game's shortcut on the desktop or on the game's entry in the Start menu.

b. Add a space and -w to the end of the Target field, so that it looks like this: "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSBin\Sims2.exe" -w

Note: The actual path may vary depending on where the game was installed. Make sure that the -w goes outside the quotation marks and that there is a space between the last quotation mark and the -w.

c. Click OK.

Be Happy!

yay it works THANK YOU!

yay it works THANK YOU!

Ok, ive tried adding that -w thing, and that still wont work, i tried downloading all the directx 9.0 that i can find, and nothing is working. Can you please help me, or know of anyone that can help me?

Oh, Yeah, U can also add " -f" if u want it in full screen, " -w" is to play in a window.

that didnt work wat else can i do??????????????????????PLEASE HELP!

remember to add a space before adding -w or -f

If I Install Sims 2 in one drive (f) and It Still Isn't Working Does That Mean That The ""DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adaptors"" Is in My Other Drive (c) and i have to put it over into f?? ;( ;( ;( ;(
