Yea that sure would help having more information. It's like calling the police to report a robbery and don't know the address to send them to.

Sorry mate... If you got banned it was because you cd key was blacklisted or got caught using a trainer or cheat. best thing to do is play on a private server or LAN with buddies and possible direct connect to someone else who wants to play. You can't use a ip blocker cause to play on public servers your ip will be validated before you can play and if it sends a request to check your ip and it comes back with nothing then you really won't be able to play because there will be no ip to log.

The code is on the manual? Mine was located in the jewel case. Try using this link and see what you can get. http://www.google.com/search?q=sims+2+serial+keys&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

Yea c'mon we need more information! what are your computer specs? what video card are you running? I'm running Radeon® X1950, it cost alot more but it is worth it because the graphics come to life. Hope you figure it out

I agree with janfebmar, the Sims 2 Forum will have more techs to help you with your problem.

That is weird! Are you by any chance using a no-cd patch?

Hmm... I had that same problem, But the problem with me was that I was using a back-up copy that I downloaded from the web. I was able to play but when it came time to build something that was disabled. (a new security protocol that maxis is using) If you are truly using the retailed cd's I would contact maxis and ask them what to do in your situation. Also having virtual drives enabled can cause problems with game play. *Hope you figure it out*
