Step 1, Run the 'AutoRun' to start the installation process (inside the Gamedata folder). Now we are good to go! Going right on to JUDE WILLIAMS's guideline (with some amendments*) Solution: I suggest that once you have downloaded any files you extract to your Desktop - just makes things clearer for me and easier to cleanup after PROBLEM: Where to download/extract to -making cleanup easier

The video is super clear and he walks you through each step (took 2 minutes then a quick restart of my computer) Solution: First things first - take SPUTNIKSA's advice and go to and change your settings. PROBLEM 1: 'this app has been blocked for your protection' JUDE WILLIAMS and SPUTNIKSA helped big time but I found the directions to be a little confusing so here is my amended guideline below BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE TWO ABOVE! Seriously you guys rock! Couldn't Stop smiling yesterday and already half way through adding the expansion packs. Hey fellow simmers! I have been playing sims since it was just sims so when I found this I just couldn't stop smiling! Then I tried to download.that proved difficult. If it works and you can start to play you did it right and can install the other SP and EP's If it is not working I'M sorry my dear but try retracing step 5 and 6. Step 7, Delete the sims 2 shortcuts created on your desktop and make one from the Sims2EP9 one. You will need to copy this to the TS Bin folder Step 6, Now in the M&GS CD keycode folder there is ann.

Now open the TS Bin forlder off 'Mansion and Garden Stuff'. In most cases C:- Program Files- EA games- The Sims 2. Step 5, When te 'Mansion and Garden Stuff' is installed try to search for the installation folder on your drive. Step 4, Please install the last Stuffpack 'Mansion and Garden Stuff' the same way as the last 3 steps. Inside the CD Keycode folder you can find the patch. You'll also need to Patch the game or you will not be able to install expansion packs and stuff packs. The game will ask you to insert the original CD. Step 3, After the Basegame has been installed do NOT boot up de game yet or it will not work. Step 2, When the game asks about the CD serial fill in the code inside the CD Keycode folder. Step 1, Run the 'AutoRun' to start the installation proces (inside the Gamedata folder).

Please note the Sims 2 is an older game so it might not work on computer but you can always try. It is important to PAY ATTENTION to the following steps OR the sims 2 might not work.
