Hi there, I'm a big fan of the Sims games myself. While I don't know a whole lot about Windows 8, I can say I've gotten older games to run on newer operating systems.
What you could do is try right-clicking the E: drive in My Computer where it lists the Sims CD and click Explore. Through that, you should be able to find the Setup.Exe file and try clicking it to run.
You may have to right-click it and run it in Compatibility Mode (I recommend Windows XP SP2, most games work well with that one).
It's a good sign that your drive reads it, it just might not be recognizing the Autorun file.
Good luck with it, if I think of anything else, I'll update.
Something wrong with the disk or the drive maybe. I have had similar problems too in the past.
Copy all the files from the game disc to your hard drive and try run the game setup from there. How to save cd or dvd to your computer YouTube
The game files are in the Program Files folder of your C drive. You can actually perform a file search from File Explore. However, if you are talking about your saved games, then those will be in your User folder in some location depending on which Windows Operating System you have installed.
As long as you have your download file located in Documents/Ea Games/The Sims 2/Downloads (I already had this folder when I installed the game.) you should be fine.
Your might want to try taking out your Sim Blender, and try executing again. It may be causing the game to freeze before it loads all the way. I am currently having the same problems and I am looking for a solution.
Hi there, is the disc damaged at all? if it is, but not very deep scratches, try polishing the disc/disc's, with a very soft cloth. make sure you clean the disc from centre outworse not side to side like most people do, if there is any stains/marks on the disc, try watching them off my damp soft cloth and cleaning it gently, and then dry with enough soft cloth inwards out again.
Also go to your program files making sure there isnt any semi installed versions of Sims, if there is delete the folder for the Sims 2 Double Delux and try again :)
Also alot of games dont install with windows vista, why i am still using windows Xp, untill windows 7 comes out to the public.
Copy the neighborhood files and put them into documents then when you uninstall and reinstall move the files back in merge them and you will have all your towns.
Happy Simming
try go to www.megagames.com and go to pc fixes on the side bar. Then you just simply fin your game, game fixes and download a no-cd crack. After this you put the cracked exe file in the folder where youre install files and other files for the game is( example. C:programfiles/EA GAMES/ sims life stories/ ) you might want to save your original exe file in another folder so if the crack don't work you have the original exe, but just put the crack in the folder where youre game is =)
