The Sims 2

Win life by playing one of the greatest video games ever made! Take control of your character and help achieve success in all aspects of life in this strategic life simulation game - The Sims 2.

Similar to its predecessor, The Sims 2 allows the player to create an in-game avatar called "Sims" and take control of all aspects of their life. The player must manage his/her Sims by providing their needs from food and shelter to socializing and career - similar to the real-life needs of a human being. The game even takes it one step further by giving the Sims their own personality, life goals, fears, and dreams which can produce either positive or negative outcomes to the Sims' life. 

The Sims 2 was the first Sims game to utilize a 3D graphics engine - allowing the players to rotate the camera and see a detailed 360-degree view. Pair this with the ability to design the neighborhood and build and furnish houses, and you have one revolutionary simulation game ahead of its time - making it one of the best-selling PC games in history. In fact, the game was so popular that it now has eight expansion packs and nine "stuff packs" in total.

The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection includes the original game along with all expansion and stuff packs in one package for easier installation and download.

How to Install The Sims 2 on Windows 10/11

1. Download the ISO Version from this page and unzip the file to any folder.
2. Download and install WinCDEmu or other similar apps that allow virtual drive mounting.
3. Run WinCDEmu-4.1.exe, and mount SIMS2.iso using a new virtual CD drive. 
4. Use the Autorun or open setup.exe to install the game normally.
5. When the installer asks for a serial, use the Serial Key on this page.
6. Once the installation is complete, DO NOT run the game.
7. Download the NO-CD Patch and extract Sims2.exe to the game's directory, replacing the existing file.
8. Now you can play the game without mounting the ISO file. You can install any expansion packs or stuff packs after this.

Alternatively, if you want to play the entire game with all the packs already installed, you can just download The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection and install the game using Setup.exe inside.
