Install Instructions
Before running setup of this repack, make sure u have uninstalled your every Sims 2
game including their registry entries , if any on your system, make sure there is
no 'EA Games' folder in your 'Documents'('My Documents' for xp users) folder after
uninstalling your previous Sims 2 game as 'EA Games' contains 'The Sims 2' folder
consisting of cache and mods of your previous game which could lead to crashing of
the game....This folder will be regenerated for this repack after 1st time u run
the game.......
DISABLE YOUR ANTIVIRUS BEFORE RUNNING 'Setup.exe' (IMPORTANT) as the antivirus will
mark 'setup' as a suspicious file,, making it unable to launch setup or may run it
but with some glitches,, same for uninstall.....(For avast users: Disable
DeepScreen in antivirus settings)...
After running setup,, click on 'Configure',, specify the install directory,, click
on next and next,, select the necessary software (Direct X [provided in Redist
folder]),, again next,, finally on 'Install'...play from desktop shortcut....
For the first time when you open the game, the game will take some time in
starting(black screen) and in skipping the intro video, please be patient, next
time it'll launch normally and quick....
The game will always show 'Mansion and Garden Stuff' loading screen as it is the
latest expansion, everything is included in it......
First time you load each world, loading takes time, please be patient, It's like
running 10 games at once(don't assume it has frozen) just wait & let it load.....
Always open the game using 'Run as administrator' to avoid crash/savegame issue. If
it still crashes, lower the graphics settings from options ingame and make sure you
meet the system requirements.
NOTE: Change 'Shadows' from high to either low or medium through the ingame
graphics options , otherwise a black square will appear underneath your Sims
instead of indoor shadows...
If in case you can't change the resolution of the game from 800x600 or some
another, read 'Reolution change.txt' textfile provided...
If you are still unable to get it working, feel free to ask here or drop a private
message on my facebook page.
