So you’ve decided to play The Sims 2: The Big guide to TS4′s grandma
[Guide updated semi-frequently]
The Sims 2 for PC is an incredible game. It continues to entertain and delight people all over the globe many years after the initial release. Personally it has been a huge part of my life.
It is, however, objectively ancient and thus a pain in the arse to set up and install in 2021 (or whenever you’re reading this). There are tonnes of resources out there to make the game run and look better but they are scattered across every corner of the internet. Finding and utilising these resources can be overwhelming for any new player.
I have many years of experience getting this game to work properly and I thought that some of that knowledge could be useful, so I’ve cobbled together this ‘ultimate guide’ which should hopefully help to setup a more stable and enjoyable experience right from the beginning.
