do it work for vista, cause i've downloaded once and it said that it would not work on vistakhaosindu (2009-03-28)
I know it works on Vista 32x but when I tried on my other laptop with Vista 64x it didnt work. I would install fine, and when the beginning video played and you pushed any button to skip it, it froze and went off. Said some type of graphical error.khaosindu (2009-03-28)
Any other questions, be sure to ask. I will be monitoring this torrent for a while, at least 10-15 times a day! =D Enjoy and make sure you seed!!queenofblades (2009-03-29)
It can work on xp 32? Oh please say yes...khaosindu (2009-03-29)
As for as I know, it works on all systems except Vista 64x. Happy Gaming! =Dqueenofblades (2009-03-29)
Ok I was wondering because I OWN sims (grrr) but I have to have like a certain awesome videocard that I dont have. Should still work though for this? (Please say yes because I just deleted 15gB so I could download this).khaosindu (2009-03-29)
Before I got my vid card [Nvidia GeForce 8600GT 1GB] I had just the onboard graphics card which was a ATI Xpress 200. Ran the game just fine! =D I shouldn't see a problem though for your computer.ben10945 (2009-03-30)
SEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!queenofblades (2009-03-30)
Sweet! and for FUCKS sake people seed this thing it's taking me forever to download!khaosindu (2009-03-30)
Currently I am the only one seeding because I don't think anyone has fully downloaded it yet, and I got my upload rate at max. Sorry its taking so long guys!queenofblades (2009-03-30)
Oh, and could you list exactly which exapnsions are part of this? Like, do you have All the way up to free time and whatnot?khaosindu (2009-03-30)
Updated list in the info area. All the way up to the latest one! Please enjoy and have fun!queenofblades (2009-03-30)
One last question (sorry!) what mounting tools would I need to use? Or would I need to use any? Sorry, I'm still a bit new to this.Thanks!
khaosindu (2009-03-30)
You can get daemon tools or alcohol 120. What ever you choose. All you do it mount, follow instructions for install, and play!AerisDies (2009-04-03)
Come on people... Seed, this is taking freaking forever man...I'll seed this forver if it works, great torrent! Thanks!
khaosindu (2009-04-03)
Currently it is still saying that I am the only one still uploading. So until people are done there is only one seed and thats me, lol. I have mine running 24/7 at the highest speed possible. Thanks for everyone's patience!khaosindu (2009-04-05)
I do know there are a few other seeders that are done downloading this. Please make sure you see this. Kinda hard when I'm the only one!canonboy25 (2009-04-05)
i don't have the full game of sims 2 yet.please tell me if do i need to download first the full installed copy of sims 2..?
i want to play this game..
canonboy25 (2009-04-05)
please seed..i dont have much time..
i really have to download it as soon as possible please
canonboy25 (2009-04-05)
gosh,,i only got 3 kbps !!!!!
help!!
if you want to help, SEED..
please?????
sily_king (2009-04-05)
i'm at 64 percent, once its done i'll seed.khaosindu (2009-04-05)
@cannonboy25Ok just download the full thing, then just follow the install instructions.
vashshadow (2009-04-06)
plz seed no one is seedingkhaosindu (2009-04-06)
Ok if you read the comments before you will see that I have commented on this before as well. I am the only one that is apparently seeding. Its kinda hard to seed 13.8GiB by yourself! I'm just waiting for people to seed. Sorry if this comment sounds a bit rude, but telling other users to seed isn't really going to do anything!epilare (2009-04-06)
how do you play these files? sorry. i'm a real rookie when it comes to computers...khaosindu (2009-04-07)
Download Alcohol 120, or Daemon tools lite. Mount, install, play!khaosindu (2009-04-07)
Once again, I noticed that we had 2 seeders at some point yesterday, and now there is just one again, and that is me. This game won't get anywhere unless people seed the darn torrent.khaosindu (2009-04-07)
Retract last comment, there must be an update error with the page on tpb. Because in uTorrent, there is 5 seeders! Which is awesome! Thanks for all who is seeding!ukprncs (2009-04-07)
hey.i just finished this download.
however i'm clueless when it comes to working this things. i do not understand what 'mount' is and such.
i'm sorry but is anyone able to explain in complete detail to me what to do after i have downloaded this. pretty please!
thank you! with very much appreciate it! =)
limejelloisyummy (2009-04-07)
When i tried to execute the crack in the Mansion & Garden Stuff folder i got this message "Failed to enumerate any DirectX 9 compatible graphics adapters in this system! Please make sure you have a DirectX 9 compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest manufacturer provided driver. The application will now terminate..." HELPlimejelloisyummy (2009-04-07)
Sorry to bother again, i tried to play the game without doing the crack thing, and i get this error "No disc inserted. Please insert the original "The Sims tm Mansion and Garden Stuff" CD/DVD" when i mount it, nothing happenslovelyhappyness (2009-04-07)
I have a question.In the read me it says to unrar.
Im still learning.
How do you do that?
khaosindu (2009-04-08)
@ ukprncs -- ok. heres what you do.1. Download Daemon Tools Lite, just google that, install.
2. When you "Mount" a .iso you open it with Daemon tool and install, just like you would any other normal CD.
3. Follow the install instructions and put the cd keys provided in where they belong, and follow the step by step instructions on the readme that came with it.
4. Copy the crack over from the Mansion & Garden Stuff folder to the directory where it needs to go.
5. Play and Enjoy!
@ limejelloisyummy -- The problem you could be having is with your video card. and not having the updated directx that you need. What are the specs of your computer. And as for mounting the cd, you need to do the crack, unless your going to burn the cd for Mansion and Garden Stuff.
@ lovelyhappyness -- There is some files that will probably need to be unrared. .rar files are like .zip files. So just google, winrar, download and install. Then follow the instructions from above in this comment that I wrote to another user. Hopefully everything will work just fine!
Any other questions please feel free to ask. I will help to the best of my ability!
limejelloisyummy (2009-04-08)
Okay, how do i update the directx? I do not know how to find the specs, or what they are.sily_king (2009-04-08)
i finished downloading, and will be seeding soon..i downloaded the first one sims2 delux or whatever and when i try to run it it says "please insert the original disk instead of backup(1000)" I'm using the Daemonm Tools LIte, what do i do?sily_king (2009-04-08)
installed, not downloaded..i installed the sims2 deluxkhaosindu (2009-04-08)
@ limejelloisyummy - google directx for the latest version, and install.@ sily_king - I do not have the crack just for that one, you'd have to download the whole thing to get it working properly.
go to www[dot]gameworldburn[dot]com and search Sims 2 Deluxe no cd. and download and copy over. Should work just fine!
That link has the no cd patch.
Let me know if there is anything else!
sily_king (2009-04-08)
oh, ok thank you. I'm gonna download it all was just making sure it would run, thanks.sily_king (2009-04-08)
i downloaded directx 9 or whatever, but the crack will still not work..is there another one i can use?khaosindu (2009-04-08)
@ sily_king -- Which game you installing? Did you install all of them, or did you just get the one game?ukprncs (2009-04-08)
thank you so much.but now i'm having the same problem as silly_king.
i've downloaded everything. (though i already had sims 2 uni and nightlife already installed on my PC so i don't know if that's any issue) and now i have that issue with the "Failed to enumerate any DirectX 9 compatible graphics adapters in this system! Please make sure you have a DirectX 9 compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest manufacturer provided driver. The application will now terminate..." =(
and i never did this "Copy the crack over from the Mansion & Garden Stuff folder to the directory where it needs to go" because i was unsure of what you meant.
sorry.
khaosindu (2009-04-08)
@ ukprncs -- Copying the crack means you go to your harddrive/program files->ea games->garden and mansion stuff->tsbin. Once you get to that directory then copy the crack from the crack folder over to the Mansion and garden stuff and it should work.Like I said about the issue with the directx9 you probably need to update your direct x or go to the sims 2 forums on their site and trouble shoot that issue. The troubleshoot on the sims 2 site has fixes for all of these problems!
epilare (2009-04-08)
mine is at 72.2 % will seed when its done.khaosindu (2009-04-08)
I do have to wonder if tpb is having an update issue, because it says 25 here at the site then in my uTorrent it says 46. Who knows though. Thanks all for seeding!ukprncs (2009-04-09)
thank you for all your help, but it may just be me or my PC but it's not working.great download though. will continue to seed.
khaosindu (2009-04-09)
I do apologize ukprncs that it did not work. Keep ahold of it and try on an updated computer or something.Spazzu (2009-04-09)
I'm a bit confused. I've been following the instructions you've given, but when I mount the the things to Daemon Tools(or even the other), nothing happens. It isn't running.Wh-what am I doing wrong? D:
hegel5000 (2009-04-09)
Oh, this looks wonderful. I mean, it'll take several weeks if I only download this while online, but like, it's great with the included crack and the install order list. I love touches like that so that I know what to do :DWith something this big, you don't _have_ to have seeders. For me, when I download, I set the upload rate to half of what it would be if I was purely seeding, and that's probably what ends up happening with everyone else. With something this big, just be patient. The best part about a torrent is that it's just set it and forget it. And also make sure you've done all the necessary port forwarding steps. It can potentially really increase your speed on smaller torrents (I only barely figured out port forwarding just this year :P), and it probably also helps with seeding to more people.
Jayflip (2009-04-09)
I keep getting "Please insert the original disc instead of a backup (1000)."I downloaded _ONLY_ The sims 2 Deluxe (w/ NightLife) and also Daemon Tools. I mounted the extracted the folder to my desktop, mounted the MDS file and opened the MDF file with virtual drive, and it tells me "Please insert the original disc instead of a backup (1000)."
I have no idea where i went wrong, but please respond ASAP.
(This is the first time i've ever tried to mount something, maybe i've done it wrong?)
I'll be checking back daily.
Thankyou again for the download.
khaosindu (2009-04-09)
@ Jayflip -- Ok, because you downloaded just the first one, here is what you need to do. Go to gamecopyworld[dot]com and look for The Sims 2 Deluxe NO CD crack. Download, copy to installed directory and play n' enjoy!@ Spazzu -- ok, I personally dont use daemon tools. Try this, go to google and type in Alcohol 120% and download the trial and install, it will automatically make a virtual drive, so when you "mount" the .iso or what ever format there in, it will auto-load just like you were have to put a cd in the cd tray on your computer. Then follow the install instructions and you should be good to go!
Jayflip (2009-04-09)
Oh, I didn't realise I was soposed to download them all. THANKYOU MANTried and works PERFECTLY
I'll download just to seed for you. Thanks a MILLION (:
Thanks for the quick responce too!
Spazzu (2009-04-09)
...Hnnngh. I feel like such a bother, but I've honestly never used these programs before. Ever.I installed the program, but now its just sitting here and...I'm confused.
A-Any chance you could email me or something to walk me through this? Sorry for being such a loser. :'c
Mcdrew223 (2009-04-09)
Im with spazzu, Im new to these type of programs and Im lost as well. You said to "mount" but I have not idea how to do this sorry. I did deamon tools lite it install correctly I have the drive now but I cant open these files with it nor anything else. I tried to copy and paste to the drive, I tried to drag it. I noticed that files 1 is not a rar file so I didnt try to use a winrar yet either. Please help if you can. So basically I dont know how to install it onto the Deamon drive. Im supposing this is the next step. I f I need to install it somehow then put to deamon drive then I dont know how to run the install from its current status.Mcdrew223 (2009-04-09)
Ok I uninstalled Deamon lite tools and installed alcohol 120 and I it actually did something I see the mount options and such so Im guessing my deamon tools lite wasnt working right, so it went bye bye! I'll see if now I can figure out the rest from your past instructions ty for all your help and this game!khaosindu (2009-04-09)
@ Spazzu -- Just go to google, and look for Alcohol 120% and download the trial and then install. Everything will be much easier with this programs. Drag all of your files over into Alcohol 120% and then just mount, install, and follow the rest of the instructions.@ Mcdrew223 - Glad its working for you. I prefer alcohol 120% over any other imaging app. It really does make life alot easier. Easier to operate!

some one please seed!carmelz101 (2009-04-11)
i downloaded this and all of them work except apartment life and mansion and garden stuff...it keeps saying i need a cd for the both of them...helpkhaosindu (2009-04-11)
@ carmelz101 -- Then you possibly have done something wrong. You didn't install them correctly, you didn't patch them correctly, or just didn't follow the instructions. Everything work man, you don't run any of them till all are installed and another thing, once you install apartment life and mansion and garden stuff, it should ask for apartment life cd. and make you that you have copied the crack over correctly.carmelz101 (2009-04-11)
well i followed all the instructions and it still say's that....I had bought sims double delux before and have some of the sim games already installed will that affect itkhaosindu (2009-04-12)
Yes, you have to install in the order that is in the readme file. If not it wont work. Same thing happened to me after I got all of them. I had them all in disarray when I installed. So I had to uninstall all of them, then I reinstalled all of them again, and worked like a charm!geoshippo (2009-04-12)
please please please seed!carmelz101 (2009-04-12)

I have alcohol 120% and i have no clue how to use it!khaosindu (2009-04-13)
@ carmelz101 - Yes, uninstall everything and install everything you downloaded. The entire download, just install! Then should work!mrsthursday (2009-04-13)
Hi allthis is the 1st time for me.
I've downloaded and am still seeding, put in keys etc.
Now it says
'Now put the crack in the last installed game folder (Mansion And Garden Stuff) and execute it.
sorry guys, but can you give me a step by step, on this last part?
snn1626 (2009-04-13)
Ok so I've been downloading this torrent for the past 2 days, and it was around 63% complete, and my bitcomet would always give me a pop up window saying something stupid about the program and says it would close but when I clicked ok, nothing happened. This happened about 10 times, and this morning I clicked ok again like normal, and the download disappeared. I still have the files that I already downloaded, but I really don't want to have to start again. I went back to this site to try the same torrent again, and I put the download spot as the same as before and I got a window saying that I already had some of the same files in the torrent I wanted to download and that they were probably uncompleted files and I should click yes to 'hash and check and continue to download' and no 'to change my download spot' or something similiar to that. If I click yes, will it erase all of the files that I spent the last 2 days downloading? or will it pick up from where it left off? plz plz plz help, I don't want to spend another 4 days getting this done...Thanks :)snn1626 (2009-04-13)
nvm, I figured it out :) thanks anyways, hopefully it works when it finialy downloads :Pcarmelz101 (2009-04-13)
how do I unrar it?carmelz101 (2009-04-13)
Well I deleted everything completely and i am redownloading this so it's gonna take a day...but I have 4 questions....1. In the direction it say's unrar....What does that mean? I use Daemen Tools lite because I have no clue how to use alcohol 120 and I just mount the sim game's onto there. So how do you unrar?
2. Can someone not "seeding" this effect the download?
3. In the direction with that whole crack thing...what are you suppose to do?
4. Maybe my daeman tools lite is making say use the cd....How do you use alcohol 120?
carmelz101 (2009-04-13)
[Sorry to bother you again man am I annoying] haha...But when you say copy the crack to the mansion and garden stuff...do you take the crack folder and drag it to the mansion and garden folder...cause that's what Ive been doing and I don't see how that's gonna do anything :/khaosindu (2009-04-13)
@ carmelz101 - Go to google and look for WinRar, search it, download it, install it! Yes to answer question 2. I have no idea about the daemon tools about saying it needs the cd etc.Now as far as the crack goes, here is what you need to do.
1. Go to the crack folder in what you downloaded so.. get to this location The.Sims.2 + All.Expansions [WORKING] - Rebuild - Khaos Industries\Crack\TSBin\ and the crack with be in that folder.
2. Now open my computer and get to this location.. C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Mansion and Garden Stuff\TSBin
3. You will see the game file called Sim2EP9.exe just from the crack folder, right click on it, then go to the game directory and right click and hit paste. Then a box will ask if you want to replace this file, just press yes and there ya go. That should do it for ya!
carmelz101 (2009-04-13)
okay I'll do that...and for the patches...when I try to use it for the freetime my window's say that it wasnt installed correctly and if i should install t using the recommended setting or no it was installed correctly..which one should I click?...and then when I try to use the freetime patch it say that there was an error and that i have to uninstall and reinstall freetime again...carmelz101 (2009-04-13)
*install itkhaosindu (2009-04-13)
@ carmelz101 -- Once everything is uninstalled follow the readme that comes with the download. Install in that order and when it comes to the patch then install the patch. Just follow the installed order and everything will be fine and it will install correctly.um2012 (2009-04-14)

Bibbygail (2009-04-14)
Ok, so this is the first time I've ever tried to download a "torrent", I think it's called. I dowloaded it and now I have no idea what to do with it. I've been reading all the comments and I downloaded alcohol 120 and rarzilla, but I have no idea what to do with them now that I have them. I don't know what a rar is or how to undo it, I don't know how to mount, or seed, or crack. These words aren't computer terms in my head. Could someone please post like a pirating for dummies or someting. I realize that this must be super annoying to all you people who are clued in, but I REALLY want to understand this and your help would be, well, helpful...Bibbygail (2009-04-15)
ok...so i figured out the mounting thing and i've installed sims 2 deluxe, but when i go to install the university part, there are 2 parts and when i finish the first part, it says insert disc 2. obviously, i don't have a disk, so what do i do?khaosindu (2009-04-15)
for the second disk, all you have to do is just unmount the first one then mount the 2nd disk. Easy as pie!snn1626 (2009-04-15)
ok so i spent 4 days downloading this, and it doesn't want to install. i mount the image and blah blah on daemon tools, and it asks for english or spanish, and after that it tells me that sims 2 is already installed and i need to uninstall it to install sims 2 deluxe.but ive already uninstalled and deleted verything to do with my old sims 2. ive gone thru every file on my computer, and i cant find anything to do with the old sims 2, but it still wont let me install the deluxe version. any suggestions??snn1626 (2009-04-15)
hooray! i got past that stupid problem... and it didnt work for the dumbest reason ever. but glad its finially installing... hopefully no more problems...*fingers crossed*khaosindu (2009-04-15)
Congrats sn1626!snn1626 (2009-04-15)
do i have to install it on my c drive? not really any room... can i install it on my d drive and have it work still?khaosindu (2009-04-15)
You can install it on your d drive if you want. Thats fine. You can install it anywhere for it to work!!snn1626 (2009-04-15)
wow i suck with computers... ok so i tried to make everything install in my d:drive, but when i tried to install the add ons without ken codes, it tells me i dont have enough hard drive space open and i need 200 mb, but i have at least 26 GB open in my d drive and 6 GB in the c drive... so i skipped that one and i got to celebration stuff and it tells me that sims 2 and sims pets is installed wrong and i need to reinstall them both... what now? sorry...khaosindu (2009-04-15)
Ok, uninstall all the sims2 stuff on your computer. Reinstall from the beginning on your d drive. Follow the install order and do everything the readme says. It should install correctly.snn1626 (2009-04-15)
i uninstalled all of it and made an EA games folder on my d drive, and i installed the deluxe without a problem, but now its saying that the university installs wrong and it terminates... what am i dont wrong now?? sorry for the trouble...khaosindu (2009-04-15)

OK. Sorry to bug you but I have a quick question. I have followed your instructions to the letter, successfully installing all the expansion packs in the proper order and copying the crack into the mansion and gardens stuff expansion tsbin folder. However for some unknown reason the screen freezes at the mansion and garden stuff screen. It plays the intro video to the sims 2 and everything but then freezes and stops responding. I noticed um2012 had a similar problem but then somehow resolved it?!?! Please help me.khaosindu (2009-04-18)
I personally wouldn't know. What type of system do you have and whats your os?hitsticklol (2009-04-19)
i have a lenovo ideapad y530 laptop with windows vista home premium 32 bit. i dont know maybe i should just try to torrent a different crack or something or maybe reinstall the whole thing?khaosindu (2009-04-19)
Ok when you copy the crack over, make a desktop shortcut. Then go to your desk top and right click and then look for something to the effect of run under window xp 32bit or something to that. Tell me how it goes there for you. Because it sounds like your having the same problem from when I tried to install on my sisters laptop. She has a hp 4gb ram with decent ati video card etc with vista 64x. Because of her 64x it wont run the game. Even tried the way im recommending to you now, but try that and let me know how that turns out for you.Luke182 (2009-04-19)

wow. i feel kinda stupid. i left the Sims 2 on for 2 hours and turns out the problem was just it takes a while to load because my graphics aren't that good. so i had to change them in the options later and now it works fine. thanks for the help anyway. By the way the CD key for kitchen and bath stuff didn't work for me, but here's one that did: H8JA-8LRD-7THY-5YCO-HFLT. Thanks again and great torrent.Dudeix (2009-04-19)
Great torrent, installs and works correctly. I too thought i had the issue of it freezing at the mansion&garden stuff screen, but like others, turns out it's just a really long load wait (at least 10 minutes). That said i have a question that doesn't pretain to the torrent itself.Where do you stick custom content downloads? Normally its in C:Program Files/EA Games/The Sims 2/Downloads, but theres a folder for every installed expansion, and no downloads folder in any of them, and creating one in mansion & garden stuff doesn't seem to work. Anybody care to help me out with that?
khaosindu (2009-04-19)
C:\Documents and Settings\*Your Username Here*\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloadsif the download folder doesn't exist, go ahead and just right click and make one called downloads. Then just copy all your addons over to that!

I'm having te DirectX problem with the patch, and I'm updated to the latest version.Acer Extensa 5420
AMD Turion 64 x2
(1.9 GHz, 2 x 512 KB L2 cache)
up to 896 MB ATI Radion Xpress 1250 HyperMemory
I don't know which version of Vista I'm running... It says Home Premium but there's no number. Is it the x64?
I followed all the directions, mounted and installed each pack in order.
Also, the patch folders were empty, but I just downloaded them from the Sims 2 site.
I can't run anything until I finish everything, I think you said. It's still saying I need to run from an original disk and not a backup, but I figured that was because I hadn't run the crack or finished anything yet.
Help?
:]
Brittnaaay (2009-04-22)
Okay, I figured out that I have Vista 32-bit.I'm gonna see if there's any updates for my driver, or something.

IF ANYONE GETS THE "FAILED TO ENUMERATE" ERROR FROM DIRECT X THEN JUST PUT THE CRACK IN THE TSbin FOLDER AND RUN IT THERE. Works for mekhaosindu (2009-04-22)
Thats what your supposed to do with the crack, is put it in the TSBin folder anyways. lol. You dont run it from the download folder, it needs to be in the directory folder.Luke182 (2009-04-23)
Oh right well at first i put it in the mansion folder then tried it in bin and worked :P anyway nice upload thanksjrpthepixie (2009-04-23)
K sorry if this has been asked before but im to lazy to read all messages :/I downloaded that went fine -scanned found no virus's thanks Khanos. I have Daemon tools (which does work wonders) which i mounted it with, i think i might of screwed up because your install mentions to unrar which i have i just didnt do, but when i go to play its asking for Mansion CD then i read you instructions and it mentions to mount crack in same folder as mansion where can i find this?khaosindu (2009-04-23)
"step 1. go to my computer >> your c drive >> program files >> ea games >> and in the ea games you will see mansion and garden >> now go to the mansion and garden tsbin folderstep 2. Now open up your documents folder and where you have all the games listed how yu mounted everything and you will see a folder that says crack go to it and yu will see a thing saying sims e9 something like that now copy that and put it in the mansion and garden tsbin folder and it will work"
Thank you carmelz for the comment you left. Just quoting it.
That is what you do in order for you to get it to work. The crack has to be in the TSBin folder for the Mansion and Garden Stuff. The crack folder can be found in the download folder where you got all the .iso's from. Any other questions, please ask!

i'm kind of new to this but i was wondering if once the free trial is up for daemon tools will i still be able to access the game? Will it still mount it?

ASSASSIN82 (2009-05-20)
Hi everyone! Ok I know there have been a million questions but maybe my question can help clear up everyone's questions as well.I've downloaded the torrent (thanks to everyone that seeded!) and now I need help getting this file to work. I'll write what I've done so far, so please help me when you see I have done something wrong.
1. I have Alcohol 120%, I went to My Documents, opened 'The.Sims.2 + All.Expansion..." file with Alcohol 120%, opened [01.0 & 03.0 folder] and mounted 'Sims2Deluxe1.mdf' - was I supposed to mount the other file in that folder as well? (Sims2Deluxe1.mds)
2. After everything finished installing, I tried to open the game, but I got a "Emulation software detected" message. I didn't know what was wrong, so I continued mounting the next files.
3. I opened the 2.0 folder up with Alcohol (this is what I don't know what to do)-there are 5 files in this folder, a CCD, IMG, BIN, CUE, and SUB file-- do I mount ALL files, or which one do I mount?
I think for all the newbies here, there are multiple files within each folder, so its difficult to know if all files are supposed to be mounted or one specific file, and in which order. I'm not messing with this this anymore until I can get some concrete answers. Once I can figure it out, I will be happy to help anyone else download and execute their game!
Sorry so long, I just wanted to make my question(s) as clear as possible.
Thanks!

Hey. Im currently still downloading sloooowly but i have never used this to download games before. Ive read through all the comments and am more confused than ever.

hay ppl!! tell me how to download plz!!!gr8limacon (2009-05-29)
You download by clicking on "Download this torrent". If you mean how do you download it, then I would recommend "Vuze" which is a program that downloads torrents. Just google it. Im sure other people would recommend other torrent downloaders, but for me Vuze works just fine.weebl93 (2009-06-01)
I have installed all the Sim games. However when I go to play the game i get the error message of:"Wrong disc inserted.
Please insert the original "The Sims? 2 Mansion and Garden Stuff" CD/DVD."
Also when I copy the TSBin crack to the programe folder do i overwrite the orginal 'Sims2EP9' file.
Help please =]
bloodybee (2009-06-05)
If you experience red flashing walls like I used to, follow these instructions -http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Red_Flashing_Walls
And to make the game go faster, go to Start> Run > System config and disable all. (Internet goes off)
khaosindu (2009-06-06)
@weebl93Yes, over right the copy. Just click yes! Then it will play!

HeyI just downloaded everything. Step 2 says I should Mount it. I tried Alcohol 120%, Daemon Tools Pro and Daemon Tools Lite. Nothing worked.
I opened the first file, and I went to Mount in Daemon tools, but it was light greyish colored, which means I couldn't click it.
I googled what was wrong and to me it seems the program doesn't makes a virtual drive... How can I solve this?
Or did I do something wrong? Thanks for making this file available for us!
dntndastn (2009-06-14)
Oh and if someone knows how to solve the problem (making a virtual drive) please email me at:crashed dot desire at gmail dot com.

@tdoubleThat's what the crack is for. I don't use the cracks though. I use the Sims 2 Store Edition. You don't need the discs, just google it and install it. It's made by EA. Hopefully they didn't patch it.

well we have downloaded this torrent and followed the instrutions,and added the crack into the tsbin in mansion and garden in c drive program files and over ride the other crack,
but the sims will start but will freeze then crash when it gets to the sims logo,
and the only way to solve that problem is to hold down ctrl + alt then press delete to start the task manager but a error message comes up saying that there is a problem with the crack.

I finally finished downloading this torrent. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Everything is working okay up until the installation of The Sims 2 Glamour Life Stuff - when it gets near 98% completion, I get this error:"A problem occurred when trying to transfer the
file 'E:\Support\European HelpFiles\Sv\whxdata\whtoc.xml' from the media.
Do you want to retry to copy the file, or cancel the installation?"
I've tried going into the disc and went to the address directed in the error to copy the whtoc.xml file and pasting it into the installation directory manually. When I try, Windows gives me an error saying "Invalid MS-DOS Function".
Can I just skip installing Glamour Life Stuff (as well as a couple of others with the same error) or am I going to have to move onto another torrent? Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

So... I have the original The Sims 2 already, but if this torrent contains Sims 2 Deluxe, it means that I really don't need the original The Sims 2, right?Also, I know The Sims 2 can be played in Finnish, but can I play these The Sims 2 games in Finnish, or are these in English only?
(I'm sorry for being a n00b like this, but I just am curious.)
DocProphecy (2010-05-16)
For those of you wondering, this does work on windows 7 64 bit. It's also 100 percent safe and is really the only torrent on pb that you should bother downloading when it comes to sims 2.For all of you who are having problems, follow the directions step by step. You also have to download the whole file(all 13.85gb). I also had the Sims 2 double deluxe, and I tried just downloading all the expansion packs from here but the installation got messed up in the end because I used the actual disk for the deluxe portion instead of the .exe found in this torrent. After I downloaded the whole thing and followed the instructions, it worked fine and still works to this day.
Note that after you successfully get the installation done and you start up the game, the loading screens will take 5-20 minutes to load (depending on your computer) because of all the information from the expansions it has to process.

This is a great release, thanks. Makes things so much easier.Update. You will not be able to install updates, Free Time patch and Apartment Life patch. And its not needed cause it will be installed with latest expansion automatically. For one of the expansions the release groups own little app will autostart, use the key generator in that app. For Bon Voyage the key is wrong use this 4n88-r284-4ghm-xe9d-5kw3 instead.

@gerardonavarrete: Yes, it is multilanguage.I keep stumbling across the same problem several other people have been having and I couldn't find how to fix it. I've done everything necessary and yet it won't start. I go to the crack and, when I click the icon that should start the game it gives me a message telling me that the game couldn't "enumerate any DirectX 9 compatible graphics adapters" in my computer . Now this is just plain ridiculous; I have DirectX 9 on my computer already and as far as I know I have a DirectX 9 compatible graphics adapter. Can anyone help me?

Thank you so much for this download! It took about five days, but it was worth the wait, as it installed perfectly.And to answer a question I saw, in case nobody has answered it, yes, patches are included.
A few of the stuff packs required me to go to the folder where the images were mounted (which is the I drive for me, I think) and manually autorun them, but they worked fine, despite popping up a few messages saying they hadn't installed properly.
Also, if anyone is having problems, I highly suggest mounting images with Daemon Tools Lite. You can find it here:

I am using Windows Vista, by the way.
Thanks again for the upload!

I might just not be thinking straight because it's really late, but I've downloaded the 13gigs and when I install it it's adding 13g again, is it not?

jessicahaligh (2010-09-21)
@Yosuplol once you install each expansion you should only need to keep Mansions & Garden's .iso. Just as it'd be if you bought the games: you only need the most recent expansion pack's cd to play.lisa81uk (2010-09-21)
Works perfectly for me on windows 7 using daemon tools lite. Just had to remember to change the compatability of all the expansions to 'run in sp3 for xp' and 'run as admin'Amazing upload, thanks very much :)
lisa81uk (2010-09-21)
@billydimakit takes a while to load up the first time, just let it run past the whole intro and wait, dont forget to change the compatability too.
billydimak (2010-09-22)
Yeah, thanks, I changed the compatibilities. The loading times are.. huge. (and not because of my PC :p )But it plays, so I can't complain.

bamjuice (2010-10-25)
@KhaosinduI'm not sure if your aware or not, But i don't think this torrent is safe actually i'm 100% Positive.
I don't wish to go blaming you as you may not know this but it has 11 - 12 Viruses including some extremely dangerous trojans and malware such as.
*Trojan Downloader (Downloads Worms and Malware to your harddrive without any notice)
*Malware
*Malware Hijacker (People can at any time whoever controls this virus can access your computer from there own computer)
And many more, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS VIRUSES...
Before you ask "What did you scan it with"
Remove the "What" and replace it with a "Which"....
I Scanned with the following:
Avast Pro Antivirus
Microsoft Security Essentials
Nortans 360 4.0 Premium
McAfee
All Showing these viruses
I had to actually go into safe mode as my computer was seriously infected and try my best on removing them before it got worse i was lucky to get rid of them all within 2 hours.
Then to find out the trojan downloader got 5 more viruses so i got rid of them and was safe
But not everyone is lucky.....
So i highly Suggest taking a good thought of maybe removing the torrent....?
Cheers,
Bamjuice

McAfee found 10
And avast found 8.
I had to go into safe mode as my computer was constantly rebooting the windows due to the viruses....
Once again i get absolutly nothing from lieing.... but Torrents are getting more dangerous to download every day

Do this:
1. Rightclick My Computer (XP) and press Properties.
2. Goto Advanced tab and goto Performance and click the Settings button.
3. Goto Advanced tab in the new window and press Change...
4. You should be able to work it out urself.

Thank you for a great torrent! :DAnd for the people wondering which folder you're supposed to put the crack in, it's the TSbin of the last expansion you've installed. So if you install them all in order, you're supposed to put the crack in the TSbin folder of Mansion & Gardens. Hope it helped!

I have a slight problem, i downloaded it successfully, and i mounted and installed the first one (Sims 2 Deluxe) as you said, but it wont let me install the second one (The Sims 2 University) it says 100% done but then it says it has to see if its up to date and then it just uninstalls itself because it is not up to date and when i try to uninstall the first one, it tells me "You currently have one or more expansions packs installed. You must uninstall all expansions packs before uninstalling The Sims 2 Deluxe" But there is nothing else i found that i can uninstall. Thanks.MenmaKanashimi (2011-03-16)

@HitomiSaki I Made A Folder Called Install And Inside That I Made The Sims 2 And Extracted The Files Into That.selfless (2011-03-21)
It works just fine. I tried to scan with Microsoft Security Essentials and it didn't detect viruses.Here's some tips from me for everyone (I'm not THAT expert in these things, but I hope this can help):
@lanadavila: mount those files you've downloaded with Daemon. After you mount and install all the files, put the crack in the Mansion and Garden Stuff's (or the latest installed expansion) TSBin, then enjoy the game.
@jarabarab: have you copied the crack to the latest installed expansion's TSBin?
@reereem: Did you install them in appropriate order? Read them in 'ReadMe & Serials & Install Order' note.
reereem (2011-03-22)
Yes i did it in order, i actually tried downloading another torrent, same problem, could there be something wrong with my computer?tatooooo (2011-03-27)
So, I just started downloading this torrent today, and everything is fine and dandy, I don't need help, but I did want to post and inform peeps who are concerned, my AVG antivirus stopped the download and popped up saying that the Free Time Expansion IS in fact, infected with a virus. Just warning those who are wondering. I think the rest of it is fine, I just set it to skip the FT expansion.SparkitupSloane (2011-03-28)

this might be a stupid question, but I've mounted and installed all the expansion packs, and put the crack into the latest installed, but first of all what do I click on to start the game? Is it the crack .exe file? Whatever exe I click it says I need to insert a CD which I then mount, and it still doesn't work, it just says I need to insert a CD still! Help!alwayzrick (2011-04-10)
@mlee89not sure if youve got it working yet or not, but all you have to do it put the crack into the "TSbin" folder of the sims 2 mansion expansion, then just create a desktop shortcut of the crack and double click that whenver you want to play, should work fine if you installed everything right.
cocanaut (2011-04-10)
Ok, so I uninstalled the sims 2 and now I'm trying to reinstall it because I did it incorrectly the first time. I manually uninstalled it in windows 7, but it says that I still have it installed.... I don't know how to get rid of it. Can anyone help?cocanaut (2011-04-10)
Oh nevermind I am stupid. I uninstalled it manually but for some reason some of the files were still left behind. Thanks. This SHOULD work this time. Hopefully.cocanaut (2011-04-10)

I'm getting an error message when doing the Free Time patch.. everything previous has been successfully installed and I've gotten the game to work at another computer (windows xp) so I know I'm installing it right, but it still says that an error occured and that I have to reinstall the Free Time expansion.Could the patch be old/bad or is it because this computer uses Windows 7 64bit that I have to use the patch differently? Do I just click on it or do I have to move it somewhere else and then click on it? It's the fourth time I get stuck there and I've made sure that everything before it has gone flawlessly. Please help or I might just have to use a few grand from my savings and buy the freaking game :(

I used this one to get all of the expansions/stuff packs, and it worked out great.(Just posting the below in case someone else experiences the same problem at first. You can easily get around it.)
The only problem I had - which is not the fault of the poster, or anyone else for that matter - is that the base game and Nightlife parts wouldn't install correctly. Even in compatibility mode, the game refused to run because my laptop is x86. All I had to do was search for a different torrent for the base game and Nightlife. After that, I came back to this one and had no problems whatsoever using the rest. All of the serials worked fine. The no-disk crack also worked without issue.

is it ok that i did not istall all of the patches?..like teen style and kitchen and bath.. ect...?...now i just gotta check n make sure it actually worksKristynLeigh (2011-06-06)
I'm so confused as how to do everything.I've never downloaded a torrent, mounted, or unzipped a thing in my life! I'm used to the "Install" button & whabam! So I need help!
I think I got everything done, but when I go to play it says "Conflict with Emulation Software detected"
Singota (2011-06-12)
It works 100% for me, thank you for this upload. The only remark I have is that when I tried to install the IKEA expansion, I got a virus alert so I didn't install that one but the rest of the expansion packs are working fine.If anyone should get stuck at the loading screen (so you installed everything correctly, put the crack in the correct file and it plays the intro and you hear the music but you don't see a loading bar or anything) you should wait a little while. It took about five minutes for me before the game really started and once I was playing I changed the settings of the graphics to "low" and it's loading a lot faster now
555spyder (2011-06-20)
@melee89 you have to place the cracked file into the bon voyage tsbin folder. and if it doesnt ask you to replace a file that is already there delete the other exe and copy the name to the cracked exe. i used to be about as incompetent with torrenting as you my friend. it takes some getting used to trust meLisanne---0 (2011-06-20)

How do you 'terminate' the crack, just delete it or..aobo11 (2011-07-24)
Whoever is getting the error message on glamour life about whtoc.xml not being copyable or something, i found that mounting the .cue file instead of the .bin file fixes that.TargetTango (2011-08-03)
I've installed everything and extracted the crack, but when I run the Mansion and Garden stuff the game freezes at the main screen, there's no loading bar or anything.TargetTango (2011-08-03)
Well my freezing problem was because the game takes 5 minutes to load. But after playing for about 2 hours the game suddenly crashed with the message... Error: "The application has crashed. The application will now terminate."... Then when I tried to load the game back up again it crashes with the same message during the neighborhood loading screen.xXj0h4nXx (2011-08-05)

karriban (2011-09-09)
@misskelseyjane & sefercili: Most likely, it's not freezing. You may not be giving it enough time to load. The sims 2 has had a reputation for hanging on the load screens. Just give it a minute, if it still doesn't load after a bit of waiting, then you may actually have a problem.@lanimarie10: Did you un-mount the disc image? If not, then that's the reason you're unable to delete the file.
karriban (2011-09-09)
@ Lisanne---0: You don't unzip anything, these are .iso files. Get a program that can recognize the .iso file extension, like PowerISO or Daemon tools. Personally i prefer PowerISO as it has proven to be more reliable. You can get a free trial of both, or you can pirate the full version of both, your choice really.Cantona118 (2011-10-03)

hi!i can not play the game...i have complete the instal but when i try to play , it messages me to put the original cd not the cory one....what can i do?please help.......does the elevtronic registation has something to do with this cause i didnt find a working key to do itpuppyloverxo (2011-11-22)
Could you help me please.. How do i properly crack it so it works? Am i suppose to download all the expansions aswell?Ruiz13M (2011-12-01)
Thank You! Works Like a Charm!! Just follow the directions closesly. These comments especially helped me when I was confused:1. Download Daemon Tools Lite, just google that, install.
2. When you "Mount" a .iso you open it with Daemon tool and install, just like you would any other normal CD.
3. Follow the install instructions and put the cd keys provided in where they belong, and follow the step by step instructions on the readme that came with it.
4. Copy the crack over from the Mansion & Garden Stuff folder to the directory where it needs to go.
5. Play and Enjoy!
@ limejelloisyummy -- The problem you could be having is with your video card. and not having the updated directx that you need. What are the specs of your computer. And as for mounting the cd, you need to do the crack, unless your going to burn the cd for Mansion and Garden Stuff.
@ lovelyhappyness -- There is some files that will probably need to be unrared. .rar files are like .zip files. So just google, winrar, download and install. Then follow the instructions from above in this comment that I wrote to another user. Hopefully everything will work just fine!
@ ukprncs -- Copying the crack means you go to your harddrive/program files->ea games->garden and mansion stuff->tsbin. Once you get to that directory then copy the crack from the crack folder over to the Mansion and garden stuff and it should work.

Works perfectly!Installed them all in order (skipping Open For Business, Seasons and Bon Voyage because they look shit) applied the crack (copy and paste the TSBin folder from the Crack folder into your Sims 2 Mansion and Garden Stuff folder which is the one that you should be running to play The Sims 2 being the last Expansion/Stuff Pack you installed) and I'm playing now :)

Thanks for this!It worked perfectly for me on Windows 7 64 bit.
People, make sure you are reading the whole read-me file! If its asking you for the Mansion and Garden disc you did NOT finish the installation process. After its installed you must copy the crack from the crack folder into the Mansion and Garden folder in your program files!
LaGolfa (2012-07-19)
Such an annoyance with so many write-protected files in the European Help folder inside the Img's. You have to use UltraIso to move all the files from the Img into a folder on your own computer and then run the autorun from there to be able to install.LaGolfa (2012-07-19)
My bad, just make sure that you got an Image mounter that can handle write-protected files like UltraISO etc (though it requires that you have it registered to be able to mount with it) and you'll be all good.jobrai (2012-07-24)

Am i only unrar-ing the the crack. If so what am I pressing. Am I adding it to archive or what am I supposed to do with it? That's the only problem I'm having. Someone help me quick. Sorry if I cam off to needy!

Everything goes great until like Bon Voyage then it says Seasons aren't installed or installed incorrectly (I tried re - installing everything like 5 time's still the same) any sugestions on how to fix this?Solun (2013-03-25)
This work great for me, thank you. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. I skipped the first step (unrar) because I don´t see any .rar files. I used Alcohol 120 trial version because Daemon Tools Lite said that I need CD 2. Installed everything in the order in the read me file including patches and crack and everything works perfectly. I cannot seed (sorry about that) because I have extremely full HDD (older computer). Thanks to everyone who is seeding.Courtastrophe (2013-05-03)

Hi, I downloaded this full set from Khaos, it worked very good, but I lost the Crack file (SIMPE!!??) by mistake. I don't want to download the whole set over again, so could you please e-mail me the link to download only the crack file??? I would be grateful for that.
