The exe I'm trying to run is from Mansion and Garden. All that happens is my screen resolution will change, then after about 30 seconds I'll get a message that 'the application has crashed, the application will now terminate.' Also, I have all expansions, and Family Fun, Glamour Life, Kitchen & Bath, and Mansion & Garden. I also tried the Data Execution Prevention and added The Sims 2 to the list of programs it excludes. I've updated my application with the 4GB patch and checked the config log to make sure it worked. exe file and am trying to run it with an exe I have used on my previous Win10 laptop and on my Win7 PC that bypasses the CD check (since the CD check doesn't work on Windows 10). I've tried running in compatibility mode for XP Service Pack 2, I've tried running as administrator. So after over 3 hours I finally got all the EP's installed, and I still can't start my game. I had trouble installing the game in the first place - with University, I had to do a work around just to get it to install (see my post here). This time around, I can't even get the game to start. I had crashing problems but using the 4GB patch fixed it. I have a Windows 10 PC, I previously installed it last year on a Win10 laptop with little to no issues.
So, I've spent about 3-4 hours today installing The Sims 2.
