Sims2 on Windows 7?

(1/2) > >>

Actron:
Am looking at buying a new machine in the near future, now a lot are offering bundles including Windows 7, now I know it blows Vista out of the water (am on XP here and really dislike Vista). The question is will the game and expansion packs run ok on Windows 7?

Stelio Kontos:
The only way to truly know the answer to this question is to wait until Windows 7 actually comes out.
Theoretically, the Sims 2 will work on it. (Key word is theoretically, there could possibly be compatibility issues that can, will, and should be resolved.)

satan:
word. you never know. i remember assuming that sims 1 would work on vista and being sorely disappointed when i had to run it in administrater mode and having to suffer through crash after crash. luckily sims 2 worked fine once i got my discs back, but that made me very angry at the time. of course, that was during the very early days of vista. with windows 7 who knows? i will say this vista eventually got over most of its issues, so even if windows 7 has issues at first they'll probably fix it eventually. the only question would be when.

saowens:
You could always set up a dual boot machine with XP and Windows 7. That way if it doesn't work on 7 you would still be able to play it on Windows XP

Chaavik:
AncientHighway discussed Sims 2 and Windows 7 in this thread at Simbology. He said that Sims 2 works very nicely on Windows 7 as well as the EPs he installed one at a time. SimPE ran on Windows 7 as well.

I don't think you have to register to view the thread, but I could be wrong because I am a member there and went to grab the link to that thread about Sims 2 and Windows 7.
