Title: Sims2 on Windows 7? Post by: Actron on July 19, 2009, 10:16:54 pm 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?

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.) Title: Re: Sims2 on Windows 7?

Title: Re: Sims2 on Windows 7? Post by: Chaavik on July 25, 2009, 02:17:53 pm AncientHighway discussed Sims 2 and Windows 7 in this thread (http://www.simbology.com/smf/index.php?topic=4680.0) 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.

Title: Re: Sims2 on Windows 7? Post by: HappyThoughts on May 03, 2010, 12:50:53 pm Now I'm not a computer tech by any standard, BUT , I do know that Windows 7 professional comes with an xp mode. Meaning any xp formats can be ran on it. Its a nice little feature, that isn't that much more expensive. (atleast not where we found it) We (my husband and I) are waiting on 2 new pc's as I speak, after 7yrs it was time for an update. So anyone concerned about installing any sims 2 game or older pc games might want to look into the Windows 7 professional package, just incase *like Vista, you find a few issues. If I'm incorrect in this please let me know, I'm quoting my husbands research on this.
