Teen style stuff is on its way too
Ive pictures of all my downloads and system computer specs
Also the game is highlighting inteens b package strange
Anyway the game makes a doorbell sound then freezes and crashes

Not sure Inteen is compatible with just Double Deluxe. Which version did you get? With Double Deluxe it's probably one of the versions between 11 and 15.

The Inteen B pack is commonly highlighted because it changes ingame behaviour.

It oculd most definitely be something in your downloads. Have you tried playing the game with no CC to see if the crashing issues still happen?

I think I misunderstood your first post (just a FYI, but it's much easier to understand you if you use proper grammar and punctuation in your sentences). If you have all the EPs you need the AL/M&G version of Inteen, and any other mods you want to install.  

When installing the game, go ingame and make sure everything is working fin before you start adding CC. That way you know it's not the game itself causing issues if you experience problems.

Also, doorbell sound? You mean some kind of Windows sound?

I can't see any items that looks immediately suspicious.

Im wondering that i maybe downloaded some objects like the nursery items that i dont have the expansion or stuff pack for? I think that might cause conflict? X

Its doing it even when disabling custom content! Im at a loss
Apparently it could even be a Windows 10 thing?
Ill see what happens when reinstalling it
Is there a better version of insimentator that works for newer OP?
A better version of inteen?

As Theraven suggested, try running the game "vanilla" before installing any custom contents, i.e. with a completely empty Downloads folder (not just with CC disabled). If the game doesn't work then, it says there is a problem with your install.

If it does work, then try adding in your CC a little at a time and trying the game each time you do. That will tell you which item(s) are causing problems.

Almost every mod has some requirement of the EPs it needs. When you download those mods, you must pay attention to those requirements. If you install a mod into your Downloads folder which you don't meet the requirements, it can crash your game.

You have a teen-maternity!.package file in your Downloads. I'm not familiar with that mod, but it could conflict with InTeen. Conflicting mods can also cause your game to crash.

You have txt, rtf, and rar files in your Downloads folder. Sims2 uses package files, so those other files will be ignored. It is best to move them to some other folder other than your game folders if just to avoid confusion.

Ive just reinstalled everything so starting with a fresh downloads folder i am curious as to why i got a sims 2 downloads folder and another folder saying downloads lol

Is there some sims honeys on here that are really cute that just use the base game to be safe? Xx

Im still not quite used to windows 10 lol so i cant find the override folder for inteen G package to go in when i eventually bother

Im hoping to play the sims 4 stuff soon x

EDIT its crashing and freezing on create a sim!!  Im really upset i dont understand why?? No custom in the game yet

Now its saying i dont have direct x 9, compatible drivers!! Ugh

Things are slow around here these days, so a reply can take a bit. I've never tried to play TS2 on Windows 10, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help. :\

Well according to what i have read, Lots of times the problem is with graphics cards. A good site for information and help with a graphic card and Windows 10 is LeeFish.nl so you might try there if it is likely a graphic card problem.

Otherwise I hope that you get that old PC working.

Do let us know.

I wish I could be of more help, but I use a Mac to play the Sims 2 and so I have limited knowledge of PC issues.

Some custom content and mods can make the game crash if it is not updated to the latest version, or if they conflict with other mods. I used to have a lot of issues of crashing in the sims 2, until i started testing and cleaning out some custom contents and mods, that did not work with the latest game version or conflicted with each other...The only thing you can do is to search and investigate the problem that causes the game to crash..
