Recently, I've had some trouble exiting the game. The screen freezes and then I have to use ctrl-alt-delete to get back to my desktop. This also happened when i tried to move a family into an apartment. The hourglass/mouse just kept turning and turning and I had to reboot the computer. Anyone else here ever have this problem?

got the problem fixed now.

I am quite sure that this problem doesn't only happen to me. My disk is not a pirated copy (i ruined myself to buy it), yet everytime i insert it and try to play, a error message pops up and says
"There is no disk.
Please insert the original CD/DVD of freetime."

Thus I ask "any advice?"

P.S I am not sure if there is already a thread about this problem.

Well... the problem still persists. i tried uninstalling all my games and now the computer won't read any of them!

Well now i managed to reinstall them but when i try to play free time, it aks me to put in the original disk, even though i am playing with the original. Any ideas?

I have recently brought Sims 2 bon voyage (today in fact). However when I but it in, the computer had no reaction when normally a pop-up should appear asking me to install the game. This isn't the first time this has happened. It also happened with my free time game.

Any advice?

I quite agree. How about when the sims get "very old", they can get dementia, bad gums and might have to go to the retirement home?

I also agree with the more diseases and was thinking that maybe we could have a range of mental illnesses, or personality disorders. I would really like to see a sociopath rather than a sim with low nice personality points.
