I have heard about people that have a second sims 2 game on another account.  How could I do that, if anyone knows?  Also, could the second game be an earlier version?

The so-called second game on another user account addresses a different My Documents folder, while using the same core files of the game.

So if you modified those core files, the changes should be noticable even on a second account.
But due to a blank My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads etc. folder, you can have a cc-free, fast loading game while leaving your fully equipped one safe and sound.

I don't know about running different EPs though, sorry.

When my son was playing the Sims2, he had his own desktop(user account) on my computer.  He would have his own folder in My Documents, different from mine.  It worked out well, because he tried more hacks than I did and I didn't want his hacks in my game.  It worked just fine except it took way too much room on my hard drive.  When he lost interest in the game, I just deleted his account and got the space back in my hard drive that I needed.

If you need to know how to set up a separate user account, just let me know.
