Sooo, Does Anyone Play This Game?

Avalikia:
I actually have the Sims 2 as well, and have that working on this computer too.

That was actually harder to get to work than the original Sims - for that I just had to make it run in admin mode and windowed, but display at the maximum size it can (which is still much smaller than the screen size of a modern monitor), and you also need to Ctrl+Alt+Delete, then cancel, after it loads or all you can see is a black box even though the game loaded.

That was nothing compared to Sims 2, where the main difficulty is that I have each individual expansion instead of some sort of complete set combo.  That means that in order to install each expansion the previous expansion needs to be updated to the latest patches.  But though said patches are provided on the disc, they refuse to install.  So I ended up trying to overwrite my installation for each expansion with the files from my archived Sims 2 game from the pre-Sims 3 era, and that worked somehow.  I'm convinced that short of something like that or hackery beyond my skills, it's probably impossible to install Sims 2 on a modern PC unless you have the all-in-one combo set.

witch:
FYI: I have a modern PC but run Win7. I can install and update Sims 2 with no problems.

Avalikia:
Yeah I'm pretty sure that the fault is with Windows 10 not playing nicely with the older-than-dirt patching program and not with the PC hardware being too uber.

Bugger:
I'm running 2 and The Pudding on Windows 10. I don't have a single combo set, so it does take forever to install everything but is running fine so far.

AnarchyBlues:
Is there any way to enable the event challenges? Found a bunch of unlockers for the rewards, but nothing for the actual events.
