    Sims 2 not opening properly


    I have played the sims 2 for a while and it has worked fine, i downloaded a few game packs okay, but when i downloaded the teen style stuff pack, it worked the first time but when i enter my cd to play and press run it doesn't run.

    however when the cd is in and i open the shortcut for the game , it opens , but all my saves are gone and my game has no expansion packs or worlds(it gives me the information but nothing happens.(when it clearly says at the launcher that i donhave expansion packs). this has happened even since i downloaded the base game- however it ran and worked fine when i inserted the cd ,but when i opened the actual shortcut it would load empty with all my saves gone. This is very irritating and i don't understand what to do. is the cd scratched (not really and it downloaded fine)? do i have to run something as administrator ? i have uninstalled the teen style stuff and im yet to download it again. i also don't mind my saves being lost if fixing my game requires to do so as i didn't spend as much time on the game.

    thank you

    :)

    Farming sim not opening

    Hello!

    My name is Dérek, I'm an independent platform consultant and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you.

    sk3nfr, let's check what that problem would be, friend.

    Select Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & Features. Apps and Features in Settings.

    Select the application you want to fix.

    Select the Advanced Options link under the application name (some applications do not have this option). On the page that opens, select Repair if available.

    Once the Reset is done, you will see a check sign next to the Reset button. And restart the PC

    Type CMD in the search bar;

    Right-click on the Command Prompt option;

    Click on Run as Administrator option;

    Then run the commands below, press Enter at the end of each line ok? :

    ipconfig /release <Enter>

    ipconfig /renew <Enter>

    ipconfig /flushdns <Enter>

    ipconfig /registerdns <Enter>

    nbtstat -rr <Enter>

    netsh int ip reset all <Enter>

    netsh winsock reset <Enter>

    1.On the desktop, simultaneously press Windows + R keys to open Run;

    2. In run, type cleanmgr and click OK to open Disk Cleanup;

    3. In the Disk Cleanup window, select the C: drive (if prompted) and click OK;

    4. In the Disk Cleanup for Windows 10 window, select the checkboxes of the presented files and click Clean System Files.

    5. After cleaning, check the unchecked checkboxes again and click OK>Delete Files.

    Tell me what appears in this test please. Download the companion xbox console app > settings > network > NAT type

    And connectivity

    I remain at your disposal if you have any further questions.

    childhood games going downhill?

    [quote user="US Revenge"]

    a lot of games they are better but gotten tired, some games have legitimately gotten worse (halo series)

    the sims on console I only played sims 2 on ps2.. but on PC it has gotten worse too, sims 3 had so few objects it was sad sim city is the same and the newest edition will fail with always on DRM.

    [/quote]you're right, the sims 2 on pc was way better. in the sims 3 no matter how hard i try, i cannot make my sim look like a badass, in fact, they kinda look like they have a *** look to them. (no homophobe) oh yeah, sims 2 had a better soundtrack.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 - Logitech X52 Pro Controller not Working

    I had the same issue... I had to completely exit Flight Sim, disconnect my X52 Pro, restart flight sim, and then open Flight Sim, go to Controls, and plug in my X52. If you try to remove the X52 while Flight Sim is still running, the workaround doesn't
    work.

    Simulation vs Arcade Style i.e. BF3 MW3

    In terms of Xbox sims, the closest to the real thing I've found was Flashpoint Dragon Rising and Red River. Well, when they're working properly, anyway.
