Vista Premium SP1
Athlon X2 4400+
ASUS Radeon X1950 Pro
2GB DDR2-800


I bought The Sim 2 Limited Edition a while back, but it never worked on Vista Premium. It worked on my computer at home on XP, but not here on my Vista Prem dorm computer.

The game doesn't load. It goes through loading video thinger, and then when it reaches the splash loading screen, it never loads. The music just keeps playing, but nothing happens...

The text at the bottom with the fake loading information never appears either. The Sims 2 Body Shop works perfectly, oddly enough.

What do I do?

I hav uninstalled and reinstalled atleast five times

Dear LeftisTrembling,

Thank you for posting in the MTS2 Help section. In order to better solve your problem, please go through the following steps as listed below:

This is NOT multiple choice! You must read and go through ALL the FAQs!

• General - Do the Game Problem FAQ
  You appear to have not gone through our main Game Help:Game Problem^wiki FAQ. Please go through and do the steps on this FAQ, including any others that it links to (for example the Game Help:Game Problem-Problem Custom Content^wiki FAQ).
  
  Usually, in the vast majority of cases, actually going through and doing the steps (doing, not just reading) fixes issues - sometimes you may be asked to remove custom content, or to patch - please rest assured that all of our FAQs have been tested by our staff and volunteers and we wouldn't suggest you do something unless it's been known to fix particular issues.
  
  

Please read through all of the FAQs above! Doing only one or two of them (when more exist) will usually result in delays not fixing your particular problem.

On occasion you might be asked to do a long FAQ - please make sure you do all the steps and don't just skip over them. You'll often find that these long FAQs have all the details you need. If nothing in the above FAQs fixes your problem you may post again detail exactly which you have done and which steps failed.


Regards,
MTS2 Staff
