    Hi there

    Try running the game using xp sp3 compatibility mode. Below is a Youtube link to show you to do this.
    Adjusting Compatibility mode for Programs in Windows 8 - YouTube

    Giving you errors? Try installing the latest patches for Sims 2 and then try Running it in compatibility mode. You should be able to find them on Google. Sims 2 patches.
    The EA Support site is down currently so cannot past a link.
    Megagames.com also has patches sometimes. Games with No name Patches | MegaGames

    Hope this helps
