hi everyone welcome back to my Channel
today we're going to install The Sims 2.
all right we're gonna go to the website
old game downloads so you're gonna type
old game downloads on Google
let's go right there
and this website has any OPC game you
can think of
um if you really don't want to download
The Sims 2 you can download any Sims 2
or old Sims game that you like I should
say like I'm gonna type it here so you
can see all the games that it has
foreign
[Music]
these have like Sims 2 Sims 3.
there's some Castaway pet stories I mean
it has a reasons game you can think of
so if you really want to download other
Sims games you can always come back to
this website but for today I'm just
going to show you how to install the
Sims 2 ultimate collection
so I'm going to type it again in a few
minutes
[Music]
I don't know why I was this keyboard is
so hard to use when you're just using a
mouse but yeah I'm just typing in The
Sims ultimate collection
like even if you just put the Sims 2
ultimate collection it's still gonna pop
up
so there it is right there it's like
right next to Sims 2.
[Music]
and you scroll down and you're gonna
click that little download link if you
see on the left bottom corner I'm
already downloading the game I'm just
showing you where to go
so you just download it it's going to
take about maybe two to three minutes
depending how fast your steam deck is or
how fast your Linux system is but yeah
that's how long it usually takes and
it's 6.6 gigabytes so make sure you have
enough space before you download it if
not I suggest you clear out whatever
games or other items you don't use if
you really want to put this game on your
steam deck or if you want you can get a
Micro SD card just to have enough space
so you can enjoy your game so we're just
waiting for this game to download
uh yeah I got a few seconds left I
really should have speeded up this part
but
I didn't realize how long it was gonna
take so yeah we're just gonna let it
load for a little bit
and then after it's completely
downloaded you're gonna extract it and I
suggest making a folder
on your desktop so as I stated in my
previous video You're Gonna ex um
extract it to a folder on your desktop
so for example I have all my games on
this one folder so I know where to go
when I want to install a new game like
these are all my ROMs I'm not gonna tell
you how to get ROMs but
um this is where I place the folder so I
can find everything that I need to
install
[Music]
so we're gonna go into our steam library
and you're gonna use that setup XE file
I just circled around so you're gonna go
to your theme Library add game
add non-steam game I mean then you're
gonna browse
[Music]
input all files
now I'm gonna go to my desktop
and you just go home
slash deck
[Music]
I don't know who's I do oh okay yes home
desktop so I'm going to my game folder
this makes things so much easier instead
of you having to scroll for the download
so I'm going to the Sims 2 ultimate
collection
I'm going to game files and then I'm
gonna click that setup.xe file
[Music]
so I already have the Sims 2 on here but
I'm just showing you an example of how
to download the game so you're gonna go
to the set the manage and go to
properties and then you're gonna change
the capital the compatibility to proton
experimental click out of that
then you're gonna press play it's going
to load the setup and then you click the
little launch setup launch shortcut
then go to launch shortcut to launch on
the shortcut you're gonna press that
play button don't touch anything
and you know you did something right if
you see the Mr DJ repacks so once that
pops up you're gonna see an installation
window that says Sims 2 ultimate
collection you're going to click on
install and I'm gonna let you know this
takes a minute so I'm gonna speed
through this whole entire process right
here
foreign
[Music]
[Music]
that is finished we're gonna go back to
the properties Tab and we're going to
make a few adjustments
so what you're going to do first you're
going to change the name
from setup.xe to The Sims 2 you can even
say The Sims 2 ultimate collection
whatever your preference is as long as
it says the Sims 2 so
as you can see here I don't know why I'm
typing it in caps I didn't mean to type
it in caps but it's pretty much
self-explanatory just type in The Sims
2. you don't have to add a DOT XC and
none of that just leave it as is
um and then the next step we're gonna do
is we're going to change the start in
first
so I'm just changing the name right here
so you're gonna go
to browse I'm just um I don't know why
I'm just fiddling around on my desktop
but yeah you're just gonna go
um to browse which I'm gonna do in like
a few seconds
[Music]
[Music]
so yeah you're gonna go to steam apps
then you're gonna go to compact data and
then change that date modify to your
recent date where you installed the Sims
2 so for example it says Wednesday
February 1st
um I'm going to my pfx file then I'm
going to drive C and then once I go to
drive C I'm going to program files
xa86 then I'm going to miss the DJ Sims
2 ultimate collection and then I'm gonna
go to the bin folder
in mansion and Gardens because mansion
and Gardens is the last game
for The Sims 2. so if you're ever going
to install mods or anything like that
say you're going to install like the
intimator mod and things like that make
sure it's the um
mansion and Gardens Edition so yes
you're going to click the Sims
launcher.xe that's going to be your
target file
I'm going to add the dash W if you do
not add the dash W your game is going to
crash
I'm telling you you don't add the dash W
in that Target next to the dot XE
your game is going to crash every single
time so after you're done doing that
you're just gonna um
you're gonna exit and it's going to be
the same thing on your starting so you
don't have to change that so exit out
[Music]
so double check you know I was just
double checking here now I'm gonna go
back to gaming mode and I'm gonna see if
my game is gonna work
so let's switch to gaming mode now we're
in gaming mode I am clicking on the Sims
2 game I just installed this part takes
about two to three minutes uh the game
is just loading itself I had to use my
camera to film this because for some
reason
my phone I mean my camera tripod was
just not cooperating with me so I just
decided let me just use my phone and my
hands
um I mean y'all want to see with the
game is going to look like anyway so
um that's the point of this whole thing
so I'm speeding this all up
letting it speed up because it is a
process but you know you installed your
game correctly if you see this launcher
right here
so you're gonna click play
[Music]
the intro
[Music]
and then here see it says mansion and
garden stuff now originally I recorded
this with the game I installed myself
and it had all my mods in here and I was
like oh no I have to show them like the
like the the base game before anything
so here
is you're creating the pets you know the
weather because it has all the expansion
packs you know
we got bon voyage destinations and you
got free time and then you got his magic
experience that I forgot the name of it
but yeah here we are in Pleasant View
and you if you see this you did
everything right so now I'm going to
show you how to create a mods folder
for this specific game so as I stated in
my Sims 4 video it's the same thing you
go to local
go to steam
go to steam apps
go to compact data
go to that folder you make to the recent
game which is this one pfx drive C
go to users why I gotta program files
[Music]
scrolling around here but um yeah like
if you want to install like other stuff
for your mods you have to go to these
folders here but I'm just showing you
where to go if you want to change your
UI or your cursors like I did all that
off screen when I installed my own game
but
um yeah so we're gonna go back
[Music]
I'm gonna go back to the
um
[Music]
yeah see you got body shop and things
like that I was I was fiddling around
here huh but anyway
um we're gonna have a steam user
documents EA Games
[Music]
Sim TSU and that you can see here
there's no downloads folder so what
you're gonna do you're gonna create a
new folder in here so create that new
folder
[Music]
input downloads it's similar to like
when you
um put the downloads folder in The Sims
super collection for MAC because I
remember that game you had to create
your own mods holder it didn't come with
a mod folder like the PC version of The
Sims 2.
so yeah what we're gonna do here is just
put downloads
[Music]
foreign
and there we go so we're gonna click OK
if you know how to install mods
um like you do on a PC you can do so
from this point
