Sims Free Download Windows 10

Stress. I've owned my new gaming laptop for almost 2 days and all I have is stress. I finally upgraded laptops, my old one had lasted 6 years, and it was time to retire her while I could. And I bought one from that fancy smamcy company. And it came with windows 11.
Good news. I figured it out. And it was all thanks to you for raising your issue, thanks to dear @mate54 for linking the TS3 solution and thanks to person sharing the fix of course. I am sharing the solution right away with instructions.
1 - Open your Windows' Notepad application. Regular notepad, nothing fancy. Copy and paste the code. In your notepad window, click on File from menu and select "Save As". When new window pops up for you to save the file, select "All Files" as Save As Type. Also give a name to your file (any name, just pick one). At the end of the name you have given to your file, add ".ps1"
Then I learned that windows changed a powershell security setting to block you from running your own scripts. Aha! I found the solution and voila! my beloved Sims Medieval is working again. Here is the solution: (Yes, not for Origin but for the "EA App")
Again, for my solution to work you need to be using gen12 intel CPU for some reason. Again, remember to keep your powershell window open in the background while you are clicking on "Play" button. As it seems, problem wasn't with the EA App but rather with Windows Powershell Security updates.
@LBonne24 , I can help with Sims Medieval, but not Windows 11 as I'm on a Mac and don't own Windows 11. Do you own Sims 3 and does it play ok? Both games share a similar architecture and if your computer can run Sims 3, it should be able to run Medieval.
@LBonne24 According to your dxdiag, your laptop has a 12th generation Intel CPU. Unfortunately, The Sims 3 and The Sims Medieval won't run on it without some extra tweaks. This has been reported by every 12th gen CPU owner, and your best chance is to go through this Sims 3 forum post and see if there are any solutions for The Sims Medieval.
@LBonne24 , PowerShell is a newer version of the Windows Terminal app that was a part of the Windows code that that allows you to access the inner workings of the OS. It appears that this script allows you to run Sims 3 and probably Sims Medieval on newer computers. You can Google exactly what PowerShell is and ways to run the and install code to get games and programs to run on the computer. I would post links, but forum rules do not allow for linking to YouTube or other outside sites.
After the Star Wars patch that EA rolled out, something happened to pretty much every custom content door and window out there that caused them to clip improperly, making it pretty much impossible to build with them.
Back in November, the creators of Sims 4 Studio released a new tool that could essentially run a batch fix on any and all CC windows and doors that were broken because of the Star Wars patch. Which means that if you installed it and ran the batch fix, it would spot any window and door files in your Sims 4 Mods folder and make sure they clipped properly again.
Recently a Patron of mine was having trouble getting the 4GB patch to apply. We tried literally everything I could think of and her memory would not change in the Config Log. I have had several comments and emails about this too.
Drag the .exe file from your TS Bin to your desktop and apply the 4GB patch there. Check your log file to make sure it applied. Your memory should be updated. Then you can use the shortcut you just created on your desktop to play the game.
If you have the disc version of the game, it might be necessary to move the .exe file to another folder. I have no idea why this is necessary for some computers and not others. If nothing else works, try this!
Today I saw an older post mentioning Securom and even though the Origin Ultimate collection supposedly has it removed I decided to try the Removal Tool and though it said no Securom elements were detected I ran it anyway & now my game is running smoothly.
You probably need to change your resolution in the game settings. Go to the graphics settings in-game and choose a bigger resolution. Also, make sure you used graphics rules maker so a bigger resolution is possible with your graphics card. Hope that helps!
Hi Cindy! I just wanted to stop by and say that I recently found you after researching issues with the game. I had to replace my video card and my game was NOT working properly. As a Sims 2 addict, you can imagine how horribly that impacted my game play and Sims life ? You saved my years of play. I personally cannot thank you enough for all you do in your blogs and videos. Wishing you the best and just letting you know what you do/did made a difference.
Hello!
I installed the patch and it worked (I used to have the pink glitch in the neighborhood view and in-game). But I now realized the pink glitch occur on community lots ?
What can I do to fix that?
Hey Cindy, so I do not really know if my settings are now correct. After applying the 4gb patch my memory ist constantly at 4096, but my free memory is switching around after I opened and played the game. It is still pretty high and switches between 3800 and 4096, but it is not constantly at 4096 and that concerns me a little bit. I also already tried moving the .exe file to the desktop and into another folder, but it did not change anything. Before I mess more with my game I wanted to know if I actually need to or if my memory is fine that way. If you could help me with this I would be more than gratefull!
hey guys, i had recently purchsed the sims 2 CD and ive been trying to install it but everytime i try theres and error with the files being moved so it never actually completes it!!
helppp meeeee
Hi, Cindy!
Thanks for all your work on The Sims, thanks to you my game runs perfectly and looks great on Desktop Computer.
But I have this problem on my laptop. Wherever I install The Sims 2 Base Game, it works fine. But when I try to install expansion packs, it tells me, that the base game isnt installed even though it is. Due to this I cant even uninstall the game because it basically doesnt exist. I write this here because I thought the 4patch could help, but it just doesnt find the game. Would you know what to do?
Thank you!
Also, my game was lagging a bit after installing the GRM; I buy something, for example a bush by the grave, and suddenly some spots from the ground disappear for a moment!? Is it something to do with GRM, or how am I going to fix this?
Hi Kendall! The steps for applying the 4GB patch are the same for the Disc version as for the UC. The path to find your .exe is just a little different. You need to go to Windows (C:) > Program Files (x86) > EA Games > The Sims 2 Mansion and Garden Stuff > TSBin
I tried that too, but it also could not fix the crashes and the pink lightning glitch :/
I also contacted Jenna from the helpful thread for these issues, but she said basically, that Sims 2 is a mess for Windows 10 and that i mostly cant do anything. Thats why she uses Windows 7.
Do you know how to fix the Windows 10 Bug that i can use the exe-file in the TSBin-Folder with 4GB Memory OR how to make the graphic rules maker find the exe-file in the CSBin-Folder? I sadly cant play the game atm.
Tried lots of various things including installing DirectX 9 libraries (drivers are fully updated and the version of DirectX is 12). Still getting the same issue. Tried solutions described in your article with no apparent result.
Hmm. The only other thing I can think of is you might try moving the .exe file. This works for people with the disc version, but it might work for you too. You should definitely be able to use more than 1GB RAM.

If you own a copy of the original game, please use that instead. The only thing you will need is the modified sims.exe file for the final step. That can be downloaded from here
Hi I run windows 11 home and after installing the following updates, 2023-10 Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB4023057, 2023-11 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 22H2 for x64 (KB5032007), 2023-11 .NET 6.0.25 Security Update for x64 Client (KB5032883 and 2023-11 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5032190), experiencing game issues with EA Sims 4, there is no sound on load screen until after clicking the loaded mods pane, everything was perfect prior to updating, I have to keep running repair game option in EA app every log in which fixes it whilst my pc is up and running, but when switch pc on again same issues arise, it is though windows changes the EA game repair? I also have had a couple of game crashing to desktop when loading the game, also been experiencing very slow game loads and game saves after the windows update? i have reinstalled my gpu drivers, ran sfc scannow, reinstall realtek drivers all to no avail, due to these updates my nvme drive had to update firmware version due to incompatibility with new windows updates all of which which was fine as backed up all my game files prior to that, no issues found anyway after that, but I cannot now get Sims 4 to run properly and and as smooth as before, any ideas anyone, the EA app game repair fixes but only whilst on that session, also my PC now runs slower than before the updates
