I search my 6 needed entries in the above link, copy them to Notepad, and change the relevant parts, those are: since I'm using Windows XP 64bit, I added a \Wow6432Node\ "folder" after every \SOFTWARE\ entry, then I changed the referenced paths to point to the folder where I have the files (D:\Games\Sims2U\), and added a line at the top that made it a valid registry file, it ends looking like this: reg file with the data, run it, and change a key so the game sees it, then the game will run normally.Īs an example, suppose I already have TS2 and the NightLife expansion installed, and want to "install" University.

Sorry for the necromancy, but this thread is a top Google result for playing the sims 2 without installing the games, if you already have the files in your harddrive, the reason I'm replying is so that people searching in Google on how to do this can benefit (Google is full of "no, it can't be done" or "impossible, just reinstall" results), which means creating a new topic wouldn't make sense.Īnyway, all you have to do is create the same registry entries of the game that the install disks would have created if you installed normally, these registry entries point to the folders where you have the files, and to other registry entries that tricks the game into thinking you've installed it. Arr some more if you have to, or something. You could probably find out how to do such registry editing on the intarwebs, but unless you're very comfortable and well-versed in the art of editing the registry, it's not something I'd recommend trying. How did you install them in the first place? Just do that again.Īnyway, short answer is no, long answer is.
I'm not sure how "not having the CDs because they were arred" is a problem. There is, but I haven't the slightest clue how. Can i move my files and somehow get the registries on this computer? Since a few of my games are arred, such as the stuff packs. Is there a way i can transfer all my sims 2 games to another computer without reinstalling? I know it's not just a case of copy and paste,īut can i in some way install the sims 2 registries to the new computer without using the cds? Because using the cds is not really do-able
