 Great game, troubleshooting tip! October 29, 2008

I think the Sims 2 is a fantastic game, I had it for PC but when I upgraded to my iMac, I decided to buy the MAc version along with various expansion packs. Really is a lot of fun, it's a game for anyone to enjoy!
I did nearly return it however, as everytime I ran the game I got black patches across my screen and couldn't see what was going on, after reading up on it though I found a solution. Right click/Ctrl click the Sims 2 application and press Get Info then in the get info window, tick 'Open using Rosetta'. Problem solved!
Great purchase.

An absolute disappointment to discover that despite having well over the recommended system requirements, the game will not play with extension packs citing "source not found" which is apparently essential to the game working properly. I found this to be extremely frustrating, especially after playing Sims 2 + University, Nightlife, Open for Business and Seasons without complications on my older Macbook. Please sort out this problem so that we can play your games to their full potential.

 The Sims 2 expansions don't work on my new AppleMac laptop! March 19, 2008

I love the original Sims, and so when I invested in a brand spanking new top of the range Macbook Pro Intel (OSX 10.5.2) I was incredibly excited to buy The Sims and all of the latest expansion packs. I patiently sat through the lengthy installation process and studiously researched any patches I might need. Does it work? NO!!! I thought it was my error, so I installed again from scratch and same thing happened! I was most disappointed - it seems that my system is just *too* modern for this game, which works only on older macs. Aspyr! Please use some of the billions of dollars you make from us suckers who buy expansion packs to update these very popular games for the future!
Overall good, but graphics problems... March 9, 2008

Firstly the game; The Sims 2 is a life sim, you create and control your virtual family in their everyday lives. There is so much you can do, but I feel the game is lacking slightly without any of the expansion packs. Still it is very enjoyable though.
I bought this to run on my 2Ghz Intel Apple iMac (4Gb Ram, ATI Radeon HD2400XT Graphics). It runs absolutely perfectly on my iMac, except for the graphics. Big patches of blue appear, as if the graphics are "breaking up" and furniture often disappears. I downloaded the patch for Sims 2, and it hasn't fixed the problem. You can live with this, but my question is, when I have a brand new computer, which very easily exceeds the requirements, and I've just paid 30 for the software, why should I have to put up with this?
