tastefuldestiny 0 Posted March 16, 2006 Every time I put the Sims 2 DVD/CD into my DVD-Rom it starts up fine until I go to get into a neighbor hood, then it just freezes up... I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it doesn't work... when I first installed the game it worked fine, created my own neighborhood and sims, then less then 24 hours later it keeps freezing up on me when I try to get into a neighborhood. I have installed the patch, but nothing works. The game is borrowed from a friend of mine so it is not registered could this be the problem?
