Download, extract, play with The Sims 2\The Sims 2 Launcher.exe.
If you're on Windows 10 or older - you need an additional program to extract this archive. Use 7-zip or WinRAR.
This includes the IKEA pack and missing songs. I took the missing files from the Ultimate Collection.
The Sims 2 Launcher.exe lets you change language and install redists. (source code)
Don't ask me for help with this game. I provide no support for it.
If you downloaded the game before I added the launcher - download it from links below and extract to The Sims 2 folder. Overwrite files when prompted.
