I bought new computer and tried to play The Sims 2 but of course it didn't work. I tried to find a solution but those solutions what I found didn't work. I tried to use it in compatibility mode but it doesn't work.
It starts but always when I try to go to play some family it says that The Sims 2 Apartment Life stopped working.
Please help me. I can't buy new computer and I don't want to leave The Sims 2 (I don't like The Sims 3...)

I don't have old files anymore and I have tried that compatibility mode, but it didn't work.
I tried year ago take those files from my old laptop but it said that the file name is too long, can't copy it so I stopped it. And now I have some expansions what I didn't have then.
