sims 2 help

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.games (More info?)

sounds like you need to install Directx 9, which comes on the Sims 2 cd. You
can browse the cd to the directx folder to install it. That would be the
fastest way, or you can download and isntall from here:

I had the same problem, D3D9.DLL missing, plus some
others. The message said I needed a newer version so I
downloaded the latest directx 9.0c from Microsoft website.
This didn't solve the problem, got the same error message.
DOn't download the one from Microsoft website, download
the DirectX version from the Sims2 disc. This version must
be newer than 9.0c. My Sims2 works fine now.
