Mari, I don't know. I run the game on Windows 7. I did have to bypass the Launcher to play the game. A Google search does reveal issues with running Sim2 on Windows 8 (and possibly 8.1) that date back to 2013. I did ultimately find a link to the "Mod The Sims" website (http://modthesims.info/t/500523) where they describe a process of doing a clean reinstall of the game and setting each installed expansion pack to run in Compatbility Mode for Windows XP, Service Pack 2 (not Service Pack 3), see the link for details if interested.

I've heard the double deluxe works fine on windows 8 and 7. because the sys requirements were raised a little higher on the coding on the disc so it should work. It works fine on my win 7.

It works on Windows 7 and Mac OSX without any problems. It should work on Windows 8 just fine.

Yes, it works just fine on Windows 8, I use it quite often between my Win7 laptop and Win8 desktop... no issues

I have it working on XP and read that it will work with Windows 7 (only on a 32 bit formated computer). I'm doubtful of Windows 8 working.

No it doesn't eventhough they advertised it as working with windows 8. In hindsight, it appears that this product is older and was used for windows XP.

I have tried every way possible to load it on windows 8 and to answer your question NO it will not work. Anything below it works.

I am running it on my Windows 7 Sony Vaio, so I am not sure if it works on Windows 8 or not. Sorry.

It will work on Windows XP, Vista (possibly) Windows 7 with an upgrade, butwith Windows 8 I am not sure, don't think it would.See here btw: http://www.amazon.com/does-work-windows-8/forum/Fx3FT184QV8DH8V/Tx1BSDE9G83P47K/1/ref=cm_cd_dp_aar_al_a?_encoding=UTF8&asin;=B001V7AYLG

Hi. It's been awhile since my purchase and I gave it as a gift. From my understanding, it did not work with Windows 8. Hope this helps.

It should work with windows 8 provided you have the necessary software. I believe this is an oem sale so software is not included. That can make it very pricey.

I have the latest version of windows, 8.1. Yes it works on 8.1 operating system.

Yes it does. I've used it on a windows 8 system with no problem. Just plug in and use.

Yes it's made to work on windows 7. I have not tried it on windows 8 but I am very sure that if it works on windows 7 it will work on 8. Both Windows have the same arquitecture only the GUI is different. Hope this helps

as long as you don't have windows 8 it should work fine. I hate it that I can't get it to work on mine with Windows 8 so solutions so far...
