I managed to help the Princess Royal find a copy of Sims2.
It was on her laptop and is stuck in the door. In any event it wouldn't probably work completely on the big computer (yeah, yeah, I know, it's my version of geek language - grandma geek.) So we decided to buy a new one, but she had already bought a new Sims2 add on, and most stores had Sims3, not Sims 2 .................it's a long story.
