==The Sims 2 Launcher==
{{Main|Launcher}}
Starting with ''The Sims 2: Bon Voyage'', EA included a launcher to start the game. This feature is also included in [[Expansion pack|expansion packs]], stuff packs, canand compilations released after ''Bon Voyage''. It will display which Expansion Packs and Stuff Packs the player has installed, and will show a large Play button.
 
When connected to the internet, the launcher would also display news updates for ''The Sims 2'', as well as promotional material. The news display has been discontinued due to the removal of The Sims 2 website, but the Launcher still displays promotional material for other games in the series. There is a delay between the time the Play button appears and the time this promotional pane loads, and it is possible to click the Play button before the promotional pane finishes loading. As of August 24, 2013, it is '''necessary''' to do this, or to otherwise bypass the Launcher, as some of the new promotional content has been observed to cause the Launcher to stop responding.
