Answer 1

Candy, no problem. this happens a lot and people get it playing. You will too.

Many people get a multi-language Thai version of the game or an expansion pack. I have not had a Thai version of the game but the subject comes up so much in different forums that I keep a copy of instructions handy now.

I'll paste the solution here and include the link below so you can go check out the source where it shows this is a successful solution.

Of course, if you follow the directions, the first thing you should do is BACKUP the registry and save/export it on your desktop before changing it.

Now here are the directions to change from Thai to English in The Sims 2 game
============

I found someone else who has exactly the same problem with the Thai multi-language (E-bay) version.......and here's the solution....

Step 1:
Go to start, then Run. Type in regedit. Press OK.

Step 2:
Locate where you installed Sims 2 University. For me it was programe files/EA games.
Under language change the setting to English UK (double click the icon to allow you to change the default)
Under Locale change the setting to en_uk
Under region make sure the code is MX08004261

Step 3:
Locate the file called 1.0 (it is in the Sims 2 university file that you were just in)
Under Language make sure the value data is 13 hexadecimal (double click the icon to allow you to change the default)
Under LanguageName change the setting to English UK

Close the file and then play the game.
===============

Do register you game and you'll get to see all kinds of custom downloads! :)

Have fun!!

Answer 2

I hope of course you knew it was in Thai before hand.... If not I'm sorry but your S.O.L and I hope somehow you'll figure it out...
