Running The Sims 2 in windowed mode?

CDailey · Jul 24, 2007, 11:21 PM

Is it possible? I run WoW in windowed mode so I can still IM and check thottbot.com or wowhead.com , and I would like to run Sims 2 in windowed mode as well, but as far as I can tell there is not an option for windowed mode. Is there a way I can force it to run in windowed mode?

Surprised this wasn't answered.

Yes, there is a way. While you double click the Sims 2 icon, hold down the Apple (Command ⌘) key. It should bring up a dialog asking if you want windowed or full screen mode.

This is great. I love to multi-task while I'm living a second virtual life where I also multi-task.
