Sims 2 is quite an old game, probably older than intel based macs have been available. The problem may lie there (it was written to work on the older ¨powerpc macs¨), in which case there is nothing you can do (unless there is a patch available, search for ¨intel mac sims2¨ and see what you can find)

google search rosetta for old PPC games, since rosetta is the translator used to translate PPC to intel based apps.
