Making the Sims 2 work

Hey everyone. I've been playing Sims for 10 years now & my favorite game will always be the Sims 2. I have the Sims 3 but something about it just doesn't have the same magic, so I rarely play. I've always run the Sims 2 on Windows XP & I'm still trying to do that but of course it's starting to wear down. Gameplay is slow, loading times drag on, & the game randomly crashes quite a bit. I've tried playing the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection on a newer computer (Windows 7) but besides the graphics issues (which I eventually fixed), there are still other problems. Lighting is weird, paintings don't show up & now my Sims can't go to school. It's hard for me to enjoy the game under those circumstances. So I guess my question is is there any way for me to successfully run the Sims 2 at this point? The game's been around for over 10 years so maybe I'm just being too hopeful. But all I want is to play the Sims 2 so that it doesn't crash, lag, or have shitty graphics. Is that even possible anymore? Or should I suck it up & try to play the Sims 3?
