I play it that way when I am doing a lot of instant messaging. That way I can chat and play at the same time

It seems easier when I'm on here because actually right now I am on The Sims 2 and talking on here at the same time so it is useful.

You need to add it at the end of the command & don't forget the space. You can see below. That is if your Sims games is in the default location.
"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 FreeTime\TSBin\Sims2EP7.exe" -w

I still don't get how you put it in window mode. i've heard of it before, but I can't figure out how to do it.

You need to change the command line.
Right click on the sims 2 icon on your desktop.
select properties.
change the command line by going to the end and leaving a space and then add -w
then click apply
You can just copy & paste the one two posts up if it is in the default location.
