Can we get more info?
If you're reinstalling and didn't uninstall from the uninstall icon, your problem is that the information about the previous install is still in the registry. Try going to Add/Remove Programs on Windows Control Panel, and see if you can remove it from there.
If you're getting an error message about invalid files, you've probably got a scratched or oxidized CD. You used to be able to get new copies cheap from thesims2.com, but they may have discontinued this service. Try gently wiping the CD with an old clean tshirt or similar material.
There are a couple packs that won't install out of order. If you try to install Night Life after Seasons or Family Fun Stuff after just about anything released later, you'll get an error. To fix it, uninstall (from the uninstall icon in the menu) the most recently released packs, install the new pack, then reinstall the rest.
Very important: If you have to uninstall any EP or the base game, you must go to My Documents/EA Games and rename the The Sims 2 folder to something else. When you're finished uninstalling and reinstalling, then you can change the name back. The uninstaller will delete all your saved neighborhoods and houses if you do not do this!
the triple deluxe is a different game than the Sims 2 so you can install it but they will now operated together since the Sims 1, and 2 are not compatible you cant play them at the same time or use Sims 2 expansion packs on the Sims one and you cant use Sims 1 expansion packs with the Sims 2
No you do not.:)
no you can not run sims 2 expansion packs on the sims 3 i know it would be good if you could but you cant, there is going to be sims 3 expansion packs ( world adventures.etc.)
Well you can download expansion packs... but they have to be the Sims 2 expansion packs !!! :0)
Yes :)
You can't, you must have The Sims 2 or The Sims 2 Deluxe etc. to install any expansion packs.
You cant, you must have an original sims game to install a expansion pack.
To install any sims 2 expansion packs you need to have the sims 2 installed. You cant just install sims 2 seasons for example, you need to have the sims 2 installed. It should say that on the box somewhere.
If you are talking about installing a Sims 2 expansion to the Sims 1, it is impossible. You can only install the Sims 2 expansion packs into the Sims 2, not The Sims 1 or 3.
You can't, you need the base game to play expansion packs.
Yes, There are a few sims packs to chose, sims 2,sims2 deluxe,sims 2 double deluxe. i hope it helped, tell me what expansion packs are best! babsygirl2
There shouldn't be a specific order, as long as you have the Sims 3 base game downloaded first then the expansion packs and stuff packs should be ok to download in any order.
