Is Seasons as difficult to get running as Pets is?

[CarolJude]

I've spent the better part of a week trying to get Pets to run right. Have reinstalled everything at least half a dozen times, have Combo Patched, have gone through each and every one of my downloads, and time after time it's problem -> solved -> new problem.

It's not worth it to me just to have critters running around, so I'm going to reinstall everything to what I had before this evil that is 'Pets,' but I'm wondering if from now on it's going to be the same way if I move on to further expansion packs. I want to play, not fix. Just wish I could take advantage of more of the beautiful CC out there.

I run all the expansions up to and including Seasons, with 4+ gigs of custom content.

I've never had a problem, except with under-powered PC's and bad graphics card's and the occassional ingame error or mod conflict.

But, I've patched every single game/expansion. From base game to Seasons.

Though, my Open for bussiness CD is NOT my first one. My original, never worked. I got a bum copy and I had to replace it. The second one worked.

Maybe if you say more of whats happening with your copy of Pets, y'know, the problem can be identified.

Correction-I'm sorry, I followed the link, I didnt see that this was the Mac section. I dont know anything about macs as I am a PC user. But, perhaps it has something to do with the versions.

So happy I can answer this now....

NO!

Got my copy of Seasons, re-installed everything from start to finish (and patched) and I am in a MUCH better head now. I have faith in the future and that when I quit out of the game everything will be where it was the last time I visited.

If any new Mac people click on this thread in the same frustrated mindset as I had been for the last few weeks, here's a tip: If you've gotten Pets but haven't gotten Seasons, don't even play until you do. You'll have a much smoother time of things, (esp. if you're addicted to custom content.) Also, the whole weather thing is REALLY sweet. Thunderstorms!!
