My Game Won't Play
SenkoTwiik:
I have Windows 7.
I have avast for antivirus.
caffeinated.joy:
No, I mean Windows Explorer. You can access it Windows 7 by going through Start>All Programs>Accessories, or by right clicking on the Start button and choosing 'Run Windows Explorer'.
Open the CD through Windows Explorer and double click on the setup.exe file.
SenkoTwiik:
Okay, something is going on with both Freetime and Nightlife.
Nightlife still only goes to 26% and doesn't do anything after that.
Freetime goes to 50% and then a pop-up says there's a problem. I retried a lot of times, but it still isn't operating right.
I will try it through explorer.
UPDATE:
Now Freetime is only going to 37% before it says it has a problem.
It says there's a problem with transfering the file TSData\Res\Sound\Sfx1.package
Theraven:
Are you installing the games in random order? That might have something to say for the troubles you seem to be having.
I always install my games in order (list here: http://compsimgames.about.com/od/expansionpacks/qt/sims2_exporder.htm)
In theory it keeps the previous EPs patched (it checks whether the games are patched/updated while installing). Not installing them in order should work too, but it's a bit safer to install in order.
Have you set the games to run in XP compability-mode? I had to do it on my laptop (it has Win7 too).
I've run avast on my desktop computer, and it has never bugged with my game as far as I know...
SenkoTwiik:
I tried to install them all in order, but I skipped the ones that had problems installing. I have everything installed except Nightlife, Freetime, and Apartment Life. Those ones all seem to have something going on with them.
Also, I haven't set my games to XP mode. How is that done?
(I'm kind of dumb when it comes to this side of computers)
