Need Help with Patching
xonethousandtea:
Okay, so when i try to patch Sims 2 [I downloaded the patch from the official site, I have the DVD version], it works well until it reaches the object: "TSData\Res\ContentRegistry" and an error occurs with a message: "Error during update installation" then it closes the patch window leaving my Sims 2 unpatched. What do I do?=3
Tenshii~Akari:
Have you tried redownloading the patch and seeing if it was just something that happened during the download process to cause that?
If so and it still throws that error, try installing the patch while your computer is in Safe Mode. (access by rebooting your computer and pressing F8 before the OS loading screen comes up... then use your arrow keys to move up to the "Safe Mode" (or "Safe Mode with Networking", which loads up a little bit faster) and press enter.) :angel:

I've tried that already and still didn't work. I tried re-downloading the patch, re-installing the game, removing every third-party program but still it doesn't change the situation. I think the problem lies within my ContentRegistry File. It's 2.37kb. Does anyone has a different size on it?
Tenshii~Akari:
Is that specific version you're talking about (the 2.37KB size) the one that's in your My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 folder or your Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 2 (name of expansion pack being patched) folder? If it's in the first one, you can safely delete that one. I'm not so sure about the second location, though. :dontknow:
xonethousandtea:
Oh snap. I deleted it too but it still doesn't work. I wonder what is wrong with my patching? Patching for me is really important because without it, there'd be no Custom Content Browser and it wouldn't show custom items.=[
