Sadly, I tried you guys solutions and nothing happened. So, I talked to the wal-mart manager and he allowed me to get my money back. I've called different wal-marts, game stop, circuit city, office depot...no-one has the original 4-disc version, its all Deluxe. The EA Store is out of stock and so is Wal-Mart online..I'm like screwed. Again.

Okay so I installed both Deluxe and Seasons as so and I keep getting the "Please ensure The Sims 2 Seasons disc is in the CD-ROM Drive" or whatever error message upon start-up.

I was in Wal-Mart looking for the Sims 2(after I sadly sold mine on EBay) and all they had avaliable was the Deluxe edition. So, I purchased that and Seasons. Well, I installed Deluxe then Seasons as so, but I can't play it. It keeps asking me for the Seasons 1 disc even though it's in the CD-Drive. Then it just closes. I uninstalled Seasons, then reinstalled it. Same thing. So now I just uninstalled both and I'm too impatient to reinstall them at the moment. What's going on? Does Deluxe not allow expansion packs? You can't return opened electronics so I'm kind of screwed if that's the deal. Can anyone tell me what I could do to possibly get a chance to play? Thnx so much!

ROTFL! I've done that!! I was shoppin and I saw a dress JUST like the one my sims had and I nearly yelled,"MY SIM HAS THAT!!"
