I tried this and downloads work now but there is a unique problem. All of the women have a penis!! They look and act like women but talk like a man and have a penis.  LOL. I'm sure it is just a conflict of some kind with the crammy boy download but I don't know how to fix it and it is just bazzar. Any suggestions?

Thank-you. I was a bit confused on the install. I read that cep program has to be installed on the aplications folder to work. So thanks for the help. Vikki

Thank-you I will give these a try. Vikki

clatoo13 Where did u get that 1.0 Rev C patch? Also Which folder did u drag and drop the Sims 2 with the extension packs, body shop tsdata ect. or the folder that is ea games? I am having problems getting my game to play on my new intel imac most cc i downloaded wont show up. thanks

I just bought a new Imac with intel core duo. The problem is some of my downloads are not showing up in the game. The hacks all show up but my hair, clothes, makeup and other files do not. Does anyone have a solution? Should I put them is another place other than the downloads? Aspyrs only solution is to use that **##@@ combo patch, which is a piece of @#**. With the combo patch NONE of my downloads show up in the game, so I reinstalled all without patches with the exception of Pets. I can't play without my favorite hair, clothes, and makeup!!! UGH!! My computer is G5 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 3 GB ram, ATI RadeonHD 2600Pro graphic card/256 MB ram. Aspyr said the games are not updated to intel so I hope someone out there knows how to make things work. Thanks for any help I can get. Vikki:smt120

Hi yeegreen, I have a mac also but don't have trouble downloading or using any of the files from this site or any others. Most of the sites are mac friendly, I have downloaded and used content from many of the other sites without problems.Could be a conflict with your mac. You might want to try repairing your disk permissions. Go to utilities, launch disk utility, under first aid select your main hard drive volume and hit repair disk permissions. Once this is done reboot your mac. Just a thought. Hope it works. : )

Here is communication from Aspyr when I was having trouble with my game crashing. This is about the combopatch. Also to install in this order: Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open for Buisness, Pets, Glamour Life Stuff, Seasons.
Hope this will be helpful.
Hello, Vikki. Thank you for contacting us.

The issue you describe may be the result of a bad installation, a data error, a problem with a saved game file, or a conflict on your hard drive.

First, try repairing your disk permissions (if you have not done so already). To do this, open up your hard drive, open the Applications folder, go to Utilities, and launch 'Disk Utility'. Under 'First Aid', select your main hard drive volume (usually labeled 'Macintosh HD') and hit 'Repair Disk Permissions'. Once this is complete, reboot your Mac.

If this fails to solve the problem, I would suggest fully reinstalling the game, and making certain all related files are removed to ensure a clean reinstall. Trash the main game folder, located on your hard drive. Check several other locations for files relating the game, and remove them. These include:

Users/Shared/EA Games/The Sims 2/
Home/Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/
Home/Library/Preferences/com.aspyr.thesims2.plist
Home/Library/Preferences/com.aspyr.thesims2bodyshop.plist
Home/Library/Preferences/com.aspyr.thesims2packageinstaller.plist

Note that 'Home' refers to your personal account folder, an icon that looks like a house and is labeled with your user name.

Once you are sure all of these files are removed and the Trash has been emptied, you may reinstall the game. I suggest placing it inside of the Applications folder on your Macintosh HD.

After reinstalling, run the Sims 2 at least once. Before installing any expansions, and then after every new expansion you add, apply the Sims 2 Combo Patch: http://support.aspyr.com/index.php?x=&mod_id=2&root=201&id=490

Finally, make sure you have downloaded all of your Apple Software Updates. Ordinarily, this occurs automatically (through a prompt you receive every so often), but it's important to check these often. Updates, including Quicktime updates (which can affect many games) are also available on Apple.com.

If after this, issues continue to occur, there may be something that you have on your system causing a specific conflict. At this point, I would suggest completely uninstalling the game again, and reinstalling once more, but this time, to a separate user account on your Mac. If you do not currently have one, you may create one through your System Preferences, under 'Accounts'. Make certain that the new account that you make has full permissions to administer the computer. Once it is created, reboot your Mac, log into this new account, and install the game there.

Please let us know if you have any further questions. Have a great day!

I need help installing the Sims2 extensions I am new to window I have an imac G5 which I have been playing the sims2 on but got a laptop and I am sooo lost on how to install on my laptop. It is an HP Pavilion dv9500 has NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS intel r core 2 duo cpu T7300 2.00 GHz. 32 bit operating system, 320 gb hard drive, 2gb memory so im sure it is compatable. I just don't know how to get the extensions to install without getting an error and having to stop the install it is supposed to install the extensions somewhere other than where the original sims2 is but I am lost as to the functioning of windows. Please can someone help me get them installed?! I have all extesions up to bon voyage with the exclusion of the small packs. uni, nl, ofb,pets, seasons, then bon voyage. Thanks to anyone who can help.
Here is the error I get trying to install University at 68% (a problem occured when trying to transfer the F:\TSbin\Ts2UPD.exe from the media). What does this mean and how can I get the extensions to install? I may just go back to playing on the mac soooo easy to install and play. But people say how much better the sims2 is on windows but not if you can't get the extensions to install!!!!

Turned out to be a defective CD,  I tried installing Nightlife and it installed!!!! I will go buy another University disc tomorrow then install all the others and hope they work. Guess I should  have tried installing others before. LOL

Very nice. Will have lots of fun with you!!!

Yummy!!

Very Sexy, I love it!!
