Okay so i came here to read up before even trying to install seasons. I saved all my files and took out all my hacks. I was reading the install guide and saw a part that looked pretty important about NOT installing seasons in the same directory as the other sims2 game. So I made very sure not to do that. I tried launching the game and am getting nothing I get the seasons splash screen then it goes away and then ...nothing thats it. I open task manager and the program does not show up but if I try opening the game again I get the make sure sims2 or some other sims program is not running then try again screen. Again seasons DOES NOT show up in taskmanager even though apparently the system thinks it is running when I try to run the game again.
What i am afraid is that i misunderstood the thing about where to install the game. See I took it to mean not in the same directory period as in all my other sims2 expansions are under F:\Program Files\EA GAMES and then each has its own folder within that. When I installed seasons I took the warning about the directory to mean that directory as in F:\Program Files\EA GAMES
So when i installed it I installed it in K:\Program Files\EA GAMES
So again I think I may have misunderstood and I think my issues are because the game is just not being accessed properly since it is in such a different location than the other expansions. Can anyone confirm or deny this for me? I feel a bit silly obviously...
