Title: Problem with my expansion packs. Post by: xonethousandtea on September 11, 2008, 03:10:52 am I currently have University, Nightlife, and Open For Business installed. I installed Uni first then i installed Nightlife. When i opened NL, it started with something like "You have uninstalled The Sims 2 University. If you continue...." I clicked Continue and went on. I then installed OFB next and then the same problem appears:
(http://i34.tinypic.com/2nutwnr.jpg) Everytime I install a newer expansion pack, the older exp packs get uninstalled. What should i do?:3:smt120 Title: Problem with my expansion packs. Post by: EKozski on September 11, 2008, 05:01:02 am I'd install them in order.

Post by: xonethousandtea on September 11, 2008, 05:42:31 am Okay I'll try that. Hope it works.:3 *crosses fingers*
Title: Problem with my expansion packs. Post by: xonethousandtea on September 11, 2008, 07:37:16 am Didn't work.:3 My Sims 2 isn't patched. Could that be the problem?
Title: Problem with my expansion packs. Post by: EKozski on September 11, 2008, 07:50:46 am A rule of thumb, always patch your games.
What you might want to do is, delete the Sims 2 folder inside My Documents. Then try reinstalling. Title: Problem with my expansion packs. Post by: xonethousandtea on September 11, 2008, 08:04:16 am Yeah I know that rule. But since there was this problem that pops out again when I'm patching the base game:
I downloaded the patch from the official site and 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. So I decided to skip patching my base game. Tried all possible solutions: Reinstalling, installing manually, removing customs, redownloading the patch Now I'm trying to get a new copy of Sims 2 and hope it works.

I've never had that problem. I have the CD version. Title: Problem with my expansion packs. Post by: xonethousandtea on September 11, 2008, 08:12:11 am Yeah. My Sims 2 is like soo messed up. I mean, the base game patch is soo important.=[
Title: Problem with my expansion packs. Post by: Michele on September 12, 2008, 05:15:26 am You might try copying the contents from the DVD base game installer to a temp folder on the desktop and install from there.
After installing the base game, then install its update patch. I remember reading of others with this prob on the official site a few years ago. It had something to do with errors in the installer copying some files from the DVD during install if I remember right. |
