Hey, great work. Thanks alot

Hey, l have had problems with that patch too, l find it works better without it.
Cheers

Hi Snapsit,

Thanks, l wondered if that may be some of the problem.  I have it working now thanks, and waiting for the new expansion pack to fix up BV.

Cheers,

Hi,

Thought l will update.  I have installed the two expansion packs, Pets and seasons.  I found some information on Mod the sims2 web-site about manually installing, which l have done.  If the CD files do not show up on windows explorer, then they will not load, so l copied the CD into a file called Disk2 from my old compter.  
Disk one is copied into a file called Disk1, and both these files are stored in a file called Disk Images.  (l transferred the Disk2 file from the old computer wich could read it).  Open Disk Images, then open Disk1 and autorun, it will install as normal.  This l have done with both expansion packs. I have tested it, they seem to be both installed, but so far i have had no weather, no snow, etc.  I will continue to test it.  I hope it has all installed properly, but l am not willing to fiddle with it yet.

Cheers

Thanks for your tips Snapzit.  I am at this stage a bit reluctant to unload everything again, just when the game is settling.  However, l wonder if the problem is something else.  I say this because it is the second disk of Pets and Seasons that will not load, and their contents do not appear under internet explorer.  

Cheers

What l mean is l cannot install Seasons or Pets in the game, to add the expansion pack, you can do this after Bon Voyage.

HI, I hope someone can help me.

I have a new computer, a Quad-core processor, graphics Nividea GE-force 8500GT, XP.  When l loaded everything (l have all expansion packs, some stuff packs) up to Bon Voyage, it kept crashing and then became unplayable.  I unloaded it, updated the video card, and reloaded.  It works fine now, except l cannot load Seasons or Pets.  The second disk on both these packs will not load, and you cannot do it through windows explorer.  They load fine on the old computer, l have tested it.

Question, is it the processor?

What to do?

Thanks
