Title: Help! I can't install my games! Post by: rylangere on February 05, 2009, 10:11:07 pm First off, my apologies if this topic has been covered in depth elsewhere! If that is the case, a simple link to that thread would be much appreciated! I've been playing The Sims 2, Seasons, and Apartment Life pretty frequently the past week or so. I've installed a lot of custom content with no issues at all... I decided earlier today I would like to refresh one of my neighborhoods back to default. After researching how to do this, I did it successfully, but could not get the CC to work. Instead of perusing thread after thread after thread on how to fix my CC, I decided it would just be easier to uninstall all of my games and then reinstall them. Well! I did this and now I cannot get some of my downloads to work at all! I installed custom sims (from the Sims Hunks area of this site) and none of them showed up! I've never had any problems with any CC showing up before. Sooo, I uninstalled and reinstalled again... Or at least I tried to. I can't even install The Sims 2 without getting an error message that reads: "A problem occurred when trying to transfer the file F:\TSData/Res/UserData/Neighborhoods/N002/Characters/N002_User002009.package from the media. If anyone can provide any insight as to what this means, I will be so grateful!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read through this and for any help you may offer =) I really appreciate your time! Title: Re: Help! I can't install my games! Post by: Sims2Junkie1984 on February 05, 2009, 10:35:48 pm Im haveing a bit of the same issue myself I've had the orriginal, NL & Pets for a while now. I just recently got a brand new top of the line gameing laptop and all but Famly Fun Stuff & Celebration Stuff for the S2 games. I got the orriginal, Uni & NL installed no problem but when I go to try to install the rest... I cant... I am right now instaling the patches for said games to see if it helps at all because I cant even play any of them right now!

I removed the securom from the H&M SP and the Teen Style SP and was able to reinstall everything perfectly! I haven't used either expansion in a long time, but it did the trick! Thank you very much for your help! I had never heard of securom before, but I don't think I like it very much! :p
