Yeah. My Sims 2 is like soo messed up. I mean, the base game patch is soo important.=[

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.

Didn't work.:3 My Sims 2 isn't patched. Could that be the problem?

Okay I'll try that. Hope it works.:3 *crosses fingers*

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:


Everytime I install a newer expansion pack, the older exp packs get uninstalled. What should i do?:3:smt120

Specifically, what EPs should I install to show the custom content option panel? Im not running Delxue but I have University installed and the panel still doesn't show.

Yes I tried that too and still made no change in my patching.
This is how my Sims 2 looks like without patching (I'm missing something):

Oh snap. I deleted it too but it still doesn't work. I wonder what is wrong with my patching? Patching for me is really important because without it, there'd be no Custom Content Browser and it wouldn't show custom items.=[

I've tried that already and still didn't work. I tried re-downloading the patch, re-installing the game, removing every third-party program but still it doesn't change the situation. I think the problem lies within my ContentRegistry File. It's 2.37kb. Does anyone has a different size on it?

Okay, so when i try to patch Sims 2 [I downloaded the patch from the official site, 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. What do I do?=3
