								 Hi,  I'm having alot of trouble installing Sims 2 on my dads p.c... After picking 'English' language, the game then stated that I must have administrative privelleges to install the game.  So I got my dad to give me Administrative Priviledges... Then it asked me to enter the 'entire code' (20 charectors long) on the back of the user guide book, so I punched in this code. Then the disc spun a bit...
  Now here's where the difficulties (my problem) is:- 
  It then asks... _______________________________________________ 'What type of user are you?'
  # Typical User - Default directory (C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Deluxe)
  # Advanced User - Select directory
  [C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Deluxe]                                                                 [Browse] Install Size: 4097.61 MB
  [Next>]    [Cancel] ________________________________________________
  If I choose # Typical User - Default directory... Then I get this...
  'There is not enough space available on drive to install the game. Please free up some space or change the target location to a different disk.' [OK] _________________________________________________
  If I click on # Advanced User - Select directory... Then the browser link becomes active ready for use... I then can select any of the following options...
   - 'My Desktop'  + My Documents  + My Computer  + My Network Places  - Shared folder __________________________________________________
  If I select 'My Desktop' or 'My Documents'... It enters in the brower box this...
  C:\Documents and Settings\ralph\Desktop
                       or
  C:\Documents and Settings\ralph\My Documents
  And when I click [Next>]... I get this message...
  'Cannot install to the selected directory because it may cause the system to become unstable.' ___________________________________________________
  If I choose 'My Network Places' or the following alternative in-options for 'Entire Network' and 'Microsoft Windows Network'...
  It doesn't select anything and on clicking [Next] it reads (again like before)-
  'There is not enough space available on drive to install the game. Please free up some space or change the target location to a different disk.' [OK] ____________________________________________________
  Last option left... If I try 'Shared Folder' it gives me this again...
  'Cannot install to the selected directory because it may cause the system to become unstable.' ____________________________________________________
  I've tried making room by deleting a few things and have tried making a New Folder titled 'The Sims 2' but it gives me the same brick wall messages.
 
  Can anyone tell me what I need to do, to get this game installed? On my dads computer we all have our own user accounts, there's about 7 or 8 accounts. Usually when anything new is added to the computer - we All get it in ech of our accounts - like an updated Windows media player etc...  I'd like to install this game into my account only - if possible, so that others doen't have access to screw around with it. But if anyone can tell me what I need to do - to get around this current problem first, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! Ralph

								 Hi, I'm new to this website and I need some advice please...
  See, I love creating celebrity faces/charectors on the Playstation 2 game - 'Smackdown-Shut Your Mouth', however it's tools for creating faces etc have got quite old now compared to some of the great celebrity lookalikes I've seen created on here - Michelle Pfeiffer, Natalie Mendoza etc...
  My Problem...
  I don't even own a Sims game yet, I bought one years ago for the PS2- thinking it would surely have better creating tools than 'Smackdown'... However I soon found it had even less freedom for creation, less options and poor graphics. Also in game play seemed very high and far away angles - so even if there was detail, it wouldn't have been able to be seen. It may have been called 'Sims - Busting Out' although I can't remember for sure. 
  Help I need...
  Can anyone here- who knows what Sim or other game I need to pick up tell me what is the one used to create these awesome likenesses I see created for this website? Or is there some kind of special device used to link a Playstation 2 up with the P.C in order to make these creations possible?  Do I need some kind of code breaker machine or something? To be honest I don't know sh#t about computers. I was hoping there might simply be a Sims game (for the p.s2) that has total freedom of creation to make these celebrity lookalikes. If so, maybe someone here could tell me what it's called? Thanks Ralph
