Simply enter the codes that were provided and follow the tutorial. Where it says remove the highlighted tile, the tile itself is not highlighted in the game. It was highlighted to show which tile you are to replace. In order to replace it go to Build Mode and then select the floors and select any tile. Replace the tile that the highlighted tile in the picture corresponds with.

You can try and get them to park on the street-- that's what I've been doing since I figured it out.

Try the tutorial that is in photo album form and combine it with the codes which I had provided so it'd work with your apartments

Take an island vacation and find the secret lot there. You should find a very frustrated witch doctor whose stuff is all broken. You'll have to fix it and then as a token of gratitude he'll give it to you. if he doesn't immediately give it to you build up a relationship with him first.

Are you using the medicine cabinet? I'm pretty sure with the normal mirrors you can't brush teeth or wash face. Go to decoration, and then click the icon that looks like the Therefore sign (the three dots arranged in a triangle). Go to the price range at about $280. There  is the normal medicine cabinet and the reflective medicine cabinet. Put it in front of a sink.

Great house!!

The URL for Curbside parking doesn't seem to work for me however

I was able to successfully install it today-- I don't know what happened haha. Thank you!

Okay, I just received a new laptop and tried installing The Sims on it. It's a Vista Home Premium 64-bit, and I've heard that there are problems installing games on Vista 64-bit (but I was pretty sure they released updates to fix or lessen the problem).

Anyways, I'm using the same discs I had used to install The Sims 2 on my Windows XP, but for some reason it doesn't appear to be installing properly. I couldn't find the EA Games folder in "My Documents" until AFTER I uninstalled the game, and now every time I try to update the game with any of the patches while installing it'll have this message saying there was an error and completely uninstalls. I seriously spent a whole day (11 AM- 5 AM) trying to install this game into my computer. I even reformatted it because I thought it might be a problem with SecuROM.

So, if anyone has the Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS, can you please tell me how did you install it? Did you install it using the default/basic settings or did you install using the "Advanced User" option and put it in My Documents or something? (I have installed The Sims 2 using Advanced User on my XP, so that I could put the game on an external hard drive and I never had a problem up until now!)

Some info on my laptop:
Inter Core 2 duo processor
4 GB RAM
250 GB Hard drive (191GB available)
Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit

Thanks guys!

MoreAwesomeThanYou has a guide about getting rid of Securom, and if I remember correctly I think it was while still running the game? I was considering re-installing all my EPs and just trying that out. Someone told me that if you download the game online you won't have to deal with Securom, but I hope that's not the only option of not having Securom on your comp since I bought all of the EPs CD-ROMs.

Hey JamesABrown1, when you say you regularly copy your downloads and you have had no problems with Securom at all do you mean you have no problems with Securom re-installing in your computer or you just have had no problems with Securom as a whole??

Hey everybody, I have a few questions regarding Securom.

I had initially installed The Sims 2 on a very old PC which I really didn't care too much about, and basically only used solely for The Sims. However, I recently got a new laptop and I would like to install The Sims 2 on it because the old one is about to die any second. Now, I have a lot of custom content downloaded, and I also had Bon Voyage and Free Time installed. I know Securom leaves traces on your directory, but I'm not too sure what this means. If I copy all of my old characters and my downloadable content into my new game will I still have Securom?? (Even if I only install up to Seasons?) [When I say install I basically mean making a copy of my Downloads file or EA Games file and dragging it to my new computer].

Also, I remember finding a few solutions to Securom where you'd be able to play the new expansion packs WITHOUT Securom, but I can no longer find it. I don't know if this means they don't work or not, but if anyone can lead me to a working way I'd be grateful. BeosBoxBoy's FAQ appears to only remove it if you no longer want to play the game.

LOVE THIS!!

Beautiful!! Could you please tell me where you got her hair from??

Oh my!! It looks almost exactly like her!! WOW!

Thanks for the link to the skin, I'm going to try it
