Sims 2 Installation Closed

Question

Hello,

I need help with installing Sims 2 Seasons on my mac (I hope this is the right place).

When I put the disc into my computer, it is not detected - nothing comes up on my desktop or finder (I have checked settings and its supposed to come up in those places). If I put any other disc in, it works (and shows up in finder and desktop).

I've updated all the software and my computer has the minimum requirements stated on the box of the game. On the box it also states 'This game has technology intended to prevent copying that may conflict with some disk and virtual disk drives.

I've installed expansion packs before and this has never happened.

Please help I would appreciate it loads! Thanks

YOU HAVE TO BUY THE GAME, PUT IT IN YOUR DVD; ROM, THEN CHOOSE LANGUAGES, WAIT FOR IT TO INSTALL, AND THEN WHEN IT'S DONE... CREATE YOUR VERY FIRST FAMILY!

(P.S. I DON'T HAVE THE GAME "SIMS 2" BUT I KNOW HOW TO INSTALL IT BECAUSE THERE'S THIS STORY... MY FRIEND WENT OUT, HER MOM SAID THAT SHE CAN GET A COMPUTER GAME, MY FRIEND SAID " MOM MAY I GET THE SIMS 2 "? AND HER MOM SAID " YES ". SO SHE BOUGHT IT AND CAME HOME, CALLED ON ME AND I WENT OVER TO HER HOUSE AND WATCHED HER INSTALL IT SO YOU DON'T NEED ANOTHER GAME TO INSTALL THE SIMS 2.)                       FROM, VERONICA

my problem's not like that. my problem is that I have copied all the requirements on the sims cd mac version. and when I click 'The Sims 2' icon to play that game. something poped out saying 'Please insert the original disk' can somebody help me? I have this cd for 2 months and its still now working. I'm totally confused

Hello. If you bought it at a "Low Price" that means it could be fake, especially if its not being recognized

I bought sims 2 double deluxe and it will download only so far before I get an error "A problem occurred when trying to transfer the file 'E:\SP4\TSData\Res\3D\sims13.package' from the media. Do you want to retry to copy the file or cancel the installation?" I've hit retry a million times and it does no good. It's actually hit 100% and the error pops up. I have a PC with windows XP I have enought memory and all that. I just need that file with error to download does anyone know what I can do.

Lindsay · Answer

your drive could also be dead. similar thing happened to me, only it wouldnt read the expansion packs and thats it. it read every other kind of disk. so either check it out yourself or have someone else check it for you just in case before it goes dead completely and wont read anything

WorSi · Answer

What download disk number 2 ?

EL · Answer

Hey there! Well you need a dvd rom drive, otherwise the disk wont be detected. Also ensure that the sims2 is properly installed on your PC, else it will not allow you to install the expansions. Double check the system specs aswell, coz they may cause a problem!

Ciao!

how to instal the sims 2

sims2 · Answer

Mine was doing the same thing! it said I didnt have a win 32 app or something! all my bf did was went into the c drive hit explore under sims 2 and copied the entire thing to your desktop (make a new folder for this) and once its done copying to your computer click on aunto run in the folder and install it as you normally would. and you will still need the disk you play! works fine for me!

sami566 · Answer
