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! ThanksConfiguration: Mac OS X Firefox 3.0.3

When I put the CD in to install it and when I finish installing it I clicked the installed program to play but it keeps saying that it needs a "correct disk" and I really want to play it so will you tell me any ways to go through this???

hi josh!!were the same.when i install,i open it and it appears "please insert correct disk".my dad saids "lokal yung disk mo".,but i dont believe,i tried on other disk,it plays normally............the question is,,,,ARE THERE ANY SOLUTION?

Rawrtiger › MIGUEL ZANDRO A. LADRIDO - Dec 27, 2008 6:25am GMT

Here's your problem.
You need the mac version.
PC programs don't run with mac.
Mac has been created to only run with apple or mac products.

Hi i have the first disc for The Sims Deluxe Edition but i lost the second disc for it to download on my computer so is there any way that i can download the second disc to a file or something so that i can play?

68nudgze › babybug - May 30, 2009 9:50am BST

I'll give you the second half if you give me the first. Because I have the 2nd half and you have the first.

i would like to download sims 2 the game onto my pc, but i don't know how to. i need help!

Ok so i know this might be kind of late since you put the question on february ,but i thought there might be people having the same problem,So I'm just going to answer the question.
Ok when you buy the Sims 2 Pack , it comes with 4 disks to put on, the disks are numbered so no trouble on looking for the disks orders.
Step 1.
You start by putting disk 1 on your computer and a little window will come up (as usual) ,if it doesn't come up then just click start on the left side of your screen.

Step 2.
You go to "computer'' , there will be an icon of the Sims.

step 3.
Press it and the window that didn't show will eventually show =).
( I think that you can go on ,yourself from there.)
Hoped that helped!

hi shyramay what you need to do is take some of your programs off your computer,as if you have too much downloaded, installed or saved it could be 'killing' your computer.

rashed Jan 19, 2009 5:15am GMT

this sight is so stupid i need help getting it to work and all it is is people commiting on it! i put the disk in and it says i need to have sims2 installed does that mean i need to buy a whole other game just to play the game i just got!!~!

Ksiezyc › misa - Jan 5, 2009 11:30pm GMT

YES! Like 30 other people have said, you have to buy the Sims 2 and install it before you can install Sims Seasons or whatever it is you have. Basically, if there is anything in the title besides the word "Sims" and the number 2, you won't be able to play it until you get Sims 2. Clear now?

DO i have to install Sims original to install Sims 2 ?

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

Lindsay Mar 10, 2009 8:13pm GMT

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

how to instal the sims 2

VRONNY Dec 30, 2008 12:21pm GMT

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

hfjkshkjfh › erica - Apr 5, 2009 6:44am BST

you need to have the original sims 2 disc installed to your computer first

shan shan › erica - Apr 8, 2009 5:26pm BST

Frankie › erica - Dec 30, 2008 10:25pm GMT

You need to install the original sims 2 in order to play an expansion pack. An expansion pack is like only an add on to the original game.

Anonymous - Mar 25, 2009 7:07pm GMT

Don't be such an asshole, there is more than just "Sims 2" If you don't have the game nor its expansions don't bash on people who are having problems WITH the freaken expansions. Even more so with horrible grammar you bloody 3 year old.

MzSoloDolo Feb 25, 2009 11:30pm GMT

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.

EL Apr 22, 2009 11:58am BST

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!
