Re: Sims 2: Open For Business

I am having trouble installing this expansion pack.

The open for business installs fine but then asks me to insert sims 2 disc to see if there is any updates and it then uninstalls the game.

I do not have any other expansion packs installed i just have the sims 2. 

Can someone help on how to fix this?

  • @hu770n , do you have any other expansion packs for the game or stuff packs? 

    So you can install Sims 2 Base Game fine and play it? Just checking because it could be you need to apply the fixes to the Base Game before trying to install OFB. Also what version of Windows are you playing on?

    Hey,

    nope, no other extension packs. I have no other games at all on my computer.

    yes I have been playing the sims 2 fine for a few months and just bought the extension pack a few days ago.

    the install works fine, it gets to 100% and I have the correct code as the manual is in the disc so it is not a copied one from online. Once the install is finished it asks me to put my original sims 2 disc back in to see if there are any updates needed to launch the game. When I put that in it automatically does a little update (there are no options or ways of me stopping it) and then it uninstalls the OFB pack again without any buttons enabling me to stop it, the box shows 100% installed and then gradually goes down to 0% and wipes the game from my device.

    I have not tampered with any settings in either game so if there is anything I need to do in the background I have not done that.

    i have a HP computer and it’s only 2 years old so I’m sure it’s windows 10.

  • @hu770n , if I remember correctly there is something extra you have to do to install Sims 2 to the current version of Windows 10. I'll need to research it.
