@Ami-chan21 , try this.
Insert your Sims 2 CD/DVD into your disk drive as normal.
1) Open up your local hard drive.
2) Go to File, New Folder. Name this folder "Disk Images". Go into the "Disk Images" folder and create another folder called "Disk1." If you're installing a version of The Sims 2 or an expansion or stuff pack with multiple disks, create folders for each disk. Label them "Disk2," "Disk3" and "Disk4." It's important you don't put a space in between "Disk" and the number you use.
3) Open up "My Computer" and select your Sims 2 CD. If the autorun comes up, cancel it as well as the installation.
4) Right-click The Sims 2 CD. Click "Explore".
5) Click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window and choose "Select All." You can also press CTRL+A. Click on the "Edit" tab again and select "Copy." CTRL+C also works.
6) Head into your "Disk1" folder. Go to the "Edit" tab and select "Paste." CTRL+V works as well. Continue until you've copied and pasted the information from all the disks into their appropriate folders.
7) Find the autorun file in the "Disk1" folder and double click it. This should install the game as normal. When you are finished, you can delete the "Disk Images" folder.
Tips
If you encounter any file transfer errors when copying and pasting, try cleaning your disk. If that fails, your disk is either scratched or corrupted. You can purchase copies from Amazon, E-Bay, your local game store that sells used games or Goodwill/Salvation Army stores.
Please let me know if this works for you.
@Tremayne4260 I did everything, but when I came to #4, I right click I don't have the option to "explore" at all. On your tips, these discs are pretty old and they do have tons of scratches on them, but none of them ever failed to run...
@Ami-chan21 , so if you right click on the disk, you don't see any of the disk contents? Just asking as you may have select the contents line by line and copy and paste into the new file.
@Tremayne4260what you see is all I have that is in the image.
@Ami-chan21 , thanks for the Screenshot. Try the "Open" option as that should then show you the contents of the CD which you then need to copy and paste into the folders.
