@Shn00zle , please start a new post and describe exactly what is happening and what steps you have tried.
So I put the Sims 2 Apartment life disc in as normal, typed in the code, and it started installing. Once it had finished loading, I got the the message “this product will now ensure your existing installation is up to date”.
I pressed okay, then got the following message “The update process did not complete successfully. Installation will now terminate”.
It then proceeds to uninstall, and that’s it. The icon appears on my Home Screen as if it has installed, but when you go on Sims 2 as normal it’s not on there. ):
I’ve tried anything I’ve seen on other forums, apart from uninstalling everything and re installing because I’ve heard that might not work, and I don’t want to lose my progress.
Could the fact I’m using a used disc be the problem at all?Any help is very much appreciated (:
@Shn00zle , it shouldn't matter that you are installing from disk. I think the problem is occurring because the game is looking for the "latest patch" information from a site which may no longer exist. So, here's what I suggest doing. Google search for copies of the Sims 2 patches (there are sites that have these archived) and try applying the patches before you install the particular EP/SP.
There is another way to install the game if this doesn't work. Let me know if this works and if it doesn't I'll give you the steps to take for installing the game.
Thank you so much I’ll let you know how it goes!
