Re: Sims 2 DVD Rom crashing

@stitchandtigger , have you moved your Sims 2 folder from Documents? If not, move it to your Desktop as it could be interfering with the install. 

I also have an alternative method of installing the game that may work. Let me know if you'd like instructions on how.

    I would like an alternative way please.

    Though I think the issues lies with not being able to uninstall it? But I'm not the expert.

    I have moved the folder (now, thank you) but still get the same message.

    @stitchandtigger If you're not able to uninstall the game, try a program such as Revo Uninstaller or CCleaner which can help you remove registry references that might remain after uninstalling the game. That way you'll have a clean slate when you install again.

    Also, to patch the base game, University and Nightlife, you will need a program called GrumpyLoader (also available on Mod the Sims) to be able to avoid crashing that corrupts the files.
