Re: The Ultimate Collection - Sims2pack files problem

I totally messed up my Sims 2 yesterday by going onto Orign and playing the Dexlue.  Now II can't play either game.   I uninstalled the Deluxe and Ultimate collection is just a blue screen instead of loading the game.  Have Windows 7 but don't have 'open with'.

Thankyou

Thank you thank you thank you....been pulling my hair out trying to make this work!

Hello , i hope someone still can help me in here as i try this yesterday and got to install the Sims2pack and the icon now shows that one from the Body shop , the problem now is that whenever i double click the packages type files , they just don't open and i am not sure what to do , i did what the other guy said about entering the .exe on the installerpack but still nada....please help me D :

@jonsnow1792 , your best bet now days is to go to Mod The Sims and download the Sims 2 pack Clean Installer which will help you to install CC into the game as well as checking for dodgy CC. You can Google search for the site.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

@ChronosymTried to d/l cc to Sims2 UC using these steps on Windows 10 but a blank box appears. Are there different steps for Win10?

@SIMSTER00 , no there aren't any different steps for the basic game installation. My advice to restart Origin and possibly clear your Origin cache. The only things you need to make sure you do to get the game to run properly. Make sure you download and install Graphics Rule Maker which insures that the game recognizes your graphics card. Any questions about installation and use of Graphics Rule Maker can be found at Leefish's forum (you'll need to Google search for both) and the 4GB patch. You can find excellent videos on YouTube about how to make sure that the game runs smoothly. 

I did that in the game is running fine but when I try to double click on the Sims package file another box opens and it’s blank so it’s not letting me open the file to put it in the folder so it will show up in a game do you know any ways to fix that?

@SIMSTER00 , there are two kinds of Sims 2 CC files. The first one ends in the extension ".sims2pack". These are the files that require the Sims 2 installer or Clean Installer to add to your game. Think of them as .zip files.

The second kind end in ".package". These files are already "unzipped" and ready to simply be placed in the Download folder. So if you have a piece of CC called for example "redsweader.package", this file is ready to be placed in the Download folder in your Sims 2 folder. If you do not have a folder named "Download", simply create a new folder with this name and add it to your Sims 2 folder. 

Okay will try. Thank you so much for your help! 🙂 

@SIMSTER00 , most welcome! Please keep me updated. 🙂
