This is turning into a rabbit hole!
So the patches wouldn't work on the game as there was a problem with the original file's. The solution was to uninstall and reinstall! Which i have done, but due to issue's have used both the auto install and the copy disc and auto install options. Both are leaving me with "you are running the wrong version of The sims 2. Please run Blah instead" Blah has changed a couple of times after different installations.
I have also ran the Patches I got from Mod the sims website and a patch TS2 Update.
If I was less stubborn I would give up!
@stitchandtigger , here's something I've found works great. Ok, unistall Sims 2 once more. Next thing to do is to install just the base game and patch it. Start up the game and see if everything runs ok. Repeat for next Expansion/Stuff pack. (I know time consuming). However, this will insure that your game is properly patched. Finally, patch with the 4GB patch which should help the game to run better and Graphics Rule Maker as well. Graphics Rule Maker can be found on SimsNetwork. Make sure to get the latest version as this will allow the game to recognize newer graphics cards and allow the game to run more smoothly.
Well there in is the issues, every time i try and start the base game I get "you are running the wrong version of The sims 2. Please run Blah instead" Blah changes almost every time, and it's symbols I'm unsure how to type!
Unsure if it's related but when I try and uninstall the Sims 2 I get "you currently have one or more expansion packs installed. you must uninstall all expansion packs before uninstalling the sims 2." But I have already uninstalled all expansions and none are available on my system to uninstall.!
@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.
What do you mean by patch it after you install it? What specific patch do you mean
@Hazy3590 , there are a couple of patches that were released for the game. There is the 4GB patch as well as patches for the different EPs. You can find them if you do a Google search for them.
