Teen Style Stuff installation error
Aggie:
I realize an identical error has happened for other packs (possibly EPs) in the past, but I can't seem to locate a thread that precisely outlines what i have to do to fix this.
Current EPs: all, including Holiday and Glamour. Using the UNpatched BV no-cd .exe (since I haven't seemed to have experienced the errors the patches apparently fix) to play the game. It's been so long since I had to use Daemon Tools and YASU, I may be doing this incorrectly. I mounted the MDS image in Daemon tools and fired up YASU. I then tried to install the pack, which worked just fine until I got the immortal message:
'Error during update installation. You may need to uninstall and reinstall The Sims 2 Seasons. Please make sure you back up your saved games first.'
I'm wondering if I'm going to be required to patch my BV game (with both of them) in order to get TSS to work properly, or if I need to fiddle around with the no-cd .exe for Seasons (for some reason). I have checked that the objects.package file is read-only (it's not).
Zazazu:
I've gotten that about half the time when installing a new EP. Just try to run the game. It's always been fine.
Aggie:
Well, the pack itself would then completely uninstall itself, defeating the whole purpose. :'(
Meh, I decided to do what they suggested and simply uninstall Seasons before putting TSS in. However, I now have to redownload Seasons to put it back in, and I don't know if I dare entering a suddenly Seasons-free game (despite the fact that I backed up the entire The Sims 2 folder). I'll just wait until I can put Seasons back in again and then give it another go. *shrugs*
*twitches*
*scratches head*
*goes into convulsions*
morriganrant:
TSS tries to patch seasons, you should have only needed to replace your seasons nocd (that you no longer need with BV anyway) with the original seasons exe.
Aggie:
Well now you tell me. *smacks forehead* Oh well; I'll just continue on as I have been. However, since I have Bon voyage, do I still need to get a Seasons no-CD .exe? I suppose it wouldn't hurt to have one for backup, eh?
