Can I install The Sim 2 without having to go through the whole enchilada
Zazazu:
I used a program called Aloha Bob when I got Addison to transfer everything from Diva2, my old laptop. It worked quite well and was one of those set-and-walk-away kinds of things. I just had to choose what I wanted transferred from a list after installing the program on both computers (took about 15 minutes on the slow laptop, 1-2 minutes on the desktop). Then I went to bed and everything was done when I woke up. Probably would not have taken so long if the laptop wasn't so ridiculously slow.
The retail version of Aloha Bob comes with a special USB cable.
Yeah, yeah. No shilling.
snowbawl:
Therein lies my problem; my understanding of networking my two computers is very, very limited. Call it no understanding, if you'd like. Therefore, more traditional methods of transfer (burning to disc) are employed.
@Zazazu, yes I read about transfer via USB and "special programs" which may or may not be sold in a retail setting. I was trying to avoid paying for something I do not already have. Alas, I am also looking for "easy".
Simsample:
If you have a router, plug both PCs into the router and they are networked. If you don't have a router then you would require a crossover Cat5 cable.
Yecats:
External HDD?
500gb or even 1tb drives are hella cheap these days. Plug into USB port, drag & drop onto the hdd and then move it to the new computer and drag & drop into sims2 folder.
cheaper than cds (if you're using a lot of them often) and more convenient sometimes.
morriganrant:
I use an external HD for moving, but I also back up files on it, so for me, it's really not more work to just put the files on it and then pull them off later. Everyone else probably has better ideas.
2. You can just grab that one hood if that's all you want, the only effect that should be had on it, is downloads that you may decide that you don't want anymore(that you haven't put back) and the last one created would have the highest number. Unless you have been making them, then going back after making one or two, deleting one of the much earlier ones, and then making a new one.
3. Yes, LotCatalog has the bin families and houses. If you want to make sure that I am correct, you can run clean installer on it, it will show you every house in there. ;) You can do that with the neighborhoods as well.
4. For the CEP ...well, actually, you can just grab it(plus the CEPextra files), but there is also a CEP file in the core files that it uses to work. It is the _EnableColorOptionsMMAT.package. It is found in PROGRAM FILES\EA Games\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\Sims3D, it will have to go back there.
