Technical problems with THE HORROR: downloading, installing, and running it
TashaYarrr:
I'm actually more of the usenet binaries persuasion than torrenting (the first rule of fight club...), but thank you for the information.
If I wasn't sitting in a cabin with dialup speeds I'd have it going now. :)

TashaFaun is correct about the wait time, I canceled my download from TPB, after about 15 hours I was still only at 42%, I am now downloading from seedgames, and after only 2 1/2 hours I am at 60%
*Shakes fist at your better net connection* TPB one was at 42% after 48 hours and I'm on 60% from seedgames after 6 hours. BOO! :D
Sorry, but shake fists at my mom, she lives next door and I tap into her net connection. Why pay for my own when I can use hers..lol
Solowren:
It looks like my game is hanging again--this time during moving two just-married Sims in with each other. It has been "processing" for at least 5 minutes... I doubt it is supposed to take that long.
Lame. I have not saved in a while. Learned my lesson the hard way.

Well, I trotted over to Mininova and someone pulled the torrent I had downloaded, along with all the comments associated with it. Or they have hidden it and I can't find it. But the newest torrents listed all have a May 21, 2009 posting date. Sooo, it looks as if EA yanked it. I am going to find a different one to download and hopefully it will be more in line with the ones all of you have, and the installation won't be quite so confusing. Well, I can hope, can't I? :-\
You said everything went to My Documents. What did that stuff look like? It sounds like you might have everything you need and just need to install.
There are no ISO files anywhere that has a big arrow pointed to it. Everything that is in there are dat files. I have started a new download from seedgames that is in WinRAR form and says it has a separate ISO file as well as the crack file. I think this one will be easier for me to understand. I want to do this right so I will learn from this experience. I am anxious to play the game but knowing how to do this has become my biggest priority. Kinda like a game, you know? I have learned quite a bit from this little adventure. Thanks for checking in. I'll be back as soon as the download is finished. ;)

I had a similar problem as Solowren. The neighborhood cache file would not install and I had to press ignore. However the issue was not that it wouldn't transfer, the issue that it was reporting was that the file was not the same as the file in the Data.cab files. I don't suppose someone can upload that file for me so that I can be sure that I have a working one? I'd hate to have to go find another torrent or re-torrent the one I did find. I thought everything was fine, but after making a sim and sticking her on the most expensive lot, every attempt I make at putting down a foundation crashes the game. It seems to only be that lot. Has anyone tried building on the most expensive lot yet?
Ah, and if anyone has weird graphics issues with the trees, that they look pixelated but everything else is fine, try changing the resolution. Apparently only two of them work on my machine.
