Cant reinstall University Life & Best of Business
pinkpunk:
Hello. I'm hopeful this forum can help me with a problem.
I had this installed:
Sims 2 Double Deluxe
University Life Collection
Best of Business Collection
Up until 2 days ago, when I installed Seasons. Seasons appeared to install correctly. When I tried to play the game, Seasons would load for about a minute, then I got an error message "The application will now terminate" and it did. So, I went to the EA games site and found that to fix this problem, I would have to do an complete uninstall and reinstall of all four expansions. The un-installer that came with the games would not work. I tried to uninstall from the add/remove panel and that would not work. So, I then found instructions on how to do a manual uninstall. This I was able to do, I deleted the games from my hard drive and removed the registry entries.
I was able to re-install both Double Deluxe and Seasons and both work fine on my computer. BUT When I tried to re-install University Life or Best of Business, I get an error message "All packs are already installed."
I've been trying to find an answer on how to get Uni. Life and BOB back on my machine, but my search is leading me nowhere. I've tried CCleaner, un-installing securom, copying the disks to the hard drive and installing from it (also didn't work.)
Any help?
Zazazu:
Retry in order. I'm assuming that by "University Life" you mean University, and by "Best of Business" you mean Open for Business. Do Double Deluxe, Uni, then OFB, then Seasons. You shouldn't need to do that, but it doesn't hurt to try.
I'm almost wondering, though, if there is an issue with your Seasons copy.
GelatinousSubstance:
Are you installing Seasons before Uni and Business? This may be why you're having problems installing them, considering that Seasons came out after those two.
You could try re-installing them in the date-of-release order, EP-wise and see if it helps.
The date-of-release order for these games (the ones you have) would be:
Double Deluxe
University Life
Best of Business
Seasons
As to why you had problems in the first place, I'm unsure, unless it has something to do with your computer not being able to handle Seasons.

Seasons
According to EA:
Sims 2 Double Deluxe contains: The Sims 2, Nightlife EP, Celebration SP.
University Life Collection contains: University EP, IKEA SP, Teen Style SP.
Best of Business Collection contains: Open for Business EP, H&M Fashion SP, Kitchen & Bath Interior Design SP.
I can't tell from their web site, but it appears that the release order might be:
Seasons
Sims 2 Double Deluxe
University Life Collection
Best of Business Collection
As well, I believe that they may surreptitiously install the Store EP (99) with some of the above (University Life and Best of Business). So, either the Store Edition or Ikea would be the latest released pack. Can you confirm whether you have EP99 installed? Does anyone know which EP is associated with Ikea; I know that some of the stuff packs used code from Pets, and that Mansions and Gardens uses the Apartment Life code, but I'm not so sure about Ikea.
I know that this doesn't help with your problem, but it may help the people who are trying to help you.

I'm not sure what's associated with what, but Ikea is SP8.
Should the stuff packs make that big of an impact though?
