Trying to Install HELS into my E drive with no Luck. Resolved!
jonas:
I realize this isn't exactly the place to ask for basic tech help with the game, but I have tried the Sims3 tech forum and received exactly 0 answers in a day. Maybe I'll at least get yelled at here or something which is better than no response at all. (In honesty, I've found quite a bit of help here - so I mean no disrespect)
Recently, I encountered the blue lot horror in my Riverview and nothing seemed to make that go away, so I finally deleted my main game. Aside from re-installing, I'm completely gutting and re-doing my game and putting all the store files/other downloads into a much neater .dbc collection. I'm starting a fresh - all custom by me SV town. I thought this would be a good time to pop in HELS before I do the .dbc files and other organizing.
I keep Sims3 and WA in my E drive folder with the intention of making that entire 250gb drive devoted only to my Sims. When I try to install HELS into E - whether under Sims3, EA(WA) or just plain E - It refuses to install and states that doing so may cause instability to my system.
It tries to default to C/EA where my Spore game is currently residing (until I cannot bear that goddamn game any longer) Should I allow it to install there? Is there a better way? I no longer use the launcher to play my game, of course.
wizard_merlin:
Are you installing HELS into it's own folder or the TS3 folder already there?
If it's the latter, you will severly fuck your game, hence the warning.
I have all of my games including the sims 2 and 3 on a dedicated games drive, to keep my C drive free for other assorted shit, and it works perfectly. It sounds like you have fucked something up during the installation.
spaceface:
You don't put it under Sims3 or under WA. Put it NEXT to them in the Electronic Arts folder.
jonas:
I actually tried putting it in all 3 areas, but it just didn't work. I did try putting it next to them. There must be something I'm doing wrong.
jezzer:
If you use the default installation filepath (just changing the drive letter to "E" and keeping the rest), it should install just fine.
