Re-install from hades - "You are running the wrong version..." - SOLVED THANKS!!
cassblonde:
Okay short story - I decided to re-install.
Decided that the old Sims2 base game I had wasn't working so I bought the Sims2 Deluxe(because you can't get the base game new anymore).
Installed Sims2 Deluxe ... tried to run it and have been told "You are running the wrong version of The Sims2. Please run The Sims2 H&M fashion Stuff instead."
I un-installed everything before I started again ... I even searched for and deleted everything off my hard drive that had 'sims' in it ... H&M isn't on my computer, I swear! /bangs head on wall/
I tried to search MATY ... honest I did! I've been at this all afternoon and can't seem to word my searches right. I'm sure I've seen this on here somewhere but I just can't find it!
/falls to knees/ Please help me! I'm begging you, someone, please!
Cass ???

:) Even though you installed Sims 2 Deluxe , I'm guessing you should have still used H and M fashion Stuff as the play disc because Deluxe is basically just a compilation of the base game and Nightlife and they were only used to run the game yonks ago ;)

Um, Bruce:

I believe that's a free pass and EA's blessing to go torrent H&M crapness.
Bruce Banner:
??? I thought she only meant H and M stuff was not on her comp now only because she'd deleted everything with Sims on it . Either way , I still doubt the Deluxe disc should be used as the play disc if this user as any expansions or Stuff packs newer than Nightlife :-\
What is your newest expansion ( ignoring Deluxe from the equation ) Cassblonde ? :)

I took everything off my computer. Right down to deleting the EA Games folder from my C drive and everything.
Then I tried installing my very old base game.
It didn't work.
I then went out and gave EA more of my money and bought The Sims 2 Deluxe.
That's not working either.
I own everything they have put out for The Sims 2 up to and including BV but I took everything off my computer and am starting over.
I tried installing H&M because I figured "Why the hell not?" and it refuses to install because I don't have Pets installed. I've tried installing University as well but it refuses to install because it says the update fails at the very end.
/sobs/ I can't take this kind of stress and wish I had never started this whole thing but now it's too late ... I'm so upset. I can't stand it when things don't work right - /weak laugh/ I guess I'm playing the wrong game, huh?
Does that help clarify a tiny bit?
