Nice to have found this oasis of information; a refreshing contrast to the inanity of the Sims BBS.
Against my better judgment I purchased Nightlife; thought I'd wait for the Uni patch first, but my curiosity got the better of me.
Am running a Dell Dimension 8400 with 1GB Ram, Pentium 4 processor (3.2GHz), 80 GB HD (half empty) 128MB ATI Radeon PCI Express X300SE video card, and Windoze XP Home Edition. No hacks, no downloaded custom content. HD is defragged and the firewall, a.v. software, and backround tasks are turned off during my attempts to install.
That said, Nightlife won't install. Disk #1 runs fine, then when I remove the first disk and insert disk #2 in the CD/DVD-ROM drive, nothing happens. The last file shown on the installation window is TsData/control/control.dat At 51% of the install, it stops. Have waited for as long as 30 minutes for it to do something before cancelling the installation.
Since TS2 and Uni EP installed and run just fine, I exchanged the disks thinking they were defective. Same issue with the second set. Cleaned the disks to make sure they were spotless. No luck.
Am I being impatient? Does it take several hours for this EP to install? Or do I have lousy luck and got another set of defective disks?
Thanks
I had this happen to me check your game file (my documents) if you removed it you will need to put it back in but and this is a big one REMOVE the http cache, collections, movies,saved sims,teleport,downloads and neighborhoods and save them on your desktop.(the reason for this is to save your game progress and you can put them back after installation) and try and see if it finishes installation. I had removed my ea games folder and it wouldnt finish installation because the folder wasnt there.
