My sims 2 double deluxe wont install at all

try to copy first your sims to to your desktop the run in again..

Try opening windows explorer (not internet explorer) and go to the drive that has sims 2 in it and double click on the file "Autorun.exe" if it has it. Otherwise try "Install.exe" or maybe "sims2.exe" or something like that

Hi. Is Sims 2 installed in your pc? Before you can install any expansion pack you have to install first the sims 2. Try installing first your sims 2 software then install all the expansion pack that you have. Hope this helps.

I think university is the first or second expansion pack. I know there are issues if the expansions are not installed in order of their release. if you have say, seasons or freetime and then install university, it may not run correctly. You have to uninstall the packs or the game and re-install them in correct order. Yes, it's a big pain but I had to do it twice.
Install the SIMS2, or double deluxe whatever you have then follow this order with exception of say nightlife if you have have double deluxe because it comes with the original game.

As long as you have your download file located in Documents/Ea Games/The Sims 2/Downloads (I already had this folder when I installed the game.) you should be fine.

Your might want to try taking out your Sim Blender, and try executing again. It may be causing the game to freeze before it loads all the way. I am currently having the same problems and I am looking for a solution.

2 disc nhl hockey by ea sports for pc. everytime I try to play it keeps saying install the correct disc in to the drive and click ok. I do but it doesnt recognise it. Is there something I can do?

Oh you can only have Sims2 Deluxe, Sims2 double deluxe or Plain Sims2 so you must uninstall one of them.

You must uninstall sims2 first if you have it.

this is caused when the disc is unreadable or the disk has files which are corrupt.try installing from another disc.
