The SIMS 2 Deluxe

I NEED THE CODE FOR SIMS 2 TO PLAY ON SIMS 2 OPEN FOR BUSNESS

usually these kind of games requires play disc. im pretty sure that the play disc here is the disc 1 of your original sims game

You have to have the disc in your cd/dvd drive to play the game. the game will not play without the disc. If you have any expansion packs installed you need to use the latest expansion disc. For instance, I have Free Time but not Apartment Life so I must have the Free Time disc in the drive to play the Sims 2, not the Sims 2 disc.

There's always, do a complete reinstall.Some software will ask for uninstall-install-repair.Hit repair if available.You have the disk,the reinstall is probably your only option.

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.

your problem may be a graphics card issue. Did it work with the expansion packs or start problems when you installed the expansions?

maybe this link will be helpful if the above does not work.

Double Deluxe is the first disc, you don't need any other disc. It should install.

I dont believe so because when you install your games it asks for that fourth disk

Does your laptop have a DVD drive? It is likely that the Sims Double Deluxe disk you have is a DVD ROM and not a CD ROM.
If this is not the case, try clicking My Computer and selecting the CD drive to see if the computer recognises the disk at all. Run setup.exe if it does.

do u have the original sims 2 deluxe cd or not....
if yes wipe the cd and insert it again....
if no get a patch for the game...
