I am now having a different problem installing Sims 2. On disc 2 it would
freeze up, but I got that one fiqured out. Now on disc 3 at about 75% it
pops up a window stating "A problem occurred when trying to transfer the file
'TSData/Res/Sound/RnB.package' from the media. Then asks if I want to retry.
I've retried over and over and still nothing. What would be the problem
here. I am using windows xp and have plenty of space.
 
It will sometimes go past that one and go up to 77% and then say it had a
problem transferring the file 'TSData/Res/Sims3D/Objects00.package'
 
are you or are you not installing with an illegal copy?
it happens to most illigal copies
 
are you installing your sims in C: Drive?
if so, you know what's scandisk/chkdsk?

go start, run, type in CHKDSK /F
press Y to the question to do a check after restart

restart, let it scan your drive

try reinstalling, if it persist, you might have a dirty cdrom drive and also
check your cds for scratches or dirt
 
I have one slot that is both a CD-RW and DVD. I have tried the chkdsk /f a
few times and it doesn't show anything wrong. I am installing through the
autoplay that automatically starts it and places it in c drive
 
does any of your friends have sims2 too? maybe you could get a copy of the
3rd disc and try
 
There seems to be a problem with the file, might be corrupt. Have you
tried my earlier suggestion (copying to hard drive and installing from
there)?
It will sometimes go past that one and go up to 77% and then say it had a

Thank you Lee. Finally got the download through going through safemode and
kept pressing retry, and also quit download because it froze but did not
uninstall, so it kept all files and finally got to disc 4. Now I can't seem
to get it to run. I've never had so many problems installing a game and
trying to play, it's rediculous! I have all the latest directx and it keeps
saying that I don't. I have restarted my comp so many times, getting sick of
this. Any knowhow on this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
 
i also have problems when i installed my copy, i never known that even
originals have this problems.
i encountered problems with my disc 3, error with neighbourhood.package i
think, after restarting the installation after a restart, reinstall, and
it's worse, it encountered an error during disc 1 at 22%

i borrowed a friend's copy and install. and i finally completed the dreadful
installation. i also have 2 of the expansion packs. and again, i also get an
error with disc 2 while installing university.

ok, here's the suggestion from EA Games, worth a try.. like the suggestion
by the previous guy.

if you managed to install the game? give me a message, i got some websites
on sims2 for you
 
If you had so many problems why dont you send the game back for replacement
or refund.

Just to inform you but when you say "downloading", it means downloading from
the internet. When you are installing a game\program you should say "problem
installing" not "problem downloading" it can lead to confusion.

I did finally send it back to amazon and they are sending a new one at no
charge. I should get it tomorrow. Thank you for all the suggestions,
hopefully I won't have as many problems. It just seems so strange that I can
intall a game like myst V and have no problem and along come the Sims and
everything goes haywire. Anyway, thank you again. Hopefully I won't have
anymore problems.
