I have the OBSOLUTE worst times installing my sims. it usally gets to the second disk and freezes, or it gets to that very last please wait, and freezes.

normally i'd have to try a million times, but im extreamly fed up since i had to do that with OFB and Pets.

is there an easier way? i remeber i had to do some copy and paste stuff with uni on my old laptop...

I reported the problem to EA a long time ago, but i dont want to have to wait for "3 bussiness days" which means i wont get help till wendsay.

and thats annoying... do you guys know?

There is a link to EA's instructions on how to do a manual installation (copy the files from the disks) is this faq: http://www.modthesims2.com/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Install

wait. im confused.

it says that it would install after clicking autorun after ive copied and pasted everything.

wouldnt that just be doing the same thing?

Yes but you are starting the autorun from the disk image folders that you copied from the disks to your harddrive and not from the CD itself.

If you've had the same issue with other games too, it sounds like your CD drive is dirty or damaged. How old is it?
