incase it helps anyone, i followed all the directions related to installin expansion packs on this site. and well no luck. well this game is used.

maybe i can download the items and stuff that supposed to be in the game from somewhere, since its installed and not showing anything new in the game?

What do you mean the game is used? Borrowing and installing a game is illegal. You need to purchase your own. It would also be illegal for anyone to provide you with the items that aren't showing up. Buy and install your own copy of the game first and if you still have issues we'll go from there.

sorry i mentioned trying to borrow items from you guys.

see i got it from goodwill, and that makes it a legal copy.
and some other info is when i go to SimPE to see the items they show up there but the pictures dont show in the object catalog. and the item
shows up in the preview screen, is that weird?

i tried to make a clone of it and well it dont work in the game.

Is there a catalog entry at all for the items? Is the issue that there is a blank thumbnail? I'm not sure what you mean by the preview screen, but maybe a reinstall of the stuff pack would be in order.

preview screen as in simpe. its what you used to preview the mesh before
making a package out of it. the object catalog picture is the picture inside
of SIMPE. when you click the tab to so you can recouler/clone the objects.
you see all the items there. but the pictures are red x's in it.

again they do not work in the game. i tried uninstalling it twice. i followed the help thing on TSR.com and that didnt help either.

Ahh, now I understand- the thumbnails in SimPE show but nothing at all in the game. When you uninstalled and reinstalled, did you check that the registry keys for the pack were removed fully, and that all of the files were deleted? Try also a local (manual) install of the stuff pack:
http://support.ea.com/cgi-bin/ea.cf...li=&p_topview=1
http://www.modthesims2.com/wiki.php..._Help:Uninstall
The fact that the items are showing in some form in SimPE show that some files are there, but I'm guessing that either the game is not registering correctly (the registry keys) or else the files are not copying correctly. Make sure all traces of the stuff pack are gone before reinstalling.

This makes me wonder if you're trying to create a disk image so that you don't need to use the disk. If so, you need to install the stuff pack correctly without use of no-cd cracks.

Please do not PM me with Game or Site Help questions. Post them in the appropriate section after going through the FAQs.

We don't support No-CD cracks, so until you have the game installed correctly we can't help you.
