This user has the following games installed:

Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Free Time, Apartment Life
Default objects.package files different installation dates on the disc itself?
I am reinstalling my game. I've just noticed that some of my objects.package files are later than the installation dates shown on this wiki but on the actual disc itself. Is this something bad? For example, my best of business dvd, the installation and created date of the objects.package file for H&M fashion stuff is 15/May/2007 whereas the website says 14/May/2007. There's more like this, and if I remember correctly maybe one with a different creation date from it's installation date too (but I'd have to check this). If it makes any difference, all of my games are UK version apart from one which is the French version.

Could just be a time difference. You don't need to worry unless the files say a date from after you installed the game (post-2009, possibly post-2014 for the UC files)

Thank you for replying. I just want to clarify something else, if the creation date of an objects.package file is when it was installed (2019), is that normal? As long as the date modified is pre-2009? Thanks.

EDIT: I made my objects.package files read only and decided to write down the dates for them. The ones below are the ones different than the wiki. I know accessed dates are nothing to worry about. I noticed it was mostly best of business collection. I couldn't patch the game for open for business so I was wondering if that was a reason? This is a fresh install by the way.

base game (uk)
created = 08 Sept 2019 (wiki = 25 Feb 2005)
modified = 28 Sept 2005 (wiki = 25 Oct 2005)
accessed = 08 Sept 2019

open for business (uk) (best of business collection) (not patched?)
c = 08 Sept 2019 (wiki = 06 Feb 2006)
m = 31 May 2006 (wiki = 25 May 2006)
a = 08 Sept 2019

H&M® fashion stuff (uk) (best of business collection)
c = 08 Sept 2019 (wiki = 14 May 2007)
m = 15 May 2007 (wiki = 14 May 2007)
a = 08 Sept 2019

kitchen & bath interior design stuff (uk) (best of business collection)
c = 08 Sept 2019 (wiki = 11 Mar 2008)
m = 12 Mar 2008 (wiki = 11 Mar 2008)
a = 08 Sept 2019

Apartment life is fine but for some reason the accessed date is way off?

apartment life (uk)
c = 26 July 2008
m = 09 Oct 2008
a = 09 Oct 2072 (????????????????????)

Modified date is probably the one you want to look at.
