I'm going to start off with what I have installed currently...

Windows Vista
Sims 2 Base Game
Sims 2 University
Sims 2 NightLife
Sims 2 Pets
And not very much custom content.

I try to install SIMS2PACKS by clicking on them, and an error message pops up.








I would really like to know what is going on with this, it worked when just the base game was installed, even though I had not the expansions required to install certain items, but the installer still popped up.

Does anybody know what is wrong with it?

Thank you.

Do you have the clean installer? If not, get it and try that program to open sims2packs.

As far as the EA product, unfortunately we don't provide support for their programs. You will have to take that up with Electronic Arts.

I'm worried that my latest Salvation Army donation will result in homeless people looking like sluts from the 90s.

Yay! The Sims2pack installer is wonky at best. The Clean Installer is tried and true. Glad to see you got it working. Well done.

Oddly enough, the EA installer works fine for me, but the Clean Installer does not work at all.
