Okay... So it's a weird title.

I have acquired most of the stuff packs as of late. Some of them are in "collections" such as "the best of business" which comes with K&B and H&M along with OFB.

I have every single EP installed, and all I want are the stuff packs. Is there any way I can install the stuff packs? Other forums told me to just "find" the stuff packs online, except I legally have them, physical CDs and all. I just want to do it right.

How do I just install the stuff packs? I really, really, really do NOT want to reinstall everything. Some of my EPs are lost in my closet.

I'm sorry to ask such a silly question! Other forums have had no answers for me!

The collection packs are all or nothing - so you will have to uninstall the EPs that are included in the collections, and then install them again as part of the collection. You shouldn't have to uninstall anything else though, so missing CDs won't be an issue.

Remember to back up your TS2 folder first.

But wouldn't that mess up my saved games? Because I have installed them in order, since I know that installing the eps out of order could mess up the game....... I'm just nervous!

If your saved game is backed up, you won't lose it even if something does go wrong. That's what backups are for.

Thank you for the answers! I just realized something! Would I have to repatch the game?

Installing EPs out of order would not cause any problem.

The collection packs should include the patches for the EPs they include - check the EA website just in case, to see if there are any patches for the collection packs themselves.

I didn't have to do that and I have Open for Business and the Best of Business Collection. It uses the most recent files or "replaces" the ones already installed.
