Error copying?

[joeySimzee]

Hi!

I'm currently installing my sims 2 from a newly-bought CD (because the old one wasn't working), and when it already said 100% and the "please wait" box came up, a dialog box popped up saying that "a problem occured when trying to transfer the file 'G:\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\UserData\Neighborhoods\N001\Characters\N001_User00103.package' from the media.

Do you want to retry to copy the file, or cancel the installation?"

I pressed Retry and it kept giving me that error. I didn't click "cancel" yet - any ideas on what to do next? Thanks in advance!

And when I tried running the game, an error keeps popping up saying that The Sims 2 needs to close,please contact Microsoft and all that - even Bodyshop. What do I do now?

P.S. Also, basically all the folders in my My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2 are empty. I've got a backed up folder of everything before I uninstalled - will it be okay if I just add the files in from my backed up copy? Or extract them from the CD?

The folder in My Documents is the saved game information - it will be pretty bare until you are able to start the game at least once.

Here are some Tech Help links:

Okay, I'll check the links out and get back to you guys as soon as possible :)

CAgirlnKS: Almost all of them are empty, including the neighbourhoods folder, like N003 and N002, and the "Characters" in N001 is only half of what they have in the CD. Even the tutorial folder is empty - no "Characters", no image, no nothing :(

Because your game cannot start those folders are incomplete. When you can start the game and it loads completely for the first time those folders will be correct.
