Installing The Sims 2 Freetime uninstalls The Sims 2 Bon Voyage

[rundontwalk]

Hello,

first of all I'd like to say sorry if I mess up with my english.. So, my problems is that everytime I install the expansion "Freetime" the game somehow impliest that I've uninstalled the expansion "Bon Voyage".. Anyone knows how to solve this problem? I've been googling it but so far I've found nothing.. Thank you for your time and help! :)

This problem has been around for a while. Usually it's fixed by reinstalling whatever EP says it's been uninstalled. So, just put the Bon Voyage disk back into the drive and let autoplay run so that the menu pops up. You should have the option to install BV. After you do that, then run the game using the Freetime disk. Please let us know what happens.

Following this FAQ (but replacing Bon Voyage with Freetime) should keep it from happening again: Game Help:Bypassing Bon Voyage Launcher

I have the same problem with Seasons. I've reinstalled Seasons and I've also changed the Freetime launcher name to Sims2EP7.exe but its still not working..

It's uninstalled Seasons? Reinstall Seasons, then.

You don't actually have to change the name, you need to change the target of the shortcut. It needs to point to the game executable and not the launcher browser.
