Sims 2 Problem!
I have a problem. I have recently downloaded the EA Downloader on my pc, and I am not getting any good results? I was wondering do I have to have all of the sims 2 games to run a add on edition of the game. And I am also getting an error windows media player says I require a DVD Decoder to run the DVD for the game? and it's not working. Anybody have any ideas on how I could go about fixing this problem
Please help I would be greatful. |

This should be in the tech support section.
You could have a problem with your DVD drive, i'm not too sure. Could you describe it more fully? |

well the problem is.. The Dvd is not picking up properly, I got to install the game Sims 2 Famliy fun stuff. It says please insert the Sims 2 Dvd?, is this the bonus edition DVD? or is it a completely different DVD? just need to ask?
If so all I need to do is go buy the actual game again since the blue disc I have is completely screwed over anyway. ???? so whats the problem? Last edited by Trust In Trent; 28-10-06 at 11:47. |

What it means is, insert your copy of The Sims 2. Not and expansion pack, just The Sims 2. |

The Family Fun Stuff Add On is nothing but a collection of new objects. There is no engine to run the game with, or any game engine modifications. Hence, you need the CD of the latest Edition you installed: Sims2, or University, Nightlife, Open for Business or Pets. All these are proper Expansion Packs. The Christmas Add On is also just a collection of seasonal objects. Hope that helps.
sorry, read you post again, are you saying you don't even have the Sims 2 Original game installed? Then you have no use for the Family Add On whatsoever. Last edited by Lone Raider; 28-10-06 at 12:44. |
