As far as the dvd drive when I right click on it, I can see the sims 2, the icon, the ea icon and the setup and autoplay icons, but when I double click on setup, nothing happens. If I double click again, then it says not responding.

double click the autoplay one.

I've been playing sims 2 for a long time now and nothing has gone wrong, but recently I hired a nanny. at one point i dismissed the nanny while she was at my house, because the father was home to look after the toddler, but she didnt leave. i shooed her and she still wouldnt leave. and now shes just standing in the middle of the doorway to a bedroom, sleeping! and shes in her bra and undies too, which makes it double gross! i need her to get into the pool so i can drown her, but it doesnt seem like shes gonna wake up! she just WONT LEAVE and its really bugging me. can anyone help?

try the move anything cheat and delete her... if you can... i'm not sure if that will work.

hey guys, When trying to install the Sims 2 i get the following error message:

Failed to copy F:\support\european help files\es\wht_logo2.gif

I cannot proceed without it copying.

I expect you're going to say it's a faulty disc but it has installed on 2 of my friends computer fine so any ideas??

Press CTRL + Shift+ C and then type moveobjects on in the box (make sure you are in buy mode). After you enable the cheat, pcik her up like you would pick anything else up and just delete her. or if its more fun you can try and put her in a pool!

Whenever I load a family, the family screen seems to freeze or something however the hour glass still moves. The family never loads even when I leave it sitting there for ten minutes. This problem never occurred before, It just started happening recently.

Two questions really.
1)Has anyone else tried running Sims 2 on a computer with similar specs: 1.7GHz proc, Radeon xpress 200m 64mb, and 512mb ram shared? I've been told it will run too slow. Will adding more RAM solve this? It's a laptop so changing vid cards isn't an options.

2)Can sims 1 and sims 2 be installed at the same time on a computer? Obviously not run at the same time, but I'd like to leave sims 1 installed.

thanks

Hey everybody! I have been having some rather annoying problems with my game lately. For no reason whatsoever it has insisted on blurring not only my clothing, but my testures, my eyes, my hair, etcetcetc. I have intel and I dont have a very fancy graphics card (i tried the troubleshooting method on MTS2 and it wont work for me because of that). Anybody have an idea on what I can do?

play a different family and see if it happens with them too.
