Many thanks

i've never seen this disk, is it a double sided CD? are you sure the box doesn't fold out for another cd behind the first?

Is this problem just because the disk needs a more thorough cleaning (I've tried cleaning it before) or something bigger?

Thanks a lot!
what is the exact error message.

Yep, checked it all, there is only one disk, which makes me think something somewhere is going wrong, didn't know if anyone else had had this problem and how they got around it. Is this a contact EA games situation?

There should be a 2nd disc in a cardboard sleeve behind the leaflet about nightlife & booklet with the code on

Alright it always screws up around 48% and has the error message. .
"A problem occured when trying to transfer the file 'D:\TSBin\Sims2EP2.exe' from the media."

My disk is clean, relatively new, and only has one scratch that I can see (even though it's really rather shallow). Any ideas on what I can do?

In SIMS UNIVERSITY there is supposed to be 2 disks. When u look in the case case can u lift the black cd holder part. The second CD is supposed to be behind the first one. IF it is missing i will call EA and ask for a replacement.

When I load my sims game it says "Application crash, The application must terminate" whenever I load my pleasantview neighborhood. This situation occurs only when I load that neighborhood, and not when I load other neighborhoods. I have reinstalled the sims, and I have done system restore, but nothing worked. I am so sad because I am afraid of losing my sim families.

I just wanna give a shout out to Jackiefrost for holding this thread down, Sims players can be demanding ones LOL (a Sims player myself) and you have helped alot of folks so I thought you should be commended on that.

Now, for some reason I cant seem to load the game.......

Anyone have this problem?

For some reason, my sim is stuck on his cell phone. He isnt talking, he just holds the phone to his ear and breathes, he cant do anything else. Im really not sure what else to do...

Is it possible to delete the cell phone from his inventory? (it might say its in use so it cant be deleted)
Or is there a hack I can use to get him off it?

Also, im having alot of problems with doors stuck open. Im not really sure what to do. I read that it is a glitch but is there a way to fix it?

I know that you can take things out of their inventory and place them in the game sometimes, that's how I will swap things from one Sims inventory to another Sims inventory. Try placing the cell on a table, then going into 'buying mode' and delete it. If that makes the Sim act quirky then leave the lot without saving it.
