garmanma Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Are you sure you don't need to add any extra RAM? I'm trying to get my daughter's to work right I found some help on the forums at Gamespot. Also try the Sims siteMarkGamespot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
REMIX_23 Posted December 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 well at the sims site it told me to run disk cleanup on C and then defrag so im doin that rite now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garmanma Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Maybe uninstall then reinstall the games. Do it while offline with your antivirus turned offMark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
screi Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Just run it from the open for business disk...the expansion should still be operational...just installed open for business on my daughters machine and it ask for the "pets" expansion disk(the last expansion disk installed and run)...runs fine from there(with open for business)...it's something to do with how the games are saved i think..wayne Quote Link to post Share on other sites

screi Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 have you downloaded and installed the update patch from the website..??also it seems you might have got a bad install from the university pack..might be a good idea to uninstall and re-install it all as suggested by garmanmahope you backed up her games...??wayne Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garmanma Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 I thought my daughter's was a graphics card or driver problem. It would distort after a certain period of time and crash. She deleted a house(whatever that is) and the problem went away. I figured maybe a corupt file. So she went ahead and reinstalled the whole game.Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
