Please help me with Sims 2 physical disk installation

[quinti.sims]

Good morning

I have spend my day trying to install my sims 2 on my windows 8. I get the bace game to work but as soon as I try to install my expansion or stuff packs it's a whole new story as I did download the newest pach from SIMSVIP.

As soon as university life is done with installation it says it wants to update I click  ok ok and then installation terminates and back to 0% happened like 5 times.
Any advice please

Hi, quinti.sims.

This thread at ModTheSims should walk you through the steps to get the game installed properly.

Hope this helps and happy Simming!

Thank you did try that now but no lock as soon as it's done installation I should open grumpy and update but grumpy can't update because sims 2 is already open.
I am so frustrated again.

Sorry to hear that didn't help you out.

If you don't mind using Origin, you may be able to ask EA for a copy of The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection. Just let them know you're having problems installing your disc copy in Windows 8 and they will likely provide you with a code. Then it's a much simpler download and install. Might be worth it especially if you don't have all of the expansions and stuff packs already.

Hope this helps and happy Simming!
