I successfully installed the sims 2, but when I try to start it up, a white screen appears with the sims 2 logo. After about 3-5 minutes, i get this. The Sims 2 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Why? |

I have problems with the sims 2 installation. The installation goes fine until it reaches near 25% wich , i guess , is the end of the cd 1. But instead of asking for cd 2 , a window prompts and says: Installation sucessful. |

Since installing Nightlife, some houses won't load. They'll almost load, then the game will crash. I've disabled all my hacked objects, since they may not work with Nightlife. Could this be the cause? If not, how can I fix it? |
