Sims 2 H&M Fashion Problem

[jfg619]

Hey, I have the same problem, but when I uninstall the seasons and pets expansion packs I am able to play the game with the H&M cd, the reason why we can't play pets and seasons with the H&M cs is because when the stuff pack is installed it also installs the latest patches for seasons and pets, if there is a way to prevent the patches from installing then we will be able to play seasons and pets with the H&M cd.... I've tried just hitting cancel when the patches are being installed but that makes the installation of the whole H&M pack to cancel, so does anybody know a way to prevent the patches from pets and seasons to install and just install the H&M stuff?

BTW, I have the H&M cd but downloaded the other expansion packs....

If u have Seasons or Pets installed, you will never start the game from H&M addon.
The only way to start the game is with seasons or pets, and using an image file and latest yasu tool. (til a new cracked version of the updated .exe is available)
The celeb and H&M stuff is already available, and the game is running perfect without any crash or error...

Yesterday i have installed Sims2 + all add-ons.
Nice game, funny.......but not for long.

"You are running the wrong version of The Sims.... "

I re-installed Sims2, with some newer files, but got the same error.
After reading some messages here about this "wrong version" problem, i know now that waiting for the latest fixed.exe one of the less options is.
The home made DVD Installer is great, but perhaps too difficult for most people.

For all Diehard Sims2 Freaks, who can't live a day without Sims, i have good news. Not very new news, but something easy to do, so that everybody can use all the Sims2 add-ons he/she wants.

If you have a second pc ? Great. If you use your pc only for internet en webmail? Perfect.

How does it work ?

1)Install a programm like Acronis true Image.
2)Install Sims2, and make a image of your Windows system.
3)Install a Sims2 add-on, and make a second image of your Windows XP
4)Intstall the next add-on, and make again a new image
5)For every add-on you kan make a image of course.

If you play Sims2 Pets, and you want to play Sims2 with another add-on.
NO problem!
If you don't have a pc from before the second World War, but something like AMD Athlon 64X Dual Core processor 3800+ 2 gigabyte RAM for example.
It will take less then 7 minutes switching between these Sims2 home made images.

What is 7 minutes ? Not much if you really love the Sims.
This will work the best of course, if you use your pc only for internet, and Webmail. If you change your image, all emails are lost in Outlook.

Save all your Sims2 data savings onto a second partition on your harddisk .
If you change later your image back to Sims2 Pets, will everything be the same.

To make these first images is a one time job, and lees then 2 hours work.
You don't want to start everytime at the beginning of a Sims2 game of course, so will you will have to make when you are finished a new image..

Good image software have a option, that only the changed data will be backupped. It's done in 3 minutes, and not 2 hours like in the good old days.

How nice, to play the game that you want, and not only the latest installed.

No more: "You are running the wrong version of The Sims.... "
Only FUN. http://fileforums.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
