Sims 2
I got this as a Christmas present last year, and just today tried to instal it. However, my dad unfortanetly got the Special DVD Edition! I don't have a DVD-ROM drive in any of the 5 computers in my house, not including my dad's totally off-limits work-only PC. The normal CD-ROM drive I have doesn't even recognize the disc Sims 2 came with as a disc at all! :/ Is there any way I can get around this and install it? Or do we have to drop another $40 on the normal version? -sigh-

Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
Get a new computer. Perferably a Mac. If it doesn't work on Mac's, too bad. USE A MAC! We all SHALL!!!

just bring it back and switch it. this happened to me and they easily switched it. (no questions asked) alough, if you comp isnt fast enough it might not load at all (when you want to play itll freeze up), i havent got to play mine and i ve had it since it came out.

Take your dvd back, and exchange it. They will give you a new game. Make sure you have the reciept.

Ask a parent to go online and E-mail the Ea Games people. Ask them to send you an unopened Sims2 and send them the opened one so you can return it for the regular one. This exact thing happened to me too!

No, there isn't a way around this. But if you really want to play this game then you could get a cheap DVD-Rom for about 40 bucks and install it yourself instead of having to buy another copy. And you will have the DVD-Rom if you ever need it again.
Here is a link to one [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

No you cannot install it but you dont have to pay $40 for the normal version just go and exchange the dav-rom one for the normal version

if you wanna get the new one so it wont take such a long time to mess around weith the computer. instead of tossingthe DVD one try selling it on ebay.

The same thing happened to me. I had my mom bring me to best buy and we just exchanged and they let us do it. Good luck!

The Sims 2 requires a lot of memory and special video cards even to run; the disc may not be your problem. Always make sure you have all the needed requirements before opening any software.
