Why won't my Sims 2 Pets install onto my computer?
Question Posted Saturday September 6 2008, 11:13 am
I recently purchased the Sims 2 Pets computer game. I thought about getting Sims 2 Apartment Life or even the Sims Life Stories but I really like pets so I went with the Sims 2 Pets. I've never had a Sims game so I thought it would be neat to try out. Anyway, I went through the installation process and it popped up with an error message, I suppose. It says, basically, that I need to purchase the Sims 2 game.
That doesn't make sense to me. I paid for my Sims 2 Pets game so why does it keep popping up that I need to purchase the Sims 2 game? Am I trying to install the Sims 2 Pets wrong? Did the cashier need to scan the Sims 2 Pets game CD better?
What in the world am I doing wrong?

The Sims 2. The Sims 2 Pets does not contain the files needed to run the game. It only is the files to add Pets to your Sims 2 game. unfortunatly you are going to have to purchase the Sims 2 also before you can ply your game. if you want to get it cheaper, I would suggest buying it off of e-bay. You could even borrow it from a friend and install it, because once you install it, you can install Sims 2 Pets and just run the game off the Pets CD.
You don't really have to buy the game. Just find some way to get it installed on your computer.
