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 pets is an expansion pack. To use it you must have the original version of the game. 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.

Hope this helps!

You need to have the Sims 2 before you can install any others. The Sims 2 pets is an expansion pack, it adds on the regular Sims 2.
