I have bought the Sims 2 Open for Business,but it is the Thailand edition.?

Question

I had the game installed before and then it got uninstalled and now it says that the floppy disk has to be formatted. What do I have to do to get the game installed and have it in English. It won't even install with just the disk. Please help anything would be very much appreciated! ( My computer is an XP if that helps....)

Answer 1

I hope you get your game installed. I don't know what might be wrong with the 'floppy disk' issue? Maybe your CD ROM cable is disconnected. At any rate, I can't speculate on that.

However many people did get a multi-language Thai version of the game and had problems. And online there are working solutions. I have not had a Thai version of the game but I'll paste the solution here and include the link below so you can go check out the source where it shows this is a successful solution. Of course, if you follow the directions, the first thing you should do is BACKUP the registry and save it on your desktop before changing it

Now here are the directions to change from Thai to English in The Sims 2 game
============

I found someone else who has exactly the same problem with the Thai multi-language (E-bay) version.......and here's the solution....

Step 1:
Go to start, then Run. Type in regedit. Press OK.

Step 2:
Locate where you installed Sims 2 University. For me it was programe files/EA games.
Under language change the setting to English UK (double click the icon to allow you to change the default)
Under Locale change the setting to en_uk
Under region make sure the code is MX08004261

Step 3:
Locate the file called 1.0 (it is in the Sims 2 university file that you were just in)
Under Language make sure the value data is 13 hexadecimal (double click the icon to allow you to change the default)
Under LanguageName change the setting to English UK

Close the file and then play the game.
