i have already installed the sims 2 but i can't play why?

Question

it prompted me to insert disk 1 but when i did so, it said that i inserted the wrong disk. so i tried all kinds of method like using all 4 disks, changing the compatibility mode, logging on as administrator but it still didn't work.

my computer is windows xp edition and my disks all are brand new not dirty or scratched or whatsoever. please help me...

Answer 1

Crack it... Find a crack folder in one of those discs and copy it into your game file... Then click on the logo inside the crack folder and you'll be able to play with it... Good luck!

Answer 2

this is usually caused because the game you are installing is a cracked CD. If you install a game using a cracked CD, you'll need a crack file, (usually located on CD 1 in a folder named crack). Copy that crack file (but not the folder) to the directory you install the game. If when you paste the file, you're alerted because there is a file with similar name, say OK to overwrite it (if you're planning to update the game, backup the overwritten file first).

Note: If you can't open the CD because when you go to My Computer > D: (or whatever your drive letter is) you get the autorun screen, then right click on the drive, and click Open (My Computer > Right Click D: > Open).

Answer 3

It is most probably because your computer does not have the right hardware to play it, meaning you might have to upgrade your hardware for it to work. Alternatively if it is a burnt copy of the game, OR A COPYRIGHTED GAME you will have to download a crack for the game, from for example limewire (watch out for viruses), and replace the icon for the game (on your desktop or in a folder) with the crack icon - name the crack the same name as the icon for the game and paste it in the same place as the game (same folder or on desktop, for example).
