The Sims 2 is a pretty big game so it takes awhile to completely install everything. You might want to make sure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements, too. If not, that could be part of the reason why the installation is so slow. I would also suggest closing all other programs (including your web browser) during the installation because running other programs is taking away from your computer's resources which could be used to help speed the installation along.
Here are the system requirements for the base game, The Sims 2, from Maxis ---
Minimum System Requirements for The Sims 2
If you have a T&L capable video card with at least 32 MB of video RAM then you need at least:
800 MHz processor or better
256 MB RAM if Windows XP, Windows ME, Windows 98 or Windows 2000
At least 3.5 GB of hard drive space
If you have a non-T&L capable video card (an Intel Extreme Graphics or a Radeon 7000/VE Series) then you need at least:
2.0 GHz processor or better
256 MB RAM if Windows XP, Windows ME, Windows 98, or Windows 2000
At least 3.5 GB of hard drive space

How many other programs were open while you were installing it? If you were at 77% when you asked this that means you had at least 2 things running at once. More open programs = slower computer.
