sims 2 extension packs and content

[takart]

i just wish people would please take the time to "properly" add what game etx packs they used and are needed for "ALL" sims stuff you download, it would make it a hell of a lot easier for those of us who cannot purchase high speed and expensive computers and to also purchase all the ext packs and stuff packs, then our games wouldnt crash cause somone hasntlisted what stuff or ext packs r needed, its so bloody frustrating deleting and at times re-installing the game because somone hasnt put the right content n packs needed on there downloads, please guys a coupla mins more to type a few words will help us sooooooooooooooo much

It's not yet Sunday in the future, so I don't know why you're doing this.  Who the hell are you talking to - cause pay artists don't care what you think.

Smiley attack!

I just wish takart would read the FAQ before posting. I also wish that takart could also use capital letters and punctuation. That would be awesome.

Seeing as I got my PC back today, macro time.

Death to Calalily.

I recently uploaded a few macros...

ummm ya, anyway...

This actually brings up an interesting point. I've never understood all this reinstalling business. Only once have I ever had to do that and it was after a complete system overhaul. I mean I'll admit to having cracked open a few core files just to see what's inside or make adjustments but I always have a backup ready in case I fuck it up. What piece of CC would create a need to reinstall? It's such a labourious process and wouldn't necessarily solve a content issue so why would you do that?

Because some people can't comprehend that you can start your Neighborhoods folder or your Downloads folder over fresh without reinstalling the software too? Heaven forbid they should learn basic computer troubleshooting techniques.

I've had to do it once, because I was dicking around with the core files and sort of forgot what went where and mixed up the backups and the files I borked and it was a right mess. I don't know what I expected to find in there either. I guess I was just curious.

Other than monumental fuckups like mine, I really can't see what would possess you to go through that tedious install/patch/mod process again without at least trying to

[dusdeedawn]

I reinstalled twice. I couldn't figure out why my game wouldn't start. I realized (like a dumbass) that I had been forgetting to delete my .cache files. 

[Safety Pins]

Back, quite a while ago, when I had no fucking idea what I was doing, I reinstalled my game because of some glitch in a house.

I suppose it wouldn't have hurt to check the OTHER houses, right?

That was bad and stupid and dumb.

I've never whole-game reinstalled. Even when I switched from my laptop to my PC, I used a program called Aloha Bob and it moved everything flawlessly.

[Paden]

I've done whole re-installs when I tinker with the configuration of my computer. It honestly doesn't bother me to do it most of the time. I'm one of the odd ones that installs, patches, defrags and on down the line until all of the games are in. And yeah, I defrag after each EP is installed. I think the next time I do it, gonna install up to Night Life and bring back Bella and see how it goes.

Hmmmm...I've never installed an extension pack. Is it similar to an expansion pack I wonder?
