Sims 2 bon voyage update patch

I just wanted to share my solution to this problem. I was also having a great deal of trouble installing my Sims 2 games on my new HP laptop, which has Windows 8. Every other expansion asked me to insert the Sims 2 Disk 4 to ensure that the Sims 2 was updated. Each time, the update suddenly terminated, and the game would un-install itself from my laptop. Well, after some prodding around and stumbled upon this solution.

I hope it works for others as well. I had to remove the hard drive from my old laptop and make it into an external hard drive but I don't think that is necessary though. I copied and pasted all my games from the old hard drive in the Programs file to the Programs x86 file in Windows 8.

Within that folder is a folder titled, "TSBin. Since that was successful, I decided to try to install the patch for the Sims 2 again. The other night I couldn't get the patch to install.

Guess what? This time, it successfully installed. Each time, the installations were successful i. After that, I decided to install Nightlife to see what happened. This time, I was asked to install the Sims 2 Disk 1, and it was successful! It told me the Sims 2 was already updated! I went into the game and saw that Nightlife had uploaded. Now, I did this a couple of days ago, but I don't think the other expansion packs asked me for any of the Sims 2 disks.

I was able to install all of my expansions successfully. I entered after each installation to make sure everything looked okay. I then installed, or rather copied, all my old games and custom content into the file in "Documents" where that stuff is stored on Windows 8. Everything showed up in the game! I did not enter CAS though. Anyway, I'm very pleased! I would have hated to lose my games! Just a quick message to say a big thankyou to the response above, worked perfectly for my Sims 2 expansions and I can now confirm this method also works for Sims 2: Pets.

Thanks :D :cathappy:. January - last edited January Sorry but lala I don't understand how you get to the point of " I went into the EA Games folder in "Program Files," and then went into Sims 2" folder" where is this folder?

I cannot, for the life of me, find this programme files? My niece just got a new laptop with windows 8 on it.

She would like to play the Sims 2 on it, but I don't have old files to copy and replace like you did. I can not get it to update using your method. She dearly loved these games and I would love to help her out,. February I have tried to do everything that has been suggested but when I install the expansion packs and when they require disk 4 of Sims 2, they crash. I did find them in the expansion packs though so I clicked on them which did not work. I then, using an external hard drive, tried to move my ea game files over to my new laptop Windows 8 but now they do not exist.

This is very annoying because I want to continue playing the Sims 2 with my expansion packs. I have already lost all of my previous games. Thank you. April June Please help make a patch. I love sims 2. I love the game so much. It makes my day to play it when I am having a really bad day. Please please please will even purchase the patch.
