damaged patch

[trevanac]

I got a new computer and I'm reinstalling all the sims 2 games. When the family wouldn't load (any family), i uninstalled everything and did everything one step at a time (in order, games and patches). I'm hung up at the sims 2 night life patch. before i tried to install the patch, the game was fine, after, the family wouldn't load. The patch errors when I ran it, so I'm pretty sure that's the problem.

Do I need the nightlife patch? Is there a working patch?

I've tried the patch located on both modthesims and beyond the sims EA website

It would be great if I didn't need it, or if someone could help link me to a patch that works.

Thanks,

You're not cracking the game before you patch it, are you?

No cracks are yet involved. No downloads, no mods or custom content of any kind. Just a blank computer one game one patch at a time. everything works perfect until I install the nightlife patch.
