My second FT Disk wasn't working on install so I...

[tabbs]

Ok I've been trying for 2 days to get my FT expansion pack to install but it would freeze on the second disk, So I copied the files from the disk into the folder, Will this ep now be installed and run or is there another way to fix this?

See when I installed AL, it told me that FT wasn't installed (which it was cause I had been playing that EP til AL), so I uninstalled FT and got my disks out of storage to re-install the EP but then it would just freeze all together on the second disk, at about 54%.... This was extremely annoying - and have no idea what would have caused this.

Anyway Now I think I might have FT installed from just copying the files over from the disks into the correct folders, of course it doesn't show up in the accessories but I can live with that just so long as I can use the EP.. I'm not about to buy another disk set so I truly hope this works. I'm about to test it, but I'm worried that by loading the game now it will royally screw up my computer. So now I'm here for advise since I'm not as Awesome as you guys on fixing problems.... Any help would be great in this matter.

I did do a disk scan, and I didn't need to defrag so I didn't. The only other thing I can think of is that I'm using the no-cd crack for AL, but I'm not sure if that would make it so my Disk 2 wouldn't work for FT on install... strange...

I think the worst that will happen is that your game may be borked and FT will not work.  If FT does not work, perhaps AL will not install properly.  I would test it and find out.  If it does not work, you'll have to try to reinstall properly.  If that does not work, "arrr" a copy of FT and install from the downloaded copy.

See I would probably "arrr" it now but I have no idea about those things, see I'm pretty squeeky clean except for the No-CD crack and thats only because of SecuRom that I even use it. Damn EA-IS!

I arrred Free Time recently because I lost the second disc and I wanted to reinstall. This torrent worked for me -- http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4050388/The.Sims.2.Free.Time.PC.Ingles


I also had to arrr a copy of Magic Iso from Pirate Bay to write it to a DVD.

So do you have to download other things to use an "arr"?

Daemon tools and uTorrent (or other).

Ok I found this little tutorial that I'm going to try out first before I "arr" it http://www.ehow.com/how_2003545_sims2-manual-install.html

We will see if it works...

Edit to add:
It worked so I didn't have to "arr" it. Very happy about that.
