Sims 2 Holiday Edition Help Request

November 22, 2005 by Ingrid Diaz  
Filed under Gaming

Hey game geniuses out there, some of our readers are experiencing technical difficulties installing the Sims 2 Holiday Edition. The installation process keeps asking for disk 1, even after they’ve inserted it. Ideas? Suggestions?

Update: Someone at The Sims Zone, posted a similar question: “Ive already put disc no.1 before I open the program then when i try to play it i get this message “please instert the correct dvd-rom,select ok and restart application”. No one has posted any solutions, yet, but you can keep watching it and this, to see if anyone comes up with anything. If someone does, I’ll update here.

Update #2: Suggestion, by Tor (thanks!): What you could try is making an iso/mirror of the CD, then use Daemon Tools to mount it.. Somehow the computer has an easier task to figure out the CD if it has all the files in a nice little iso.

Update #3: This might actually be your problem: Which version did you all buy?

The Sims 2 Holiday Edition
or

The Sims 2 Holiday Party Pack

Holiday edition is the full game of Sims 2 Plus the expansion.

The Party Pack is just the add-on content. Note the $40/$15 dollar prices (Respectively)
that may be causing an issue to those of you who already have the Sims 2 installed, because it wants to install the Sims 2, but you already have it installed, so it’s asking for the first disk.

[Thanks, Matt!!]

    Hii everyone i havent found this ANNOYING issue anywhere on any posts on this website so PLEASE SOMEONE HELP THIS IS REALLY ANNOYING.
    Well I love Sims but I only have Sims 2 Double Deluxe. My friend has sims 2 pets so her dad knew a way i could download it without putting the disc in. PROBLEM IS i needed to put my memory stick in everytime i played Sims with the PETS expansion pack. So i thought – Why bother? So i uninstalled Sims 2 Pets, but Double Deluxe stayed on my laptop thank God! BUT I HAD A FAMILY OF 10 – 1 TEENAGER, 2 PARENTS, 2 CHILDREN AND FOUR BABIES AND A MASSIVE HOUSE and God damn they were RICH AS EVER THANKS TO CHEATS. [Cheats are posted below that have worked for me!] But i went back on it and ALL MY FAMILIES HAD BEEN DELETED. I GOT SO FAR ON THAT FAMILY NOW IM SO ANGRY. BELIEVE ME ITS NOTHIN COMPARED TO ALL YOUR DIFFICULTIES.
    I need help. If you cant help and if it isnt possible to get my big family that i got so very far on back, then no worries, but id rather u tell me i cant do anythin about it otherwise this wud be a waste of time. thanks

    Cheats =] (press Ctrl + Shift + C to type these in)::
    1. Want twins? type in: forcetwins
    2. Loadza money type in: motherlode (repeatedly)
    3. type in: boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true (exactly THAT) and hold SHIFT whilst clicking on the mailbox, sims, or the dustbin and there’ll be options LIKE FORCE FRIENDS AND MAKE ME KNOW EVERYONE AND if you have PETS there’ll be MAKE A PET

    THESE DO WORK!!!
    TRUST ME XX
    BYEE!!
