Hi, I have lost disk one of four in my move to a different house due to family issues but still have the serial code. It was installed many times before on different computers and still works great but I would like to install it on my laptop or re-install on my computer. All the sims 2 files and codes are still on my computer, but it was uninstalled so I cannot play them and this is my favorite game to play when I'm sick ( a lot) So is there any way to solve this problem without buying a whole new Sims 2?

When it's actually installing the game it gets to around 32% and gives me this error'A problem occurred when trying to transfer 'F:TSDataControlcontrol1.dat'Do you want to retry top copy the file or cancel the installation?of course I click retry a few times, hold down enter. Nothing works.Very confused. I do have a DVD driveSystem specs:P4 3.06ghzvideo card: geforce ti4800HDD: 120gbRam: 512mb ddrPlease help.editI fixed my own problem.Looking around i seen that i still had my 2 virtual drives for nfsu2, and 2 for team america movie.so if you have this problem and have virtual drives, remove them and it should fix it. This depends entirley on how many drives you HaveHow many hard drives are inside your pc? Dvd-Drives?if you have only 1 hard drive and one cdrom/dvdromthen you should have a 'C:' and 'D:'the way i removed the virtual drive was uninstalling the program i used to make the virtual drives. (which was alcohol 120%) if you know what program you used then uninstall that program and try installing again. It worked for me Hope it helps.Btw you really cant distinguish Virtual drives from the hard drive they look alike but you will have alot of drives in 'My Computer'.

I had this same problem. Except it was with a different file.I tried it on 4 different computers and it always happened on Disc 2 on the same file. So instead of trying to 'install' disc 2. I tried copying the files over to my computer.

And same problem. That file was corrupted. So I brought my game back and got a new one. Now, my cd drive won't even read Disc 2, but it has no trouble reading disc 1,3, and 4. (Note: I did not accidently buy the DVD version of the game)The weird thing is, my web server can read disc 2 and copy the files from it.Is there any way I can copy the files from all the cd's and do an install from my hard drive? I tried it but it still asks to insert disc 2 after installing disc 1.I've been to all the forums dealing with sims 2.

I just keep getting the run around. My computer meets and exceeds all system requirements, I do not have any CD emulators, my game is not the wrong version, and there are no scratches on my cds.My drive just won't read disc 2 for some reason.

Thanks, I greatly appreciate it.Melissa. I installed the sims 2 on a secondary drive - G:not the boot drive - C:when installing, it says it needs to store additional information in C:so i say ok.when i go to install the patch, i get an error that states the sims 2 is not installed or installed incorrectly and to re-install or install the sims 2.so i say ok.(i have played the game, so i know it runs)so, regardless - I un-install, then re-install and it says it needs to put additional info in C: again. It gives me no choices as to which drive I would rather it go to.I dont have enough space on the C: for the sims 2 and the expansion when it comes out. Plus its not running at 10,000RPM like the G: is, so you can see why i want to install the sims 2 on G:ok, so i havent reinstalled the sims 2 yet, because it keeps telling me it needs to install more information on C:the problem is the update stating the game is not installed or needs to be re-installed.I have tried to install the patch on both drives. Please helphi,im new to the site so i dont know if im writing in the correct place, so if i am - sorry. If im not then.i have the sims 2 and i couldnt install it on my computer because it is too slow so i installed it on my laptop, when i start it up it goes on and i can actually play on it the problem is that its way too slow! I was wondering if i can either get my laptop upgraded or if theres a computer that the sims 2 works on.

Some told me that there was a computer called ailen hardware or something and that is the computer that the sims 2 works on the best.if anyone can give me some help i would be most greatful.Ema. Aresdci got the game to after a long waiting and i have the same problem like you guys.i Know it works, I saw it at my girlfriend's computer.Maybe what are you saying about virtual drives is corect, as she doesn't have one.I have Alcohol 120% installed on my PC and I Think That's the problem.I will uninstall it and try again.Anyway The file requested at install wizard is situated on cd 2 not in cd 1,maybe it should request for 'insert cd 2'.Or the game producers are so smart to make a perfect original and not aloud copyies. Install problemHello there, I have the same problem as a lot of you have put. I got the sims 2 game a while back in september and played it, it worked fine, until a few months later it started to crash. I uninsalled the game and tried to install it again.

But when it gets to 22% it comes up tih a box saying something about not being able to transfer the file EReg -bin. I am really gutted.

I have tried looking for programs such as nero ion my pc. I unistalled nero and have no other programs. I dont know what to do! Before i uninstall the game a box comes up saying'a problem occured with the file EREG. This may cuase some inconvenience.' I dont know if this has anything to do with it, but i would welcome help!please post back.Kenndel x.

I am having a similar problem with nfsu 2. At 59% of the install process it prompts an error saying: “A problem occurred when trying to transfer LANGUAGE.Do you want to retry top copy the file or cancel the installation?”In the previous posts they mentioned to remove all virtual disks.

But I need these, otherwise it gives me an error to insert disk 2. The virtual disk solves the problem but how do I get rid of the 2nd error without deleting alcohol 120?? HELP!!I also tried to burn the cd’s but no success. Anyhow I want to play as fast as possible without wasting another series of cd’s.please reply greetz.

Should i delet something? Solution to the 'A problem occurred when trying to transfer' problemI became a hero for my daughter who got Sims2 and could not install it. The message 'A problem occurred when trying to transfer.' Was always displayed approximately 75% in the install. By coincidence when my daugter came for advice about 3rd time I had in my hand Netflix envelope saying something like 'wash the DVD in a mild dish soap if it does not play properly'.

And I did it with the failing SIMS2 CD and IT WORKED!!!!:haha. Sims 2 Nightlife troubleshootingI have downloaded Sims 2 and I am currently using Daemon Tools as my virtual drive. The game ran smoothly. Recently I also downloaded The University expansion pack and it too installed fine and plays fine.

I am, however, having a problem with my installation of the Nightlife expansion pack. When I mount the image of the 1st CD it always stalls at 57% with the file control1.dat Is there anyway around this? I do not own any of the real software so I am aware that could be my problem.

I also read the previous posts in this thread. One solution someone said was to uninstall the virtual drive program (daemon tools), but I can't install my download of nightlife without it. Anyone have any ideas?
