The Sims(Original)

[SamiPattz]

Okay, so I'm having a little problem with the Sims installation. For Christmas last year, I had gotten a Windows Vista Laptop and recently I decided I wanted to put the original Sims onto it. Now the problem starts when I get to installing The Sims Unleashed. It says its missing I think data 2 and gives me no other option but okay. And all of a sudden it closes down the sims installation and then I go to see if at least the first sims works... and its uninstalled. I don't know what to do so I'd really appreciate your help as soon as possible.

Is Sims Untitled on it? Sims Unleashed is the expansion pack to Sims Untitled.

Could it be a scratched or dirty disc?

Is "Unleashed" a single disc install or multiple discs?

I would venture to guess that it's a single disc, so maybe clean it (Water + soft cloth + stroke from center OUT, not in circles).
If the disc still looks bad, a cd scratch remover might be in order.  I've never personally used one, but apparently it takes a small layer of plastic off the disc, eliminating or reducing scratches along the way.

If it's a mutli-disc install, maybe you missed a prompt to insert the second disc and it timed out?

Or maybe I'm totally off.

This is a legal copy of the game that you bought, right?
Because if it's downloaded or something this is a normal occurrence and it serves you right.

Sims Untitled?  Do you mean "The Sims" (the original game)?

Unless I misunderstood the OP, I believe he installed "The Sims" then tried to install "The Sims Unleashed" and that's when the problem began.

sounds like, perhaps, the Deluxe Edition.

Is it not called Sims Untitled? That's what it says on my CD.
