[skipsie]

I have no idea what is going on. i installed sims2 seasons and it worked fine. then i go to play it today and the disk is not found. i have searched the forum and i cant seem to find anything about not beable to even load the game. any ideas? thanks xx :cry:

Does the drive work with other CDs ?

This seems to be a common problem since Seasons, most likely due to the copy-protection built into the disk. My suggestion is to keep trying to start the game using the shortcut and/or eject the disk and let the autoplay start the game.

yup. other disks work. i will keep trying.. i was hoping if anyone new how to fix it but if not.. *sobsob*

I'v been having the same problem let me know if you find a solution

Deleting the groups.cache file sometimes works for me if my game won't start. You'll find it in your My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2 folder.

it actually lost mine completely and every time I tried to autoplay it would try to reinstall >_< eventually I tried to reinstall but it wouldn't let me wouldn't let me go into the EA uninstaller (said it wasn't there), so I had to go into windows uninstall it and reinstall it LOL it was crazy

Hopefully maxis will realise the problem is affecting alot of people & bring out a patch...
