Hi!, I need help with my sims 2 games. I have installed and uninstalled all my expansions like 3 times, and delete the registry. But nothing changes. I have installed in order: Nightlife - Open for business - Pets
Look at this images:

In OFB:

In Pets:

My games:

I don't know why, but when i install Pets expansion i have a message like this: "You have uninstalled Sims 2 Open for business.
When i install Open for business expansion i have a message like this: "You have uninstalled Sims 2 Nightlife"

This is has been a problem since around OFB. All you can really do is put each EP disk in and if you have the option to install, then reinstall. Don't forget to make a backup of your EA Games folder before you do this. Let us know how it goes.

I do this, but, my expansions dont work together. i need a best Video Card? I dont know. I have a NVIDIA Geforce 5200 FX.

All of the expansions WILL work together, you just have to keep reinstalling until they 'stick'. I know that this is frustrating and the video card doesn't have anything to do with this problem. As I said, expansions 'uninstalling' has been an issue.

I forget whether Pets uses the launcher or not, but if it does, then using the Sims2EPx.exe found in the installation folder of your newest EP instead of the normal launcher can reduce the chances of this happening.

After making sure that all of your saved game data (My Docs/EA Games/Sims2 folder) is safely backed up, try a fresh reinstall. Follow the instructions in this faq for the uninstall: http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Uninstall
