Default Can’t Get H&M pack to install
Hey there, I am having an issue when I try to install the H&M Fashion stuff pack. The installation will get to about 94% and I get a message saying: A problem occurred when trying to transfer the file D:\TSBin\TS2UPD7.exe from the media. It will then ask if i want to recopy the file or cancel the install. I clicked retry once and that made the install get to 100%, but then the same message pops up again. Clicking retry again just makes it sit at 100% and the same message pops up. I've heard that you need to install these in a certain order, but I'm not sure if I can. I have Mansions and Gardens Stuff, the last stuff pack, on a 3 pack set with Pets and Family Fun Stuff that is already installed. I have Sims 2 Double Deluxe with Nightlife and Celebration Stuff, Open for Business, University, and Seasons installed and working with no issues, running on Windows 10. Any help would be appreciated and please direct me to the correct forum if this is the wrong place to ask. Thank you!

Hi, make sure you manually patch your game first of all:
Game Help:TS2 Patcheswiki
Then use Grumpy Loader to install H&M:

Thank you very much for the help! So when I go to the patch link you provided, it mentions that if I have Double Deluxe, which I do, I don‘t need to patch the game. Do I still need to patch the expansions and if so is there an order I need to do it in? And would I need to patch the nightlife one since it comes with Double Deluxe?

The grumpy loader just says "client application exited" when I try to install H&M with it..

Yes, Double Deluxe shouldn't need patching so that is fine. Every EP has a patch, they should all be applied except for the ones that are bundled in Double Deluxe (Nightlife I think?). Also Family Fun Stuff has a patch which is quite critical as it prevents a bug where catalog content disappears.

For installing H&M, if it still won't work try copying the disc media to your hard drive for installation.

Although I'm still thinking this is an issue where the game is checking that the basegame is up to date, so could be that it's not detecting your basegame is patched.
