This user has the following games installed:

Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Free Time, Apartment Life
Default Mansion & Garden stuff saying that Apartment Life needs to be removed
HEEELP! I bought Mansion & Garden stuff (lets call it M&G), because i was missing it. So, I tried to download it from the disc, and it said that Apartment Life needs to be removed in order for it to work. I tried multiple times, and it always just said the same thing. The disc is brand new, no scratches, or anything. I have every other pack/expansion, and they all work. I have a windows 10, and it has no problem running TS2. It always says that Apartment Life needs to be removed. ***Removed in order for M&G would install***

Does it appear when you try to run the game, or when you try to install it? Do you have a screenshot of the message?

M&G is the latest "EP" (it's considered an EP even if it says it's a stuff pack) so that's the one you'll want to run your game with after it's installed.

If this sounds a bit like the issue you're having --> https://modthesims.info/t/599350

Have you patched Apartment Life before installing M&G? Try that first.

If that doesn't work, try GrumpyLoader:

Could be you need some steps from here, but try first with the steps above

I've also seen your post on EA forums, but:
1. Which packs do you currently have installed and working on your PC?
2. Please try to get a screenshot of the error and see if it says why it needs to be removed.
3. Try to install patches for every pack (if available) using the links above. Run base game, University and Nightlife patches using GrumpyLoader first, then once again just double click to run them to confirm that the installation worked.
