I have XP and installed the Sims2 under a separate user account that loads
the minimum required stuff. Can't remember who's idea it was - but it's a
good one. The game's performance improved quite a bit when I did this.
My problem is - I WAS using Sims2 File Maid to install Sims2Pack files and
things were working fine when I only had one account. Since creating the
separate user account (with all things sims2 under that account), the Maid
doesn't install the Sims2pack files anymore. It runs (for a loooong time)
and I get the "successfully installed X number of files" message. But when
I go into the game - none of the new walls, floors or skins are there??!!
There are no files under the teleport directory. Everything works great
when I use the sims2pack installer, but that does it one at a time and I
have about 2,500 files to install.
So, questions: a) Is anyone running the Maid under a separate user
account? If so, how should I set it up to work correctly? OR b) anyone
know of another program that will install Sims2Pack files in batch mod???
(*sob* I really don't want to install each one manually!)
any help/suggestions are gratefully appreciated!
thanks!!!!
