I am trying to install the sims 2 university on my laptop. I already have the sims 2, nightlife and pets already installed. I have all the above games and sims 2 university installed on another computer, but that was 2 years ago when I installed them. Since then the university disc has become very scratched which is probably the root of the problem. There is plenty of space on my laptop. So the problem is: I put in disc 1 to install university, it gets to 23% and then stops, and tells me theres a problem copying a particular file and it asks me to retry or cancel, it doesnt work when I retry so I am fore to cancel the installation. I think it cant copy the file b/c the disc is scratched. I tried making  acopy of disc one but it doesnt install it properly, it just crashes when I loaded it and it asked for disc 2 far too early which meant it isnt installing the majority of whats on disc one. So is there any way around this? Could I somehow copy all the installed files off the other computer and put them on my laptop? Anyone got any ideas? -- Posted by Idontknowyou at 12:31 am on Dec. 23, 2008 defeats -- Posted by studmuffn at 12:31 am on Dec. 23, 2008 depends on the car, for example id hate to drive a phantom in manual lol. but with any bimmer... id take manual any day. -- Posted by Dass at 12:31 am on Dec. 23, 2008 thats hwy you have SMG -- Posted by BeautifulxLiar at 12:33 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from Idontknowyou at 3:31 am on Dec. 23, 2008 defeats this -- Posted by emo sux69 at 12:40 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from Dass at 7:31 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 thats hwy you have SMG thats auto. -- Posted by Dass at 12:45 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from emo sux69 at 12:40 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from Dass at 7:31 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 thats hwy you have SMG thats auto. it's watever you want it to be, besides that shit can shift faster than any reg manual -- Posted by emo sux69 at 12:48 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from Dass at 7:45 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from emo sux69 at 12:40 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from Dass at 7:31 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 thats hwy you have SMG thats auto. it's watever you want it to be, besides that shit can shift faster than any reg manual But thats not the point here, im talking about using driver involvement in a car thats luxury. -- Posted by i r sekz at 2:05 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Paddle shift FTW. -- Posted by Dass at 2:07 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from emo sux69 at 12:48 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from Dass at 7:45 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from emo sux69 at 12:40 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from Dass at 7:31 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 thats hwy you have SMG thats auto. it's watever you want it to be, besides that shit can shift faster than any reg manual But thats not the point here, im talking about using driver involvement in a car thats luxury. tighter cornering is more enoyable than a fuckstick in my hand, so yea, it is the point, and it is relevant -- Posted by emo sux69 at 2:14 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from Dass at 9:07 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from emo sux69 at 12:48 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from Dass at 7:45 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from emo sux69 at 12:40 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from Dass at 7:31 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 thats hwy you have SMG thats auto. it's watever you want it to be, besides that shit can shift faster than any reg manual But thats not the point here, im talking about using driver involvement in a car thats luxury. tighter cornering is more enoyable than a fuckstick in my hand, so yea, it is the point, and it is relevant No its not, plus how does a sequential relate to tighter corning? that has nothing to do with anything.

But this still isn't the point im raising here you seem to lack sense of, sequential is still a form of automatic as you dont have a clutch pedal which makes the shifting boring and senseless which is where manual has its advantage. and how is manual predictable, have you even driven a manual? Manual is as predictable as you want it, you have control of the clutch and the shifting something you lack in a sequential you LACK control. -- Posted by Dass at 2:49 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from emo sux69 at 2:39 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from Dass at 9:23 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from emo sux69 at 2:14 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from Dass at 9:07 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from emo sux69 at 12:48 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from Dass at 7:45 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from emo sux69 at 12:40 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from Dass at 7:31 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 thats hwy you have SMG thats auto. it's watever you want it to be, besides that shit can shift faster than any reg manual But thats not the point here, im talking about using driver involvement in a car thats luxury. tighter cornering is more enoyable than a fuckstick in my hand, so yea, it is the point, and it is relevant No its not, plus how does a sequential relate to tighter corning? that has nothing to do with anything.   Sequential stick is okay, flappy paddles are kinda fail.   better then your regular auto but its still nothing compared to the feel and control of a full manual.    dude you only say that cause you dont know how it works    SMG is programmable to as low as 0.08sec gear shift    which is faster than any conventional manual shifting    so the only reason you're defending a manual trans is because it's predictable, well guess what, do some research and u get same effect (only better) Dude, i know everything about SMG i also know about the Magnetti Marelli transmissions used by Fiats cars(Ferrari and Alfa) that have sequential that shift in .03 of a second. but all in all it lacks a clutch which propels the car forward after shifting.   But this still isn't the point im raising here you seem to lack sense of, sequential is still a form of automatic as you dont have a clutch pedal which makes the shifting boring and senseless which is where manual has its advantage. and how is manual predictable, have you even driven a manual? Manual is as predictable as you want it, you have control of the clutch and the shifting something you lack in a sequential you LACK control. well the only reason you want to be in contrlo of the clutch is to control the timing, or the day between the pull and actual gear shift, otherwise whats the fcking diff if you start shiftin and you get the actual gear switch 2,3,5 seconds of unpredictable delay then fuck it -- Posted by IMPALA at 2:54 am on Dec. 23, 2008 wow i've never read such ignorance. -- Posted by emo sux69 at 10:16 am on Dec. 23, 2008 This guy has no idea how to drive a manual does he, 2-5 second delay through gears, WTF? -- Posted by IMPALA at 10:21 am on Dec. 23, 2008 he lets the revs calm all the way down. hey does it snow in ausfag land? -- Posted by emo sux69 at 10:26 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from IMPALA at 5:21 am on Dec. 24, 2008 he lets the revs calm all the way down. hey does it snow in ausfag land?

If you want to just sit back and enjoy the ride, something more automatic is just going to work better. If your driving the car, because you love driving, nothing beats a manual. -- Posted by LoveKay at 2:51 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 I would choose to drive standard over the automatic any day, dude. Oh yeah and beige interior is hideous. Pages: 1 2  Next
