Program installation instructions and PC requirements for Sims Nightlife Multi-Langual CD version.

Please note the games requirements 

THIS GAME REQUIRES THE ORIGINAL SIMS 2 PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED

(Refunds cannot be completed due to systems not meeting game hardware requirements, so please check before I ship!): I want to insure that you are completely satisfied with your purchase. 

Since there are many bidders that I've recognized in the past that bid at the last minute and really don't read the auction description, I want to be sure that you understand that this Sims Nightlife version  is a legal licensed version - not a copy.  The program's default language is in "Thai" including the installation.  So, an additional floppy disk (as noted on the auction) is provided to present the installation and game play in English.  Otherwise, and without the floppy, the program installation will be presented in Thai language or you will see "???????" through the install text if no Thai fonts exist on your computer. 

Insert CD Disk #1 into your cdrom. If your computer "auto starts" the installation when cd disk #1 is inserted, cancel the process before continuing by closing the installation program.  Click on the "Cancel" button.



Next, If you don't have a floppy disk drive or prefer manual configuration, Click Here . Otherwise, continue with floppy disk installation.

 

Install from floppy disk


Below, is screen shots of the initial installation from the floppy so you have a complete understanding.  Also, since the floppy disk program is written by me, I will offer full support on the install including a phone call if nescessary! 


Assuming Disk #1 is in your cdrom drive, insert the floppy disk into your disk drive. Go to "My Computer" or "Windows Explorer" and select Drive "A:" Double click on "Run.bat" file located on the floppy disk to start the installation.

Next, you will see a screen prompting you to continue, press any key to start the installation.

Copying the setup files for installation will take a 3-5 minutes depending on the speed of your cdrom and requires 700mb of free space on your C drive.

When completed, the program will automatically start the Sims Nightlife installation in English. 

Enter the cd key which is located inside the cd jewel case, follow the rest of Sims Nightlife installation instructions. That's it!!  For help during the initial floppy installation , please send your questions to me james@alphaleap.com .  For Sims Nightlife support,  please go to http://thesims2.ea.com or ask me if you wish, but I don't know the game well!  At their website you'll also find some manuals in English for download. Your game is brand new unregistered with unique cd key guaranteed and includes all the benefits associated with an EA game purchase including support!
