Hey all, I'm really hoping someone can help me with this, I htink I'm at my wits end... Alright, I'm borrowing the Sims 2 from my sister seeing as she's using her expansion pack. When I first tried downloading it with the discs, by the third disc, at about 76% I would get the message "A problem occured when trying to transfer the file 'TSData\Res\Sound\RnB.package' from the media." Right, so after hitting the retry button a million times, I went online to find some help. Nothing doing. Today, I tried again to install. Same problem. Searched the net. Found the idea to copy the discs onto my hardrive and install that way. First 2 discs copied fine, on the third, there was a CDC. Finally! found the problem! I cleaned the disc, and ran it through a program that recovers any possible damaged or lost data. Finally, I got all the files onto my computer. Everything's in order... Click on the autorun for install and start on some homework.....Still stopped at 76%!!!! I honestly do not know what to do. I have more than enough memory. The disc is a PCCD, but, and maybe this is where I'm being an idiot, I have the DVD-R/W / CDR/W drive. The one that plays and burns both pc discs and dvd's... Should that make a difference? Please please please someone help. It's been almost a month of trying....If oyu need any more info, I'll do my best to provide, though mind that I'm not insanely computer savvy

I tried that too actually. And someone else's idea of, when the files are on your hard drive and the retry thing comes up, just rearranging some of the files...like keeping it all in the same folder, but just clicking and dragging pretty much....that didn't work either

Sorry, I think I typed in CDC somewhere in that last post. I meant CRC as in cyclic redundancy check...thanks

I then opened the "compressed" folder on the disk and copied the individual folders on my Desktop (you might have to copy file by file). Then go to your Desktop and compress the folders (2 or 3 depending[CSBin,TSData,TSBin]) and the change the name to "compressed" and move this folder from the Destop to the Disk1 folder (or Disk2, Disk3, etc). Make sure ALL the internal files (specially the TSData) have been copied or you might be able to start the game but not open lots or create people. I've been trying this. I was copying everything from my discs onto my hard drive, and I just having the same problem with the 'compressed' file on disc 3. I figured this explained the error message I kept getting after a 76% install ("A problem occured when trying to transfer the file 'TSData\Res\Sound\RnB.package' from the media"). So, I used CD Check to recover and repair the file. Great, the compressed file has now been successfully copied onto my hard drive.... ...or not. I tried installing off my hard drive, making sure to pull all the install cd's out first, and I got stuck at 76% again. I tried extracting the problem file, RnB, from both the disc and the copy on my hard drive, but WinRar gave a a meesage that the file is corrupt...("C:\Disk Images\Disk3\compressed.zip: CRC failed in TSData\Res\Sound\RnB.package. The file is corrupt") Please don't tell me that this means that I have no way of playing this game??!!! Someone please help, I've been at this for almost over a month Thank you immensely in advance if you have a solution!!!
