well you still have to click each pack file to install it but it installs them quicker than the games installer.

No you don't have to install one by one. In your explorer you higlight how many you whish to install and then you right click and select "install all".

I've been using this program for months, but it's stopped working. I just get "Run-time error 75: Path/File acess error". Does anyone know why this happens? I really like this program and.... I miss it!

Sounds like maybe you moved some files around and have to tell it where to go again because it's saying that the directory it's pointing to, either to install, or where the sims2packs are, or both, isn't there.

[/Quote]First, you'll need the Visual Basic 6 runtimes if you don't already have them. They can be gotten from http://www.modthesims2.com/files/[/Quote]

The link is broken. I found this "Visual Basic 6.0 Run-time Files" at microsoft. Is it the same thing? Thanks.

This is AWESOME! I tend to download like mad for about a month, and then eventually go, "Y'know... I've got 1500 files I should install" and then it takes me half an hour just to click through all the files... I'm downloading now, can't wait to try it! Thanks!

Update:
Since I have found out how to install multiple .sims2pack files with sims2pack clean installer,
my post is more about the problem i have encountered with multi-sims2pack installer.
I think it's good to let the others know,
so they are aware of it before they delete their .sims2pack files.

The program (multi-sims2pack) have extracted/installed .sims2pack files into Downloads folder,
but the objects in the packages won't show up in the game.
So, I double-check the files with sims2clean pack installer,
and none of the extracted packages have previews showed up (with previews option checked),
and some become "empty packages".

So, I double check to see if the .sims2pack files are corrupted themselves.
But no, they aren't,
coz when i extract them with sims2clean pack installer,
they are extracted alright with previews,
and show up in game.

Maybe not everyone has the same problem. But be sure you double check the installed/extracted packages before you delete the sims2pack files.

I can not begin to Thank you enough.
This was So simple and Such a life saver
I too have that same affliction of EDD extreme case too
I had over 300 of these sitting in a folder that I just could not bring myself to click one at a time
I used this and wham I have them all in at once

Great Work!!!

I admit I felt a tad Dumb though I did not know they would unload into the same folder they were in and was roaming through my game looking for them thinking I had messed up and looked and there they were DUH
Now though they are sitting in the walls and floors folder
Again Thanks and if in fact this is usable with the Sims themselves that is another HUGE life saver
Off to read more pages here on the post to find out

THANKS

Default how to install sims2pack when EP is required
I do'nt have EP University.
A lot of skins and houses are created with EP. With the result that people only having SIM2, cannot install those for example sims.
Like Anna Karknakova, Demi Moore etc...
I get the message The package contains things created with EP and therefor you are not able to install any of them.

I tried MultiSimsextract.pack, and the package files i can install, but not the other files. How and where do I put those files like *.sims files????
Anyone.

I will not get EP University. I will wait for Nightlife, but I hate it that I cannot install the new created houses, skins etc..

Any one any Idea??

Thanks.

I am very new to the sims2 (a former TSO player) and I didn't even know I could find all this wonderful content for my game. ONly thing is, I have the same problem as meisje1972. Does that mean I cannot play with these wonderful objects until I get uni or nightlife??? Please help...I love the plumbing stuff soooo much

Happy 4th Delphy and to Everyone,

Well I just tried this new tool and it is Marvelous. I had over 300 files to extract and had already done a few by hand, when I remembered your post on this. I set it up and it ran so fast, it was through before I got back from a pit stop. I manually deleted the sims2pack files myself this time because I had accumulated so many downloads, I wanted to make sure I didn't lose anything.

Are there any plans in the future to include a file cop as part of this program? I know that DatGen plans to have one eventually, but I think other improvements are queued ahead of this.

Wonderful, Wonderful Application - Thanks so very much,

HeartDeco

Unsure what happened It worked great for a long time then the other day I tried to do a lot and yes l.ikely too many files at once and I think I broke it Now I get the runtime error thing :confused:

Adding runtime from above will let you know But just odd that this happened out of the blue??

Nope says runtime error 75 Path/File access error

So did I break it LOL

aprilluv,

Sorry for missing your post - do you get that all the time now or just on particular packages?

If it's only on particular ones, can you send one to me to check?

Thanks
Delphy
