Beyond frustrated
I had the same problem. Plenty of threads on this one with no solutions.
It's possible that it's a disk issues, but in my case it wasn't. I was able to successfully install the game on one computer but couldn't on another. One was running Windows XP, the other Windows XP 64.
Tried imaging with DAEMON Tools and Alcohol 120, but no luck. Then someone suggested unpacking the compressed.zip files on each of the cd's and repacking them into a single compressed.zip file.
I was getting CRC errors when I tried uncompressing the files under WinXP64, so I tried with a 64-bit archiver (Power Archiver), but no luck. So I decided to unpack the files on my other computer where the game installed fine and then repackage them on my XP64 machine, and to my surprise everything worked.
Not sure whether the problem was due to copy protection, Windows XP64, EM64T/DualCore, or SATA-II drive, but those are essentially the only differences between my two machine configurations.
Here's what I do know though... in my case:
1) It was not the CD's. The same CD's worked fine in my other machine.
and
2) It was not my DVD drive. I used the same exact DVD drive in my other machine.
I'm curious now, how many other people who are having this problem are using XP-64 or SATA-II drives?
The reason I'm asking is because I've encounted similar problems installing other games (Tomb Raider Legend, and Half-Life 2) on this machine. It wouldn't surprise me if these were XP-64 or SATA-II issues, but this has been a pretty reliable machine apart from the few issues I've had with these games.

Another Sims 2 Problem with Installation
I installed Sims 2 before Christmas. I played it and everything was peachy. I haven't had time to play again until recently. Now it doesn't work. I still have the same pc but get that darned direct X error and the game won't open. I uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. with no success. I have my summer off from work and would love to play it again. Can anyone help me? I obviously have all the requirements or it wouldn't have played in the first place.
TIA!

I am having some very similar problems with my Sims 2 download. As soon as I reach 73% this pops up:
A problem occured when trying to transfer the file 'D:\TSData\Res\Sound\Voice2.package' from the media.
Do you want to retry to copy the file, or cancel the installation?
I have tried retrying over and over but it doesn't help. I am only an amateur computer person so PLEASE HELP!

I am so pissed off right now, cant install sims 2
My bf recently bought sims as a gift for me, this is our 3rd attempt after going and getting 3 seperate copies of sims 1 and 2 and still wont install
I get to the second disc of sims 2 about 42 percent of the way in and I get this error message
ts\data\res\sim3d\objects09.package cannot be installed from media
Do any of you good people out there lend me a hand please? As of course all EA has to say is mail us your copy along w/ $20 and we might send you a copy that works

Try copying the CDs to hard disk
I've just spent an annoying evening getting round this problem - hopefully this might save someone else the same pain!
Tried to install Sims 2 on my daughter's new laptop - install freezes just after its asked for CD2 on 23% accessing TSData\Control\control1.dat. Great! This machine is for her to use at university and it seems running Sims 2 is way more important than its use for any coursework.
I don't have any virtual disk drives and I know the CD's not corrupted - it installs fine on another PC.
After much hunting, and finding many unfortunates in the same boat, but no solutions, I eventually found this link on the EA support site:
http://support.ea.com/cgi-bin/ea.cf...3NlYXJjaF90ZXh0PWluc3RhbGw*&p_li=&p_topview=1
The final suggestion on there is talking about Sims 2 University, but it works for base Sims 2 as well.
- Create a folder called 'Disk Images' in the root of the C: drive - the folder name (with a space) is important apparently.
- Within this, create 4 other folders called 'Disk1', 'Disk2', 'Disk3', 'Disk4'. (no space between Disk & number - again the name has to be exact)
- Copy the contents of the 4 install disks to these folders
- Remove all CDs and install by launching 'autorun.exe' within the 'Disk1' folder.
Worked a treat for me. After you've installed you can delete 'Disk Images' of course, to reclaim disk space.

Installation freezing at 38%. HELP!
I am trying to download University onto my computer, but when it is downloading, it stops at 38% (The file name of TSData/Res/Sound/Voice2).
I have read all of the solutions to this kind of problem but none apply as:
a) I do not have ANY virtual drives
b) The same thing happened when i was trying to download NightLife, and it stopped at the same filename. I overcame this problem by getting a new disk, and it worked just fine.
It surely cannot be just a coincedence that both of the disks were damaged in the same place/way?
If anyone has an idea what is the problem, could they please help (however, I do not understand very technical computer language, so could you please try to keep it simple?)
Please help?

I solved it.. well on my computer at least..
Hey guys im new to this forum, and i recently downloaded sims 2 Nightlife.
I encountered the control1.dat error that froze the installation at 56%, i was stumped, after searching around for a few days i came here. you information has helped alot, but i have solved the problem.
I mounted both CD's in alcohol 120% (most likely work in daemon).
I realised this because control1.dat is in the 2nd Cd, and the installation wasn't telling me to insert cd2.
So increase you virtual drives to 2, mount both images in different drives, then install the game. This should solve the problem of control1.dat and other missing files.
Take care
