I created a profile for The Sims 2 Deluxe (package of Sims 2 and Nightlife in single install) yesterday and all was good.
Today it does not work, but if I change my system date to 10/7, it resumes working. After several date changes and reboots, it's consistently working with 10/7 date, but fails with others.
I can live with this, but it would be nice if I didn't have to change the date before and after playing.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Paul
