Missing Data Directory

Not played the sims:superstar for a while, no files changed, taken away or anything. when i start up it goes to the splash screen then i get a "Fatal Error" saying: "Could not find The Sims data directory"

i do not want to re-install coz it jus takes too long. i own legit copies of all the expansions, along with the original.
 
is the shortcut your using right? check the path and make sure it points towards the sims directory and game .exe
 
the shortcut points to:
C:\Program Files\The Sims\Sims.exe
right where its supposed 2 be, i get the same error with the autoplay screen aswell
could it be a registry problem?
 
hrm, i dont know. the only thing i can really suggest is what you've said you dont want to do and that is reinstall :confused:
 
is there anyway i could combine all of the expansion packs in to one installation file. it would save alot of time when installing or re-installing

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
