I'm trying to install the best of business collection and it says all the packs are installed when they're not.
How do I install it?

    Try checking the Sims folder on My Computer, if there is Best Of Business files there, delete them and try again.
    Or try installing them separately and not together

    It won't even let me install it. It keeps saying all the packs are there when they're not.

    Hi :)

    Have you had it installed before?

    Sometimes the game registry isn't always removed. If you want, you can check your registry to see if it's still partially installed ~

    Nope. It's never been installed. There should be no reason for this weird message.

    Try uninstalling one random EP or SP then try again.

    No but I'll try. :)

    Okay.
    Edit: Tried both of these solutions and still got the same message. :/

    I have a vague memory from back in the day of having to clean your registry before reinstalling.

    Unfortunately I'm too incompetent to do that. :/

    Back in the day, there was a tool from Maxis that would do this, but I'm not finding it anywhere. However, I did find these instructions:

    If it's never been installed than it won't be in the registry to clean.

    It was already suggested to clean the registry. :)

    Was your problem ever solved? If so, what did you do?
