Install a game on external drive

[Sonic]

Hello, I just finished installing the PC game "The Sims 2" on an external disk. However, I can not launch this game on another PC, indicating "link changed or moved." How?

It will not. Some surprise is that it works on 1 pc

Despite the fact that you put the game on external hdd, you have installed and register on 1 pc and so it will not work on 2nd computer. The external hdd are not meant to install the programs they are too slow due to the usb

Its true for the register but personally, I think there is a possibility to run the game on 2 PC

The registry is updated during installation. Update manually, it may be possible but it would surely not worth the time knowing that a mistake can crash windows

I would try to leave your game installed on the computer on which it operates (register-to-date). Then you plug your external hard drive on the second computer. Although the file already exists, you will start a game

At worst he will tell you that the files already exist but it is not inconvenient.

By proceeding in this way, during installation, the registry of the second pc will update the game should therefore logically operate on 2 machines

It must be installed on the PC, otherwise it will not work. It is also the easiest and most sure.

Best regards.
