Sims2 No-CD Workaround
 
Ok.......this will have to do until the No-CD problem is fixed.

Download this MINI-ISO that works for Sims 2! (its an iso with just the safe checks on it and all proggy stuff ripped.

Now, you HAVE to be using Daemon tools 3.47 or NEWEST Alcohol version for this to work

What you do is you set those programs to emulate safedisk, then you mount this mini-iso and you go and play! Make sure your using the ORIGINAL sims2.exe in your game directory and not the bad No-CD one's or IT WON'T WORK!!



Bingo...........game plays and build mode works fine......
:cool:

er
 
I posted this but 4 hours ago, its just the CD check iso

Hows that warez? Warez is the whole game, this isn't the game. I own the game and it won't work on my old CD-RW so whats the problem? I email Maxis and I get some "Well try another drive" bull**** response! Pardon me? TRY another drive? I only have ONE drive, so what the email is saying in translation is BUY another drive!

Yes dear company I just happen to be made of money, and I will happily buy a brand new CD drive to play your game that wasen't properly tested! Its nice to know that in the face of your errors instead of fixing the problem, you blaim me for it. So in retrospect I will rush RIGHT out the door and buy that brand new sparkling CD/DVD-RW combo drive.

YEAH RIGHT!

You think I'm stupid? I'm glad this worked otherwise I would have had to refund my money and gotten another game. This games great! Too bad whatever funds Maxis attains from this won't go into QA testing and older format drives. My drives OLD (It burns at 4x) and it reads every other game BUT this one. Maybe when developing these CD checks they should keep older format readers in mind huh?

Edit: I would give the updated link but the forums blanking it out

Luciel 18-09-2004 19:08

so u got a system that can run sims 2 with an old 4x burner? sounds dodgy to me.

Praka 18-09-2004 19:35

I have not had a reason to update it over the years. When it breaks I will buy a new one. CD's burned at 4x just as good as ones burned at 40x

scaramonga 18-09-2004 20:14

Just a whole lot slower........... :p

Sidney 18-09-2004 20:58

Actually Luciel I can run a copy of an old teac 4x scsi burner as well, reason is the burner is not mcc compliant.

Hi look at myproblem thatI've found on Maxis.com

Question
Why can't I use the Build Mode tools?


Answer
If you find out that you are unable to do anything in build mode, like build a foundation, walls, windows, Doors, or anything then your Sims2.exe files has been corrupted. This can happen for a number of reasons, one of the most prominent is if you are using a 3rd party "Patch", "Hack", or "Mod" that changes or replaces this file or add additional files to your game. :eek:

:confused: Is there a way that we can make the build mode tools work ?! :confused:

Thanks

FREEMAN100 19-09-2004 14:23

Lol
 
the designers of the sims 2 built the protection in such a way that when it was cracked ie safedisk&cd check was removed the build options of the game were usless this is not due to corruption heres a question did u just read the last post and think ill have my say lol cos if you read up we all no y this exe doesnt work there is already a fix on gamecopyworld for this game but if your like me id rather wait for a proper exe and not some demon tools bollocks

sbgauchoguy 19-09-2004 15:39

Does anybody else get an error, after mounting the fixed image with Daemon tools, saying that CD/DVD Emulation software was detected and to remove it?

Many props to B314X for this, I mentioned a day earlier that this was probley going to be the only way to crack the game WITH the build options intact, and boom! It was! Happy building all! Now I just have to load a 1.5MB iso instead of a 758MB one

How do I find B314X? I looked all over EFnet, I need to ask B314X how I can rip all the main data from a safedisk image. that must take some skill :)

I have the following problem with Sims2. I maked Backup-Copies of my original ones and tried to install the game from them, but he still asks for disk1. I did the same with the original ones and it worked fine. Is there already a copy-protection within the installation routine?
Is ist possible to make a copy that installs fine with GameJack?

Sorry for my poor English. I´m from Germany.
