Official Sims 2 Thread
 

Update: After Looking at the other Active Sims 2 Threads, the only one that looks any good is the Sims 2 CD to DVD Backup Thread HERE. Discuss that guys procedure in his thread. Everything else goes in here.

Update 2: There is no working crack at the moment either. We here at Fileforums dont know when a working crack will be out and, dare I say, many of us dont care. Its a girls game for petes sake ;) So dont make bone idle posts asking if a crack is out and dont PM Mods asking for Cracks and definately dont use the Report to Mod link to request cracks either (new craze starting on here, idiots)

Update 3: As of 21/9, there is still no fully working crack. Money's, Star****ers and WMM1427 cracks all fail when it comes to using the Build Mode. However, it is being reported that if you use either of the 2 mini images available from GCW, you will be able to fully enjoy the game. That is all

Update 4: WORKING CRACK HAS NOW BEEN RELEASED! Either be patient enough for your favourite crack site to update (come on you have waited this long) or look for it on the net yourself :)

Update 5: Thread now closed! Enjoy reading the confusion this thread created. Good Times!

The Sims 2
 

hi gamecopyworld has put the dodgy crack on there site for download under the sims 2 this is the same exe that doesnt allow build mode lmao

create an image(.mds/.cue/.ccd)>i got a PROBLEMREPORT from win xp
 

Hallo

first: my english is bad


i have 2 pc.

the first and my pc (athlon 2400+,512 mb ram, sony dvd und cd-rw, geforce ti 4200 128mb, win xp home edition)

-i made an image for all 4 cd by alcohol 120 v.:1.9.2_1705 (.mds)
-install full game from image (mount every cd-image)
-unmount all drives
-install daemon v.:3.4.6
-mount image (.mds) without any emulation
-it starts without any problems (with buildmodus etc.)
(the first time)
-the second time it does not start
-but i made an image with clone cd (.ccd and .cue)
-i uninstalled clone cd and mount the .cue image with daemon
=no problem
-i can play the full game

the first times the startsign from sims 2 start, but it go back to the desktop with a "PROBLEMPEPORT" "SEND PROBLEMREPORT" or " NOT SEND"

follwing report in german:

"the sims hat ein problem festgestellt und muss beendet werden.

falls sie ihre arbeit nicht gespeichert haben, können daten mögl. verloren gegangen sein.

DIESES PROBLEM BITTE AUCH AN MICROSOFT BERICHTEN.
Ein Problembericht, den sie uns senden können, wurde erstellt. wir werden diesen bericht vertraulich u. anonym bearbeiten.
Um zu senden, welche daten ihr bericht enthält, klicken sie hier.

PROBLEMBERICHT SENDEN NICHT SENDEN"

-but this happens only with the alcohol image, not with the clone cd image.


but it´s ok at my pc, because i can play with tha other image.


now the really problem:

the second pc, the one from my wife:
duron 800, 512 mb ram, dvd/cd rom, lg cd-rw, geforce ti 4200 64mb, win xp home edition.

-i made it like the same as above

-i made an image for all 4 cd by alcohol 120 v.:1.9.2_1705
-install full game from image (mount every cd-image)
-unmount all drives
-install daemon v.:3.4.6
-mount image (.mds) without any emulation

the game does not start, it goes back to the desktop with the problemreport (like the first time at my pc)
i made an image with clone cd (.cue /.ccd), a new image with alcohol (.mds) and an image with blindwrite.

everytime i get the problemreport(with all different images).
if i emulate all diferent images with rmps, laserlock, safedisc
or securom (singled and togehther, all variations), everytime
i get the problemreport.
the game does not start, i can do what i want.

WHY? WHY? WHY?
at my pc the game starts, but not at the pc from my wife?
what can i do?
i have uninstall sims 2 and installed it new, from the original cd
, from the images, all.
i have even installed win xp new.

PLEASE HELP ME

PS: if sombody tells me, that my wife and i should change the pc, "never ever", because i like the game, too.

at both pc the game should go.

thank you. i hope the thread is not to long....

greatings MiB

firstly, that is not only a sexist comment but also mindless and stereotipical...how could you possible define "Girls game" and "boys game"? you can't. it's all personal preference and has nothing to do with gentics or hormones. :) that is all. :p

the sims 2
 

what the **** has that got to do with the sims 2 lol u got me from my game of cs to see what ud wrote once again lmao this is the forum for games not genetics or anything else like that

and another thing this game is aimed at girls ffs y would a bot or guy want to build and make a family and another thing this game is a game for sad ppl who want to be imerged in fantasy and dont have realy friends thats y this game is so popular lol cos theres a lot of sad ppl out there willing to play it and before u say y do i have it my 6 year old daughter plays it so of course the above doesnt count and she is not yet in a possition to gain mates or otherwise

and can i please have an snswer to BountyWarrior's first post as ive tried to get it to work on dvd it says insert disk 1 huuuu

and another thing u say ur english is bad laughin my arse off but u have puctuated ur words to near perfection now how is this possible for someone not very good at english lol

More girls play this game than boys. More girls than boys look at Big Brothers, Temptation Island, Paradise Hotel, more on.
More Boys than girls like Action like Doom 3, Half Life, Far Cry movies like Bad Boys II, The Rock, Con Air, Steven Bruckhiemer production movies :P, series like Fear Factory, Smallville, 24H, Alias.

But I guess that's 51% girls agaisnt 49% boys like the girl thing I did mention. And 51% boys agaisnt 49% girls like the boy thing I did mention....

Yea, I agree. I know lots of guys who play the Sims and lots of girls who play Counter Strike. Saying a game is a "girl's" game or a "boy's" game shows just how ignorant you are.

Hahaha, that comment was firmly made with tongue in cheek ;)

About GCW hosting the 'broken' crack. Nothing to do with me. Maybe the crack was sent in before people relised it was broken? Ever think about that? If you post in the GCW Support Forum, you might be able to get EMPiRE to remove the crack.

One good thing about the crack being broken, it stops girls from messing about with your number one hobby, Gaming! Although now you are probably having to listen to them constantly bitching about the game not working or the build function not working properly or does their bum look big in that dress (for the last time, no!). Girls, only good for one thing, eh? ;)

17 September 2004
Added the No-CD for: The Sims 2 v1.0 [ENGLISH] (PC) - Thanks BountyWarrior & _Engel_.

Ahhh. That is interesting. ;)

official sims 2 lol
 

is it me or someone goin to cry l.o.l

im sure they didnt no i was just pointing it out so that ppl didnt download it then bitch on here about it not working when there is about 1,000,000 threads covering this lmao....

by the way to the ppl who own this forum nice work guys & gals if theres any lol(see how i managed to keep with etiquette there)

What the hell? When did I post that? :confused:

Fine its steriotipical but any guy who acually enjoys that game should take a close look at the pink paint all over his living space and think long and hard. No offence to you Dave.

Ha ha ha ...good one :D

Fixed-exe
 

Hey at all!
I've installed the game and replaced the original exe by the fixed-exe of gamecopyworld.
The game started and everything seemed to work. But when I wanted to build a house, all of the tools didn't work. Does anyone know the problem?
What have I done wrong?

yeah man this crack sucks big time! isn't there some l33t h4x0r out there that can make another one that actually works!!?

regards,
MountainDew

ReelBigFish, like MountainDew and others have said, the crack that is currently available on numerous sites, GCW included, does not work properly. I'm sure a new one will be out soon ;)

yeah hopefully because my gf and i are having a domestic crisis because of this!! ;)

Sorry BountyWarrior, Don't mind me! I was in a serious mood at the time and needed my coffee :D can anyone tell me if there is there any "easy" way to learn to make nocd cracks? or would I have to learn assembly :confused: if there's already a thread about this please let me know, I'm a newb. Thanks!

Davethewave
Take it from a rather experienced programmer who has tried to learn to crack: It is NOT easy.
It's not impossible however. Apart from the few programs that will allow you around certain protections and generate and exe for you, it's going to take some time to learn. Learn Hexadecimal, learn binary, learn assembler, learn C++, and get softICE. There's lots of good guides out there if you're willing to find them. Keep in mind that I'm a C++ programmer and haven't ever cracked a thing in my life (haven't had enough time to sit down and learn assembler very well). I'm going off of guides I've seen or read. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me. Good luck, and have fun.

MountainDew, a crisis? How about using the original cd? oh unless you aint got it, wich sounds like it...

wah, installed this crack first and my pc didnt stopped crashing :/ hmk, so i ll have to wait for a working one.

But I installed sims on my mums laptop and it worked without a crack at my first try ...

As the No Cd apparently doesnt work right yet, can someone please post a link as to where i can get the original file back so i can use the build tool again?

Perhaps all of those seeking the No-CD crack should just be patient and wait a few more weeks to see if another one is released. Just use the original for the time being and keep checking GCW periodically for any updates.

If you dont have an original, read the rules. We do not support piracy here.

The ultimate solution.

SIMS 2 PLAY and BACKUP without NoCD-Patch.

Install the Game 'full' on drive C,D,E or F ...
Make a Image from CD1 with CloneCD v5.0.* (Safedisk2/3).
Mount this Image with Alcohol 120% 1.9.2 (1705).
"YOU NEED 1 VIRTUAL DRIVE WITH ALCOHOL 120"
Switch ON SafeDisk-Emulation.
Switch OFF the function: 'Hide CDR-Media' with CloneCD-TrayIcon.

Play your bought Game without CD and original files.

Save and build no problem.

Have fun ... and Greetz @ all Sims2 freaks.

CYA !!! :rolleyes: :) :rolleyes:

Working sims2 crack! (Mini-iso)
 

Allright! b314x of EFnet made this mini-iso that works for Sims 2!

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 (Its the CD with ALL programs ripped out, so its JUST the safe checks) and you go and play! Make sure your using the ORIGINAL sims2.exe in your game directory and not the bad money one or IT WON'T WORK

http://www.home.no/croyfer-9/thesims...1.PlayDisk-RIP

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

Distributing this file may be considered warez. So be warned.

Anyway, just make your own image using Alcohol and then make a mini-image using Mini Image Ripper (MiR). Works like a charm. I used disc 1.

Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime.

This is the exact same technique I use for Battlefield games.

Jackbunny,
Thanks for the info :)

don't know if the images fix thing is warez, but I do know that's 60% of this topic was totaly waste of reading and have mostly 3% of Sims 2 to do with. I smell that is working effectlely in here! (not)

What the **** are you on about? I guess you prefer millions of other threads popping up for this game?

I could care less about mini images. They have been shared on here before and I dont see why this one should not be.

No darling (♥) I don't. But in this topic many replies is full of crap, like this replie! I'm krondike only I have to offer is crap. Crap CRAP crap!

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

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

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

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

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

Ha Ha Ha
 

ha ha,,www.aria.co.uk sell brand new cd-rom's for only £15 a brand new lite-on 52x writer costs only £20 l.o.l u tight c.u.n.t (giggles) the game cost me £34.99 u could buy 2 roms for that

Take your crap elsewhere then

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
