make both programs their own a virtual drive ( this can be done within the programs)
mount a copy of each of the iso images found on gamecopyworld one on each drive.
make sure you have the orginal copy of sims2.exe in the tsbin folder
not these no-cd ones that dont work.
if you didnt backup your original file when you tried the nocd one, then tough, re-install the game.
in both alcohol and daemon tools, enable safedisc etc.
then uninstall clone cd (i think this is the program that causes the error message "emulation software detected etc... blah blah"
close both alcohol and daemon tools (dont leave minimized in system tray)
run sims 2 with no cd in the drive
this is exactly what i did and after 3 days of trying i finally play the sims 2 with no cd in the drive.scratch  |
I used this procedure installing the game yesterday
1. Install the GAME ( if you used non-working crack, re-install the game)
2. Put iso in easy to remember folder, mine is in my documents/SIMS ISO
3. Install Daemon tools (PC will ask to be restarted)
4. Enable Safedisk Emulation* (Right click on Dtools icon, click on emulation, click on Safedisk)
5. Mount image** (left click on Dtools icon then click on "Device 0: [X:] No Media" then search for the iso, and double click the iso)
5. Click on the Sims 2 shortcut and play the game
* I installed the game yesterday and forgot to enable safedisk emulation and was still able to play the game so step 4 may not be necessary
** Mounting an image looks to the PC as putting a cd in the cd-rom drive opening the contents of the mounted CD in Windows explorer, just close the window.
