This is what i did:-Install the first original 'THE SIMS'.
Replace the executable file with the No-CD crack.
Make sure that it works.Then install the CD of 'THE SIMS-Living it large' to the same Folder as 'THE SIMS',It should do it automatically for you.
Now when you want to play THE SIMS-Living it large
play it with the CD on the CDROM.
If you want to play 'THE SIMS' (original) just take out the CD from the CDROM.
I have no problems with it and i never needed the patch for 'The sims-Living it large'.
Hope it works for you.
