Thanks guys, I didn't even think of looking in the old Sims link. Now, if I apply the crack and make a backup of the original exe just in case there is another future expansion, will that still be considered an original install, if I put the orig exe back. Meaning, do you think the next expansion will recognize a previous version of the Sims(House Party) or is the SD2 protection just to recognize the CD in the Drive. If this is the case, I am determined to make a 1:1 backup without needing the crack.

btw- Do I need to copy any Dir from the CD to the hard drive. ie..music..stuff like that.
