thanks

I just wanted to let you guys know what exactly I did. I was having trouble with the build options also not working.

- After putting the 4 images onto seperate cds using the .ccd format (couldnt tell whether to use .ccd or .cue so I used the one with CD in it)

- I downloaded and bought alcohol 120%.
Those of you who don't want to buy it, can always download a free trial.
- Next I opened up Alcohol 120% and looked for images on the left side, and had it look in the folder I put the Sims 2 cd images. I then selected CD 1 image and It showed up in the main screen.

- I then clicked emulation, then extra emulation and click the first box: BAD Sectors Emulation so that it compromised for the SafeDisk. In the extra emulation screen the boxes in order from checked to not are: Bad - Checked. The rest I left blank.

- In the Emulation tab I have the top two boxes checked: Ignore and Launch, the last one is open.

- After this was done I minimized Alcohol 120%, then double clicked on the Sims 2 icon, with the ORIGINAL .exe in the TSBin folder. When I loaded the image into Alcohol 120% it came up with this dialog boc with a Red X and no message. I click OK, or whatever the button was and didnt worry about it.

- After ignoring the message popup when I loaded the image, the double clicking on the Sims 2 shortcut on my desktop, I played Sims 2, tried out the build option. AND IT WORKED!!!

- As A sidenote: I played for about 5 hours that night, very addicting.

Well I know that this procedure had been put up here, maybe not in the exact length of description but the overall theme. I first had a question on whether to use .ccd or .cue, if it made a difference, and I pretty much answered it myself. I hope this helps someone who was having the same problem as me. I personally couldnt get the mini-image, or of course the .exe from GCW to work. Have fun!

Sorry,i don't want to be rude,but when do we expect a proper crack for the sims 2??(a crack with build mode working)

PS:Sorry for my English!

Thats a good question!

I dont think anybody, on here, can tell you when a fully working crack will show up. Maybe this game will go the way of TOCA Race Driver 2
