You can dowload "GameJack 4" here:

http://www.gamejack.org/ [14 days Trial-Version]

When you load this IMAGE in a Virtual Drive you can play the patched versions of "The Sims 2" without any CD!!!

I could send the IMAGE to GameCopyWorld, if someone wants to have it.

Would this work for the DVD US version after update.

I don't know if my created IMAGE of the PLAY DISC would also work for the US DVD-Version, probably not! Another problem is that the RAR-/ZIP-file is 733 MB big! I think that's to much for sending per E-Mail.

But you could try to make an IMAGE of your Sims2-DVD with GameJack 4!

Again thanks Monty. I made the image using GameJack for the US-DVD and it works fine. (although the image is 2.1 GB) I load using Deamon Tools and it works fine. I'm going to try A120 to make a mini-image and see what happens.
------------
I was able to make a mini-image disk (30MB) using A120. It barely got to 1% before I cancelled the read and saved the image file. Anyway this works great for the US-DVD version using emulators A120 or Daemon Tools. I'll try to get one smaller if I can slow the read down with A120 but it sets automatically to maximum read and is very fast. I'll try using CloneCD and see if this works also.
-----------------
I tried making a smaller image using CloneCD and after 4 seconds I still had a 30MB image!
