Sims 2 Open for business No CD..

[BeetleJuice]

Still not working here, not even the newly submitted images, must be because one of my installs was from dvd vs. cd?

[Blackmarket]

It works for me sometimes when i try to start with CureRom. But it works very seldom

[WhoGotYa]

I've tried everything to repeat the sucess I had lastnight. I was playing it ok and then quit the game, thinking "hey, it finally worked so I'm all good".

BAH...This morning, nothing works ! sd4hide, CureRom, the images recently posted with just Daemon Tools..Nada...Zip

So it seems to me that CureRom (which is what "accidently worked" lastnight) is the key but there is a randomness to this whole process that I don't like. I mean do I hafta wait till it's dark and the planets are properly aligned again before I can play using my image ? Or is this just a ploy by EA for me to wear out the media and then be forced to buy a replacement ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Does our method work ?

HAHA! it worked, i used daemon 4.03 to mount it used the safe disc4 hide thing and clicked the game and it booted right on up.

no, i sent you a private message please check it..

Did you install your open for busines from cd roms, or was it a dvd?

None of any of the methods anyone has listed has worked for me, i've tried them all...

i cant even use the newly uploaded images to gamecopy world, they all end up with the game saying i need the cd rom..

same here..this works for u and me so far.

Ok, those people that used Daemon tools and sd4_hide, care to tell wad emulation options had been enabled in Daemon Tools and which image ? Mini or Full ? cause, it only worked for me when i use CureRom + FULL image.

[BeetleJuice]

i used both images uploaded to gamecopyworld, mini/full no idea? all emulations are on, and options checked are automount, autostart, and tray icon..

I've read other posts/forums where u could delete registry keys for scsi and other posts where u could disable cdr drives and it would work and those options also have failed..

Well, mine only works if i used CureRom profile from gamecopyworld and Daemon Tools with Full IMAGE downloaded from torrent ..

EDIT: alrite, now its getting weird, now without CureROM, I just mounted the FULL Image and just ran the EXE and it works .. ? Simply working .. wtf ??

[crl2k6]

I bought this game, and it ran beautifully the first couple of times. Then i decided to try out the no-cd methods, and those don't work. I tried SD4 hider, Curerom, and nothing helps... See, my problem is different from most other peoples... When my game runs, after the intro movies, it just freezes and doesn't load any farther... Has anyone else experienced this problem??? Maybe theres a problem with my image, but i also tried both the mini images on the website... Someone help...
