Sims 2 Open for business No CD..

[DarkLeftos]

Here is some info on Open For Business, to clear things up:

1. There is no DVD version. The CD contents are even less than 700MB, why would they bring out a DVD version?
2. You can't play with a mini-image, you'll have to make one using the Safedisc 2/3 (NEW) profile in Alcohol, don't worry about the read errors.
3. There is no need for Curerom, Safedisc Hider or anything. Daemon 4.0.3 does the trick for me, even with all emulation off.

I am new here as well and did some reading before I said anything. Just to clear things up you are allowed or not allowed to ask for help with games via daemon and other tools here?

I got sims2 open for business and I am sorta used to the HOW TO parts via my older sims nightlife but I am having a small issue here with this new one and dont want to get banned. Please advise

thanks

This worked for me, with a minor addition... It wouldn't work, unless I used CureRom and created a profile for OFB. I made an image of my copy using Safedisc 2/3 (NEW) profile in Alcohol, and mounted it with the latest Daemon (4.03HE). After that, I just use the shortcut I created with Curerom.

This works until a working mini-image comes out....

About the nickname... don't mind it... I created it a long time ago... just haven't used it until now.

I guess some people need to make a CureROM profile then... Is it a matter of motherboard chipset again?

Umaynome (if that's You May Know Me), you're allowed to ask for help about images and Daemon, Alcohol, CureROM etc. as long as it's an image made from your original CD/DVD, not one downloaded illegally from the web.

Mine works only with full image mounted with Alcohol 120 and SafeDisc 4 Hider v1.1
The full image has been made by me from my cd, settings : safedisc, 4x

I also had to close SafeDisc 4 Hider before launching the game.

Mine is working with Daemon Tools V.4.3 and SD4 Blocker. No problems. I had problems before using these because my system came with Nero and runs a Nero check at startup. It seemed to be causing the game to refuse to load, plus I had an older version of Daemon Tools. Oddly, the game itself installed fine, and even loaded okay the first time or so, then I'd stick the cd in and get an error that it wasn't in the drive or nothing would happen. Soon as I got the tools, no problems.

Me again

I went on the computer of my oldest daughter to put the mdf and sd4 hider, launched the game to be sure that everything was ok ... and it didn't work!
So, I downloaded curerom (I have never used it before) and it worked! + the game seems to launch faster with curerom than sd4.

Mine works with daemon and diskhide4......used the mini off here...
