You read the guide ??

Point II: Some tools and links
Get them!
(I was suggesting google just in case any link is dead)

Edit: Here is a protection list to make your life easier

The Sims Safedisc 1
The Sims Deluxe Safedisc 2.72.000
The Sims Livin' Large Safedisc 2.50.020
The Sims House Party Safedisc 2.10.030
The Sims On Holiday Safedisc 2.51.021
The Sims Unleashed Safedisc 2.80.010

I hope they are correct!

Don't forget to see if your writer supports safedisc 2, check this handy list. If your writer isn't mentioned, you can always try and see what happens, but I wouldn't recommend it. What you CAN do, is do like me and make images of all discs and backup the images themselves. I made images on my hard disk of all expansion packs + the original, up to and including Vacation. Then I compressed this with winrar 3.0, and I used a 700Mb volume size, so I got 4 files of 700Mb each and a smaller one, and I just wrote those files on the cds. Now everytime I want to install the sims I first have to decompress those image files and mount them with daemon tools, but the upside is that I don't need any cracks and I can use any patches, plus I finally have a backup.
