NO, the programs won't interfere with each other, you can have both onwith no problem.
The sims is really easy to copy with clone CD.

See you,

Will CloneCD also work with the Sims: Livin' Large? If so, how long will it take and what options should i check?

i tried using clonecd to backup the sims. when reading the disc it will just sit at 0% and the log file says failed to read whatever sector and it keeps going on and on. i even tried reading the image through my writer but nothing seems to work. im assuming my writer or reader isnt compatible. is there any way i can backup this game with cdrwin? i read that rollercoaster tycoon had a safedisc protection but i successfully copyed that game with cdrwin so can i do the same with the sims?

Let it go on and on. It says its read errors but the cd will work anyway because Clonecd makes an exact copy.
It may take time to read the cd but don't give up.

trie and let the reading take place thru out the night and check if that works, i had to do that with Delta force LW
