Please help with The Sims.
Hello,
I was wondering if someone could please help me. I backed up copies of The Sims, Livin Large and Hot Date on my friend's computer (I don't have a burner) and I cannot for the life of me get Hot Date to run. It installs ok, but when I attempt to run the game, it gives me the red title screen and then says I need the CD to run the game, please restart. I have looked at the solutions provided in this forum but nothing seems to work for me. Everything I have applied from Gamefix seems to give me an error of "The Sims has caused an error in Sims.exe, shutting down" or something. Please tell me, is there something I am doing wrong? Or is it the backup itself that is the problem? I copied the files to the hard drive and then burned them to the blank. I am also running Euro versions, is this to blame? I am new to backing up CDs, and Windows in general, so I do not know all the technical terms, etc. Any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you, Kaori P.S. Please excuse my English, it is not my native language.

Did you get the right crack version? For the right expansion? I think it has to be the Hot Date one since thats the newest that you mentioned.
btw: Your english is quite good, you dont have to excuse yourself.

Hmm
I tried all of the Hot Date cracks on the page, and none of them worked. I have the feeling there is a step that I am missing and do not know about....is there an update I need to run on the program itself before the crack works? Do I need a special crack for Euro versions? I am running Win ME if that helps (ok I know it sucks, this is my husband's computer I have no say :P)

I dont know about the Sims since i dont have that game. Meaby you have to apply a patch before you crack. Have you tried Megagames, GameFix or Siedlers?

Sims install
Hi, I had this problem with my Mac. I emailed the Sims people at Maxis and they said that the order of install had to be: 1) Sims, 2) Livin Large and 3) House Party ( that was what I was trying to install at the time.) Took care of the error message. Hope that helps
