You guys who are playing the game should visit the technical section of this forum alittle more & help us poor suchers who cant play the game yet, since its obvious you guys are in teh know when it comes to running the game...


Then also people will need to give good advise because there are several people who have problems with spontanious reboots of the system. Anyone knows a fixx for this problem? And if the error accurs with kinda of videocard do you have. Mine is having problems of rebooting with a GF5600.

Grtz!

Worked for me...I hope this little guide I found works for you too.

***********************************
How to get Sims2 to run.

If you have Alcohol120% installed do the following -

Under emulation untick all 3 ie;

ignore media...
launch ....
RMPS ....

Under extra emulation untick all 3, ie;

Bad sectors ....
Sub Channel ....
Laserlock ....

Set Virtual Drive to 0 (zero) and exit the application.

Some people have reported Clonecd to be the problem, so if none of the above work for you try uninstalling clocnecd, it is clear that emulation is being detected.

If you don't have Daemon tools installed do so now and reboot when asked, make sure you have the latest version that contains an XP-SP1 fix.

Right click the toolbar icon for Daemon tools and point to emulation, make sure Safedisc is ticked.

Right click the icon again and select virtual Cd/DVD (drive) and select Device 0, then mount image. Browse to your Sims2 image files and mount sims2_1.CCD

Enjoy the game.

Finally i was able to Burn this fucker.
Maybe this will work for others who couldnt/cant burn it?

Application:
Alcohol120%_1.9.2.1705

1. Enter the "Image Burning wizard"
2. Select your'e Image (*.ccd *.img *.mdf)
3. Write Method: RAW DAO
4. Make sure "Enable buffer underrun technology" and "Bypass EFM error" is ticked ON
5. Datatype: Safe Disc 2/3
6. Write speed: Either 8x or 16x if i went any higher the cd got fucked.
7. Burn Yourself a "Backup" copy of The Sims 2 Smile


There's nothing to winning, really. That is, if you happen to be blessed with a keen eye, an agile mind, and no scruples whatsoever.

The Sims don't speak english. Its gibberish.

Right. But I have the build from France so my characters sound French. Does anybody know how to change it. Even if they can't sound American, it is just that French is so annoying.

Rofl that would rock if there were different accents of Simlish, but no, it's all one big language no matter what language you chose to install as.

That is cause you are using a crack. If you don't have the space for an image or got the Money version, go to gamecopy world and download the mini image. It works like a real image except its small (has no Sims2 data just emulated the CD Check OK I guess.)

And alternative is also BT (the NoCD workaround download.)

Ok, The default folder for the pics and videos and all that is in:
C:\Documents and Settings\<name>\My Documents\EA Games
Though because of limited space I have to move it over to my 2nd drive....


I tried to look in the regeditor after the values and the default path... But i have come to that conclusion that it isnt the keys in the reg editor that judge where our sims folder on C:\ is located... So i tried to move the folder away from the original position: C:\Documents and Settings\<Name>\My Documents\EA Games To a 2nd Hdd and tried to launch the game... But the folder gets created again... In the exact same position...

So what is controlling the default path of the "fan" folder for sims 2?...

Please help :S

--- FOUND A SOLUTION TO PLAY THE GAME FROM CD ---
So i wanted to be able to play that game from disk or without any files from HDD needed.
And that's what I did and what you should give a try:

Copy the whole disk 1 via explorer on your HDD into a folder
Also add a subfolder (crk or so) containing one of the miniAlcs from xxx.gameburnworld.com
Then burn the whole shit with N3ro on a CD and label it "Sims2_1"
(Installation just worked fine, no problems at all)
Mount the miniAlc-file (.mds) in Alcohol120 from the CD (burned before)
And then just start the game and there... IT WORKS

Well I know it's not a real crk, but at least you won't need any files from your HDD anymore and therefore it's also a kind of backup.
