FT no CD-Crack

[ChibyMethos]

Where can I find the no CD-Crack for FT? I'd like to play it, but I refuse to delete Dameon Tools or any other programe on my computer.

www.gamecopyworld.com, for all your cracktastic needs.

Excellent

Just wondering if this is just me, but a while back I got a crack from gamecopyworld for Seasons. Everything worked fine, but then I gotms with disappearing motives. The bars would still be there, but not the text indicating which motive it was. Took the crack out, everything back to normal.
Similar thing happened when I cracked Uni, kid's grades wouldn't go up anymore.

Am I missing something here? Am I supposed to do anything other than just replacing the original exe with the crack?

Cracks sometimes go wrong.  Try a different version.

Yea, I remember a case of a wonky no-CD crack for OFB that had to be updated.  And there's also the 'hybrid monster game' issue, where you apply a patch to the game, but use a non-patched no-CD exe to run it.  This has been know to cause problems in the past, which may explain why new versions of the no-CD cracks appear almost the same day as the official EA patch appears.

Okay here's a stupid question and feel free to answer it via PM. Since I got screwed by EA over the whole BV/SecuRom thing, I won't buy any of their games now. How do I play my legal version of BV (aside from putting it in the disc tray, I am scared to death to) and stuff like Free Time? Yes I know the obvious answer "you don't" but I'm sure there are "other means".

Install it and then replace the game's .exe file with a no-CD crack before you play it. There's more details about this in the SecuROM sticky post. As a bonus, you won't have to put in the CD every time you play.

Hmn.. interesting. So I can install BV but SecuRom never runs or installs unless I play directly from the BV CD? This the case with others like Free Time? I'm assuming I can score a No-CD crack from the same site that was linked earlier.

[Zazazu]

As long as you install on the administrator account on your PC, yup.

Works for me. Maybe I'll get a used copy of Free Time then and just No-CD crack it.

Well, now THAT would *technically* be illegal, if  the previous owner still plays the game. (If not, I think it's legit.) Of course, many of the users on this site pirate the games, so using someone else's disk to install the game is hardly as bad. I personally refuse to buy any more Sims 2 games after having plagued myself with SecuRom. I myself am debating pirating the game, but I won't get the game at all until most of the borkenness and irritations have been fixed.

Well I was considering pirating for the sole reason that EA owes me $100+ for computer repairs thanks to their shitty copy protection but I have no idea how to install or use a pirated copy. Google is not my friend in this, I need plain and simple instructions.

Otherwise, I'll grab a used copy off Ebay once it's patched/no CD cracks are patched.

Now what about Teen Style Stuff? Does that require a no-cd crack if you're running all expansions up to BV?

[BigFatLady]

no, I thought that, but when I got TSS I still had to have the BV disc in

Thankyou Zazazu for the link to game copy world, it's the only way I've been able to get the damn thing to load, you have saved my sanity!
