No CD Crack for Seasons?

« on: 2008 April 13, 01:22:12 »

Halp?

Because I'm not technically literate enough to fix a broken CD drive, I downloaded a no-cd off of gamecopyworld.com to smash any possibility of TS2 Seasons withdrawal.

But when I try to load the game, after the painstaking startup vid, it freezes, and I get an error message with no text in it.

Am I royally fucked until I can afford a repair on the drive, or what?

Did you get the no-cd craked exe, or the iso?

Is it for the patched version of seasons?

Did you put it in the right place?

Did you create a shortcut that points to the craked exe (if that's what you downloaded)?

This is your checklist. For safer usage of the no-cd cracks, follow the instructions that come with the download, then do whatever fancy stuff you would normally do. Also make sure you're actually downloading what you think you're downloading.

Go to C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2. Delete "cigen" and "groups.cache". The lovely no-name error is what happens to me every time those need regenerating.

Unfortunately, regenerating those files didn't work. D:

I have the .exe, version/patch is unlisted on the website, placing is normal, and yes, there's a shortcut to it on my desktop.

Trying to RTFM has come to no use, because Vista says the file is either corrupted or unreadable.

What file type is the manual?
Where did you put the no-cd?

One day in college I was feeling very stupid. So I drove with Ben down to Maitland and toured EA Tiburon for an hour as an 'honorary intern'. I left feeling MUCH smarter. I recommend the experience to everyone. -this is a quote from an Ex-boyfriend of mine..

Did you install the Seasons patch? If you applied Seasons patch, the NoCD on GCW won't work anymore, as it was made for unpatched game only. Running the patched game with outdated NoCD will result Unholy Hybrid and should be avoided. AFAIR, NoCD for patched version of Seasons never came out, as there was no pressing demand for it back in pre-Securom days. You could safely run the game with the combination of Daemon Tools and SafeDisc hider.

Download Fixed Image off GCW, mount it on Daemon Tools, run anti-blacklisting tool like YASU or SD4Hide before you start the game.
