Title: Freshly installed game won't load Post by: Andygal on 2010 August 03, 21:17:22 Right, so I decided to get back into Sims 2, being dissatisfied with Sims 3 and the BugProgression, having lost most of my disks I chose to pirate it. I got a pirated copy of Sims2 Deluxe plus all expansions and stuff packs up to Apartment life (didn't get the last two stuff packs last stuff pack I have is Kitchen and Baths)
I got everything installed (had to download a second torrent of OFB as the one I got first wouldn't install), replaced the AL .exe with a no-CD cracked .exe and I've been trying to run it, but it keeps freezing on a blank blue screen and giving me a crash error message as soon as I Alt+Tab out of it. I have an ATI Radeon HD 4800 series video card, and I've just updated the drivers today. Sims 3 runs OK with both EP and the stuff pack installed. I don't have Securom installed (I've been through the registry looking for it to make sure) I deleted the accessory.cache file (didn't have any other .cache files. Also deleted the content registry in the AL folder. Is there anybody that can give me some advice?

You could ask EA for replacement disks, I was about to for my strange NL disks. It's worth a try.

Title: Re: Freshly installed game won't load Post by: wizard_merlin on 2010 August 12, 06:03:06 Did you patch AL? Also, check your no-CD crack and make sure it is compatible with the patched/unpatched game.
If the game is patched and the no-CD .exe was made for the unpatched version, or vice-versa, it could be causing problems. Title: Re: Freshly installed game won't load Post by: Andygal on 2010 August 14, 01:48:27 I did patch AL, I have the no-CD crack from gamecopyworld, (the 1.16.0.194 version).
