I've been playing the reloaded release 6 hours straight today, following at least 4 hours yesterday. No problems what so ever. It even installed quicker than any other sims game I've legally purchased.
So, I for one do not buy all of this "wonky" crack.exe malarky. Sounds to me like some of you troopers may have got corrupt torrents or downloads. All I can say if in doubt, download again.

Has anybody managed to get all the rld-sim3.rars from rapidshare ? I've spent half the day downloading them and I find my self being unable to get parts 22-26. I've checked MediaUpLoad, but they seem to be blocked there too. Any help from fellow pirate cats would be appreciated.
