First off, I love this thread. SecuROM is the enemy. But after going through a little over half of it, I still have a question. I have every expansion except Pets installed (get to that in a second) with every patch (except Pets, obviously), and I just downloaded the no-CD crack from gameburnworld (Sims2ApartmentLifev1.16.0.194NoDVDFixedexeEng.rar, in case that matters at all? I checked, and it matches the version of the patched game I have installed). But, if I happen to, by some miracle, find my Pets Disk 1 (It sort of disappeared, I guess, but I do have the other disk), how would it work if I installed it? Meaning, do I just install that, grab the patch, and then install the no-CD crack version for the patched Pets? Would I then use that no-CD crack shortcut to run the game, or would I just not download the no-CD crack for Pets and keep using the Apartment Life shortcut? On my other computer, before I knew about SecuROM and it's evil nature, and back when I still had my Pets Disk 1, I installed all the expansions in order, because I could xD So, now I have no idea how to go about this whole installing Pets last thing -- if I do find it. If not, I suppose this is pretty much completely irrelevant.
