hmm.. yeah. installation was fine. but i couldn't play without the original disc, so i'm dead if i lose it. 

asking a dumb question here:
i tend to lose small things like cds easily so i'd like to back the sims2 cds up.
i'd really like to put all 4 into 1 dvd, how do i get about doing it?

(i'm under the impression that i've seen something similar before, but i can't find it, so sry if it's redundant)

I got bump mapping all right, but I never got object specularity.  Now, no wonder all my objects look a tad shade darker than in the thumbnails. Is there any way to enable that though?
