Thanks for the patch thing, didn't realise it worked for pirated games as MTS aren't a massive advocate of it. And it was almost 2am you 'speeshul' person, I was commenting as I was about to turn off my laptop and sleep so it was convenience. Well thanks for the patch thing - patching atm not sure if I'll need to redownload the worlds, hopefully not but if I do I do.
ETA: Worlds have apparently installed however the new patch now means that it wants the game disc.... I'm fucked if I'm honest - I deleted the ISO aaaaaages ago and EAxis demolish all uploads of the Sims via NZB (I don't Torrent) within minutes :/ bugger.
Any advice? Googe has lead to the Sims forums but they're genuine purchases and it's 'contact our department blah blah'
