Ambitions Torrent

[Thunderwolf]

Maybe that's the wrong place to ask for it, but I need some help. Before I can install Ambitions, I would need, an un-cracked, patched 3.2.8 from HELS. The Multi-language version.

Edit: So, the site there says to check the NFO. Opened it with NotePad and found my prize.

Thank you Sammy, would never have thought to use NotePad. 

Thank you, Grilledcheesesammie as well, as the poweriso was great.  Also for the mount advice, so lovely not to hear my poor disc drive grinding away.

An hour and a half of downloading and 3 hours friggen seeding (someone better appreciate it and pay it friggen forward!)  and I have been happily toodling around Twinbrook.   Must say it's just not the same without Awesome Mod, so I'm deliberately not saving my game until then.  Just going to fiddle a bit, hehe

Long weekend and  kids away, The Sims all to myself weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Well, I'm back to torrenting. I knew getting a legit copy today was too good to be true. Woke up and discovered my wallet had gone missing. If my friend can't find it at her place, I'm reporting it as stolen.

FML.

So I'm having the same exact "CD is not valid" crap happening to me, and it's really irritating.  I hate EA and all they stand for.  If and when anyone figures it out, or if I find something that MIGHT be helpful, I will be sure to post it.

Yeah, well thanks for the story of your life. Can I just tell you how much I'm enjoying loading Ambitions threads and finding yet another little - and I do mean little - snippet of your life story?

I'm giving up and just buying the game tomorrow after my driving lesson. My birthday's in August and I'll get birthday money from family members that will make up for the purchase, anyway, which I'll put towards university. Financial problem solved (in theory).

I think my connection just plain sucks. As of right now, I'm living with my parents (yeah, I'm so cool) so I have no control over any of the Internet settings and don't know too much about it, since I've never had any control over it.

I'm too cheap to pay for anything, especially since I lost my job and can't find another one AND I'm due to start university again this September and need every penny in my bank account to afford it.

So glad you're off to Uni and all, but if you're not yet 18, please just fuck off. Actually, why don't you just fuck off anyway, the noise to signal ratio is overwhelming.

Oh God, witch, I just noticed your signature line.  I had forgotten all about Alphatard's "wur is degrees!?!" thing.  Is our children learning?

[witch]

Our children is not. Especially our Texan children.

My torrent finally finished just now. I'm installing it.

I noticed when I read the installation instructions that the last step is "Die like the rest." Creepy much?  

EDIT: I'm 19, actually. Though for some reason, my forum profile says I'm 18, even though my birth year is 1990.

Die like the rest is their motto, I believe they are alluding to being top dog in regards to releases and cracks, and that any others will go down due to being slow and inferior.

And as for the 19-18 issue. Read the FAQs.

[rohina]

Okay, some of you retards are obviously noobs, but no one gives a FLYING FUCK how long your torrent is taking. Go do your homework while you wait, or something. Seriously, the next person who posts about how many more hours their torrent is going to be will have his or head TORN off by me. No one cares about your speshul snowflakism.

Post useful stuff about what EA fucked up the ass.

The fucked up simbots in the ass, real good; I mean really, how does a bot - which is made out of metal, scraps no less - become a ghost upon death? Just no.

[witch]

Would you deny a soul to a non-carbon based lifeform?

[snabul]

Ahh, thanks very much. It installed like a dream! How are you two accessing it without the disc?

On the disc is a Vitality folder, inside that is a Ambitions folder, inside it is a cracked .exe and .dll. I changed the name of the original .dll and .exe for backup purposes, and am using the cracked .exe. I have no idea what a Mac user would do, the few times I have gone about finding cracked .app files, I have come up mostly empty handed.

AM appears to not be working correctly right now, so it's no-cd feature is pretty worthless until we can figure out what the issue is.

Me, I change the Name of the cracked .exe and leave the original .exe as it installed. Then I start the game by the cracked .exe.

[J. M. Pescado]

The Twallanian NoCD functions just fine for noCD purposes. Messing with cracked executables introduces its own source of hassles.

[crunk]

So am I correct in inferring that if I'm using awesomemod and disabling the cd-check I can run the game off of the original exe without an issue?

Gee, I don't know. Disabling the CD-check would probably make it stop checking for the CD, but oooh, that one is so hard to figure out... better ask that question in more inappropriate threads to be sure!

Yes, You can!

Unfortunately only Sims3 is under Pescados wings (claws?), and you have to update your awesomemod.

Okayyy, so im gonna apologize in advance for the questions im about to ask, but im super lost&a bit confused. So, can i get in trouble from EA or anything from downloading this? &what do you have to do after you download it? Like in an easily understandable way please!

Look, file sharing is not a new thing. It's not a complicated concept either.

If EA is charging to download the expansion from their site and some other site is providing a download of it for free common sense says that EA probably didn't give it to them and tell them to provide it to everyone free of charge. Do the math!

As for getting in trouble with EA? Will they send men in suits to your house to collect you in a black van with dark windows? Probably not. Do they collect 'usage data' by phoning home in the background when you run the game. Yes. Could some of this data potentially provide them indication that someone obtained the game/expansion by less than legitimate means? Possibly. Are there ways around sending usage data to EA? Yes.

You have to weigh the pros and cons for yourself and use some common sense. I'm not sure what you want people to tell you. If you should download it? That's up to you!

Okayy, so I lack common sense, so this is going to be a very hard decision. but thanks!

[rohina]

Okayy, so I lack common sense,

I am startled by this shocking revelation.
