File from disk (because technically I did break it)
lgfuad:
I wasn't sure if I should post this here or in the wcif thread. I have kind of an odd, probably not allowed request.
My first disk of the Bon Voyage is damaged. I tried doing the manual install, but there is one file that won't copy onto my hard drive. I was wondering if it was possible for someone to share the compressed file on disk one? Or would that not work because of the serial number? Well, if anyone could or would I'd appreciate it.

Conversely, you could simply "arrr" a copy of the EP - no more disk problems evar! Get a no-cd crack and get rid of suck-u-rom while you're at it.

I did "arrr" Ikea, AL, and FT, but I'm nervous about it because presently, my new comp doesn't have antivirus.
Kind of off topic, but what were those things you were talking about? Do I have to download more stuff in order to play these "arrred" games? I didn't have to do that with the Ikea one.
jolrei:
IKEA is a stuffpack, not a full EP. All the EPs have their own Sims2EPX.exe file which is what loads the game. If you run from the original .exe file, you will end up with Securom DRM software stealthily loaded onto your system. If you have arred AL, you are already likely running from a no-cd crack, so you might be okay. If you have questions about this, you should read the "how to get rid of Securom now" thread, which is stickied in the Podium.
Stuffpacks do not run "on their own".
As to your point about not having antivirus, there is no excuse for this. There are a bunch of freeware, or cheap as free versions (Avast, Avira, and others) which will do the job and are available for download. For suggestions, search MATY for "antivirus".
lgfuad:
I just got the comp two days ago. I have to go buy the antivirus tonight. I didn't install the arrred al or ft yet. Just downloaded them. But one says it needs to be mounted on a disk, which is what I did for Ikea. I guess I'll have to obtain BV that way too.
Thanks for the help.
