I stated this in the REL VS. RZR thread. But on my system the RZR version just refuses to run. the screen flashes and TS3.EXE is running in the applications but that's about it. I downloaded and used the crackfix I even ran the "update" and nothing. The reloaded version works fine or as fine as it can before my PC overheats and shuts down
Oh, one of the crackfixes is a Trojan. You probably now have something called "Codec.exe" running amok on your system. You need to unrar the offending "executable" and find the REAL executable inside.
Fuckity fuck fuck.
How about "CODEC.EXE-2054E389.pf"? Got it today, the day I tried to install the Razor version, which stalls my system. And I scanned it, too! This was the game install, not crack itself.

That defo looks like a virus of sometype... there shouldnt be any .pf files.. there should only be a 180 odd K exe that is the keygen, and then the zip/rar with the crack fix.. or might need to obtain that in a different torrent...
where are these torrents coming from?
maybe if you post links here, those of us that have it already can see if it "looks" clean, to save all the issues? (just a thought)

Sims3_1.0.632.00002_from_1.0.631.00002.exe
Sims3_1.0.632.00107_from_1.0.631.00107.exe
The rar files are named slightly differently to that above, in case The Box is looking for any specific files. I'm probably just being paranoid, but hey.
I only saw the two patch files mentioned on MATY, not sure if there were more.
ETA: 1.0.631.00002 is for the DVD/RZR release.
1.0.631.00107 is for the Digital Download release of the game.
Cheers Kralore.
This.
Thanks :D, I'll do what Pescado posted :)

It was the first Razor torrent to come off PirateBay. I've lost which one it is by now, but it was a split one. Unraring the Sims3Setup.exe revealed a codec.exe file. I'd been paying attention to that issue for Reloaded, but didn't even think to look for it on the Razor one. Anti-virus is beating it into submission now, and cleaned file will be used shortly to install the game.
Note, this was NOT the crack fix. This was the full-game download.

Edited my initial razor vs reloaded post to amend my 'there is no trojan!' pronouncements. Sorry! Didn't actually get mine via torrent.
