Technical problems with THE HORROR: downloading, installing, and running it
cheezwiz:
My antivirus chirped on on the crack .exe in the Razor torrent currently on Demonoid. I wound up grabbing a Pirate Bay-tracked Reloaded one. There was a somewhat unusual Sims3Setup.exe in there, but none of this codec.exe/etc stuff inside, just usual file components (and a Verisign certificate, for whatever that's worth).
Also, note that the "official" setup, at least in the clean version, launches out of Autorun.exe. My guess is that it's made for the ease of computer newbies who don't know how to activate a setup program. I'm not entirely certain how that relates to the installation of SecureRom, though. It's possible that if someone did write another installer for the game, they did it to stop it from installing the copy protection. Or it might just be an unfinished installer the devs were working on. Or it could just be a virus. Who knows.

Today when I opened the game this message appeared: :-\
"You are playing a non-final, unauthorized copy of The Sims 3. Purchasing and registering an official copy of The Sims 3 will entitle you to benefits including access to an entirely new game town called Riverview, 1000 SimPoints which can be redeemed for game objects in The Sims 3 Store, and access to The Sims 3 Exchange."
Is it true that it is not the final version?
sorry for my google english
Depends, are you playing reloaded, razor, or razor plus final patch?
And they can say you are not playing the final version every time they make a patch. The game is only final when all work stops on it.

Hi!
Where did you guys download your game? cause mine it taking FOREVER :( I started it a few days ago and I only got 900MB...
If anyone has a link to a good torrent (or some other kind of downloading method) I would be grateful!!!
Pirate bay had the reloaded version with thousands of seeeders. DL that. Then DL the razor patch that was under 1 gig. It will update your game.
I DLed both in a total of about 4-5 hours.

Ok, so I'm new to arr-ing and I'm pretty sure I downloaded the Sims 3 RELOADED from Pirate Bay, but it's taking a really long time. I left it on all night and it's still at 45%. The ETA keeps jumping from 22 hrs. to 3 days depending on how many KB/s is going down or up. I have all the expansions installed. Should I uninstall a few of them? Would that make it go faster? Oh and the entire package I'm downloading (with utorrent) is 4.93 GB. Is that too much?

You may have to optimize your connections and decrease your upload rate based on your connection speed.
There are torrent wikis that will tell you how to set them. Personally I prefer azureus because the DHT system seems to grab more people, but thats just me.
