Do not run. Ever. I set up my shortcut to go straight to the cracked exe, bypassing launcher.

Sorry if I sound stupid but how do you do that, I have just been turning off my wifi before I launch the game, but if there is another way please let me know.

Left-click the desktop shortcut, select Properties.  Edit the Target path to go to TS3.exe instead of the launcherwhatever.exe.  Apply. Save. Voila.

My crack doesn't seem to be working for this game. I generated the code, used it for registration, and now the game keeps asking me to enter it again and it won't accept the code. Does any one else have this problem ot knows how to fix it?

Are you using the launcher to start the game, and allowing the game to phone home (connect to the internet)?  If so, that's your problem.  Start using the crack, not the launcher.

Okay, I am taking the plunge and am in the midst of downloading. It took seven hours to get to 25%,  but I can live with that.  About the ISO files. Once they are burned to a disc what is their use? If we are playing with a no-cd crack, thus avoiding the deadly launcher,  do we run the disc with the ISO files?  Or are these files installed, in some way, on the hard drive. I hate to admit so much ignorance here, but I have been reading this thread over and over, and I just don't get it.  ??? This is my first experience doing anything like this.  But I am more than a little upset with EA at the moment and  feel I need to preview this game before buying it.  There are alot of things that aren't coming across as extremely likeable at this point.  I fully realize there will be changes made to the base game once EPs start flying at us, but  some of the core essentials of the game kinda leave me cold.  And I didn't really have very high hopes for this Sims3 from the moment it was announced.  So it isn't as if all my hopes have been squashed. It has been many months of 'wait and see' for me.

Anyway, I digress. My apologies. Yes, I am a total noob when it comes to arrring anything. I have done searches for information about the ISO files and now know what they are used for. I simply haven't been able to find out what to do with the disc.  :P  I think, and this is after four hours of searching and reading, that the disc will be used even with a no-cd crack?  Or do we install the ISO files from the disc? God, help me, I am so freakin' confused right now.  :P
