Newbie to arr'ing here. Can I someone recommend a good, freeware/shareware virtual drive creator? Yeah, I know, Daemon Tools (Google is my abusive butoccasionally helpful friend), but I can't afford it. Don't get me wrong; I've figured out how to find them. I just want to know which ones are actually good and won't cause my drive to stop working after the 30-day trials ends or something.

I told myself after Spore that I wasn't giving EA one more cent, and this time, I mean it.


MagicDisc.

I believe you can still download Daemon Tools Lite (by confirming that you are using it only for home & personal use).  I'm also new to this, and I downloaded it that way.  Here's the link:  http://www.daemon-tools.cc/eng/downloads.  If you scroll down to Daemon Tools Lite you will see that they ask  "Are you going to use DAEMON Tools Lite at home personally and not for commercial purposes? If "Yes" then press on "Download" and get it for Free!".  That's what I did.

roflcopter...
I own legit TS3 (yes, I bought it).  I cannot install the expansion because of the region the game thinks it is.

You want to fix this? In regedit... HKLM\SOFTWARE\Sims\The Sims 3.  Change SKU value to 7.  Then yay, it installs. Screw EA.

Do you then need to change it back to your original region code SKU on both the base game and the expansion?  Please let me know.  Thanks.

ETA:  I also have a legit TS3 - and downloaded the expansion.

Same. I downloaded from here and did not have to edit the registry at all.
