That's strange, because Alcohol 120% and Daemon Tools which are FAR more evil programs seem to not affect my game at all. ::)
OK. I can't load Sims2 with Alcohol 120%, Clone CD or Daemon tools installed on my system. My Nero, came with the burner & is maybe 2 yrs old, works fine, sims2 doesn't comment.

My roomie had the same problem when he first got the game (he had Nero, Clone CD, Alcohol, etc.). He ended up getting a no CD crack to work around it because there was no way he was taking anything off with all the CD burning he does.
The only no CD crack I saw, disables the build mode, which kind of wipes out a lot of the game for me.

I think it has something to do with the SafeDisc protection which specifically bans Nero, Clone CD and Roxio, which is ridiculous considering that anyone who buys a computer these days with a burner purchases one of these programs in order to use it.
Yes, one of the reasons I use burning software is to make a backup copy of all my PURCHASED CDs. As it is, I don't even have a full backup set of Sims1, from Hot Date on the CDs won't copy properly. I've had no success with sims2 and am just fairly religious about putting them away when not playing. I must have a go with Virtual CD and see if I can do it that way.

I can understand their (EA's) need to prohibit copyright infringement, but I don't see where that gives them the right to dictate to the paying customer what programs he/she can keep on his/her own computer.
I was utterly furious the first time this message came up. Who the fuck do EA think they are, dictating what I can and can't have installed on my own PC?!?
Ontopic at last: I won't be buying till October, I signed a pledge to say I'd wait for the end of the financial quarter in protest at the lack of a standalone patch for uni. The profit margin is all EA are interested in, and given I know I'll buy the EP at some point, I may as well buy at advantage for me and a disadvantage for EA.

I will probably buy it eventually, after it's been on Ebay for a while and I can get a decent used copy from Timbuktu or something. I'm saving my pennies for Zelda: Twilight Princess if it ever comes out! Groan!

Bah ... I haven't even been able to squeeze Uni into the budget yet .. NL is a long ways out.

There's some other good-looking games coming out next month. Nightlife can wait.
No kiddin! Shaolin Monks here I come!!
Zeljka:
heh heh,
I will buy University (which still looks excruciatingly boring and system draining, but I'm tired of having to forgo many of the coolest hacks and mods) when Nightlife comes out and it's selling for closer to what it's worth.
Since I actually want Nightlife, I will buy it once I get University fixed, by which time Nightlife should have enough improvements available to make it playable.
