Seasons failing to load.
neriana:
A mini image will allow the game to load without having the disc in the drive. You'll have to download a couple things to use it: daemon tools and sd4hide are what I use. The FAQs for those are pretty easy to follow. You can get the image at gamecopyworld as well. I prefer to use the image rather than a cracked .exe, personally. These should help if your problem is rooted in copy protection issues.
EA's "support" is notoriously bad. My cat could do better, because at least she wouldn't regularly give the wrong answers.
KatEnigma:
You don't need the daemon tools or to mount it, all you need is the hacked exe. What's stupid is I torrented it at first, so I didn't have to wait for EB Games to get off their asses and ship, and then when I got the disk, I reinstalled. But to get the damn thing to load every time, instead of 1 out of 3 or 4, I had to put back in the hacked exe! ::) Does the patch maybe fix it? (Okay, I know, what am I thinking? LOL)
Ionopachys:
The cracked exe worked. Thank you so much.
So basically they implemented some new copy protection device that is broken on some machines, even with the safedisk update? And I suppose that with the DMCA it is illegal for me to use the cracked exe, even if it's the only way I can use the software I legally purchased. I really, really hate these corporations.

Yep. Copy protection is idiotic and makes pirates of the most honest. But it's not illegal for you to use the .exe, as you bought the game. No matter what EA would have you believe.
Glad it worked for you :).
Weaver:
I use an image to avoid disc clutter and typically get a hung Sims2EP5.exe process. I'll go with the replacement .exe route.
Now the real challenge is finding a cracked executable for the Seasons patch. At the moment, there's no need though.
