BV and no CD?
Bain:
I always use CD images instead of hacked exe files because then I don't have to worry about what version of the game I have because of patches. Every time you patch, you need to go grab a new exe file for the new version. The no-cd image I found HERE and yasu link provided there is what I used and run BV on with DT v4.1. I hate running games with the CD in the drive. All my games I buy I use no-cd images.

It's the same file for all versions of the game. Do a WinDiff on compressed.zip (which contains the game .exe) and you'll see that the file is identical between the multi lingual and us releases (and all others actually).
Good to know -- I was afraid if I used one of the multi-lingual versions, I'd have the problem of all my sim names changing. :)

Has anyone gotten no-CD to work with the EALink version of Bon Voyage? I'm having a hell of a time with it. Have tried three (as far as I can tell) versions of the crack. All give me an error stating that I don't have at least DirectX 9.0. I have 10.0 and have reinstalled to make sure that it's completely up to date. Running from the launcher works, but I hate having to rely on being connected to the 'net, just in case. Plus, it's two seconds lost.

I got mine at Game Burn World and it works fine. Tho I was wondering if you guys have this crazy pop up where you have to click Play before it loads the game appearing? Is it Maxis made? It's really anoying, ya know (doesn't seem to be spyware/addware thing but still)...

It is Spyware, and you should avoid it. The Pop-Up you are describing is the new Maxis "Launcher". To disable it, edit your BV shortcut (right click on it, then properties, and then alter the Target) so it points to "Sims2EP6.exe" instead of Sims2Launcher.exe". You will not need to change anything else in the path, since both files are in the same directory.
