BV and no CD?
Rose Outlaw:
Has anyone heard any rumour that the Fairlight release of BV is borked and dooms the game to crash once you enter buy mode?
I haven't, but my sources are quite limited. However, I'm starting to blame BV for the constant crashes I experience and if it is really Fairlight who messed up, I might even aquire the original disc :)
pioupiou:
I'm playing with the fairlight release (I was not patient enough to wait for the release of BV in France, so torrented it) It is working very well for me, if you except the lag (water balloon related, fishing pathfinding related etc....). The legally purshased DVD is sitting on my desk, it has never seen the inside of my DVD player....
So I don't think the fairlight release is borked, no.
Rose Outlaw:
Pity.
moron:
1. Install the game, arrr'd or otherwise with a valid serial number.
2. Download Daemon Tools Lite 4.10 for x86 or x64 here - http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php?mode=ViewCategory&catid=5
3. Create an image of the disc, or better yet download the mini-image here - http://dl.gamecopyworld.com/?d=2007&f=NetShow-Sims2EP6_Mi!rar
4. Unrar and stow the image in a safe place. I use D:\downloads\ISO\Sims 2\ <name>
5. Download YASU 1.3xx here: http://ww2.cdmediaworld.com/cgi-bin/dl.cgi?f=YASU_1-3-7070!zip
6. Unpack YASU and stow it in a safe place.
7. Make a shortcut to "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Bon Voyage\TSBin\Sims2EP6.exe" (or wherever you installed Bon Voyage) - NOTE - this is a shortcut to the app, not the launcher utility.
8. Mount your image in Daemon Tools.
9. Start YASU, and use all options, cloak your devices.
10. Start BV from the shortcut you created in step 7 without the CD in your drive.
If you feel a bit tech savvy, Download DaemonScript from the Daemon Tools homepage here: http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php?mode=ViewCategory&catid=2
You can create a neat little script that mounts the image, loads YASU, then launches the game. RTFM for YASU to see the start up options, or just use -s -c if you like running on blind faith. If you're a Vista user, you'll need to know how to work around UAC settings to use the script though.

Even easier -- just get a no-cd EXE and eliminate all but steps 7 and 10. :)
