ya real wonderful. I getting my next pc built from Micron (I live in Idaho) OK I tried the groups cache, still didn't work. Just get a gray box with a red X
Did you try the Wiki? http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Game_Problem
You put your No-cd, here? C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 FreeTime\TSBin ?
Where did you get your no-cd? You may want to try another, maybe the file is bad or the download went wrong.

I don't have BV or Freetime yet, but I was wondering as long as I got the no cd crack for when I play the game, would it be safe to go to the store, buy the game & install it with the original discs, or does just installing it put SecuRom on the computer?
Yes, you can buy the game and install with that. Install on a admin account, drop in the no-cd before you even try to open the game.

buy the game
It's much easier and cheaper to take another route. There are instructions for said route on this very site.

Amazingly enough, I now have a problem.
I torrented Sim City Societies and it installed just fine. I did not try to play it yet. I, like a dumb ass, patched with the 3rd Societies patch without checking to see if it's protection changed with the patch, before I installed said patch. I then spend an hour or so tring to get the game to run with A:Deamon B: Deamon+YASU, C: No-cd, D:Mini Image. It never started. In some cases, it would give me a "confliction with emulation software" message, others would get "insert correct cd in drive E" ignoring Deamon completely as drive K. OR it would show up in my processes and never start, it's mem usage would stay at one set amount. I learn on Deamon forum that in Societies 3rd patch it blacklists deamon tools. I get pissed, uninstall Sim City Societies, and reinstall it, no patch. Still more of the same. So ...did I just royally screw my FreeTime over and update the Securom that sits in my system? As now it will not open with it's no-cd either. I'm only asking to make sure that I'm not missing something totally stupid. Sure, I did not have the recommended space for Societies but The Sim2 with all expansions and stuff packs was running and now, even with Societies uninstalled, thus freeing it back up to the same amount of space as before. It will not run.
I am going to try and remove Securom once more regardless, I was just hopping to put it off longer, and I'm having trouble with RegdelNull for some reason. I can't seem to direct it to my C drive. This is a brain fog day, I'm going to go google that issue or else call my personal tech support and feel like an idiot.

Have you tried Mini image+YASU combo?

For Societies, yes. Daemon is completely blacklisted. I wasn't using Daemon for Freetime anymore, I was using a no-cd. I tried a no-cd for Societies as well, it never started, now Freetime is doing the same when previously, it was working fine.
