Not true. Town Life does ask for CD.

It asks for a CD if you don't crack it, or if you don't use a no cd mod like twallan's or awesomemod. Other than that yes it asks for a CD.

Duh, I know. The OP was saying it doesn't ask for CD because EA had forgotten the security stuff.

Hmm. Well mine doesn't ask for the CD. That's why I thought perhaps EA had forgotten the SecureRom protection on this SP.

KT: Does yours also seem to be free of the ask for CD dialogue, without doing anything special to bypass it? ( ALSO, I am fully aware that I could use AwesomeMod or Twallan's No CD mod to have bypassed it without resorting to Alcohol120 and mini images, etc.. But, I have it installed already to other games which share the same problem with SecureRom, and Safedisc, and I use the program to allow me to play ALL of the games that I have trouble with without requiring separate NO-CD's for them all individually. [Which need to be updated when new patches come out, etc.] A120 handles them all in one shot, and works great. But I believe I am getting away from my original points.

My copy of Town Life Stuff, DVD version purchased from Target, does not require anything to have it launch properly, start up the game normally, and not complain about the CD. Which I have, but as mentioned due to SecureRom, my computer does not NORMALLY recognize the disc without some type of intervention. ( My Alcohol120 method, or one of the No CD Mods).

So, I thought perhaps EA released it without the copy protection for some reason - either accident or whatever. If yours still asks for the Town Life CD, then I guess not all of them were released that way, or perhaps you are using the ISO version released by reloaded or one of the Majors, or I just got lucky for a change. For what it is worth, no ISO version will typically accept the CD without a crack - I'm sure you are aware of that.

Does anyone have an answer to the Primary question of my original post? Regarding the mods that are included in the June 2011 and July 2011 Panama Crew Store Stuff Packs. I am really curious to find out about that query. I know the PC Panama guys do better with questions in spanish, but my spanish is not strong enough to ak my question in sufficient detail.

What the heck are you doing? One no-CD crack or awesomemod are sufficient for all the games.

I believe they are referring to games outside of the Sims-verse. Other games do exist you know. Unless they are referring to Sims 3 and it's expansions, if it is, it's very dense

Correct. I have Many games installed besides those of the Sims universe. (Mostly First Person Shooters and Real Time Strategy games)  I use the Alcohol120 program to launch the games that the anti piracy protection software causes trouble with.

Well yea, mounting a disc image is seen as having the disc by your computer. On a totally unrelated note, I use cracked exe's on Dragon Age 1 & 2, both by EA as well, and those patches install just fine with them in place.

Has anyone figured out how to play with both store content and custom content?? I've searched everywhere to get updates but it just made me even more confused. I haven't played for a long time so I'm really far behind on dealing with content all i know is that content i install through the launcher gets added to a dbc file in the DCCache folder. Has anyone found a way to get the game to install both custom content and store content?

Don't install user-made CC as Sims3packs, then. It's kind of a bad idea. Anything installed as a Sims3pack gets turned into a giant jumbled blob. Period.

I can't even wrap my head around this question.  How is this even a problem?  What horribly wrong method of installing cc have you been using?

Maybe the poster was still using the sims 2 app that allowed users to drag cc onto the 'lawn'.

Sure, whatever makes you feel better.
Actually, I just haven't played for a long time and just installed everything from outdoor living to generations. And EA borked the launcher, which was the only way I knew how to install things, so that store content from here doesn't install. May I ask what everyone is doing nowadays to get both non-store CC and store content? It's pretty hard to find an answer since all 56 pages of posts on this thread are made by people who know exactly what they're asking about, and expect a specific answer for their questions and I don't. Help would be appreciated please and thank you.

Use the launcher for store CC, instructions are in or around the first post. Everything else use packages, framework is in the armory. Patterns and worlds are ok as sims3packs and sims should always be .sim files, never sims3packs. Don't fuck it up.

I just need confirmation on this so I just have to ask regardless of the backlash...

Moryrie, or anyone who has her files who can answer this for me, are the only items missing from her stuff the free and sponsored content? I hate sponsored content but I want plenty of the free shit. That's fine, I can get it myself. I just want to make sure I only have to drive myself and my OCD crazy while snatching only free content.

Do an advanced search for just Moryrie's posts on this thread. She tells you what all she does and doesn't include in her package files, which is mostly everything: store, free, and sponsored unless it's borked or she thinks it's lame.

I was wondering what kind of things were lame though. I might be into lame stuff. Not sponsored that's for sure. That aside though who knows, which is why I was wondering. Guess I'll download it anyway. If it is brok-free, can't ask for anything better.

If you search through her posts, she mentions the stuff excluded as well. If there's something I want, I'll just convert it myself, otherwise I have so much love for her bundles.

You are quite correct. The search should be done on the downloads thread rather than this thread.
