Hello,
Thank you for the response. Also, thank you for the game.
I apologize for including my phone and email, but it has become such a habit when emailing people at work that I sometimes do it without thinking about it. If you removed them from my post, thank you for that as well.
I have Roxio installed on my pc, so the .iso file automatically associated with the program. I then burned the .iso to a DVD, as a CD would not have enough space. When I re-inserted the disc, the install menu popped up immediately and I was able to go through the installation using the provided serial number.
It was later that I realized what the "nocd" crack was and found out that I could simply replace the original .exe with the "nocd" crack version and the game works perfectly, so far as I have seen.
It does take a bit to load, including the loading of the different expansion packs. Is slow loading a common issue for all users of this game?
I have never used Alcohol 120%, and have only heard of the program in the last 24 hours. Does this program allow you to burn the program as four CDs like the original, or just provide the capability to create a "virtual DVD" which allows you to play the game with no disc?
I hope I haven't taken too much of your time, but I appreciate all your help, and am very happy to once again have this game. I haven't had a version of this since the original Sims 1.0. Thank you very much!
