    the problem is the no cd fix, it just doesn't work right,i had the emulation detected and found that it was my old version of clone cd that was being detected,try updating your version of alcohol 120 or try the latest version of deamon tools and if you have clone try to update that, you might also find a lot of usefull sims 2 info in this thread http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/109246

    Okay then. So, bottom line is, the No CD crack is what is preventing it from using the Build feature?? So what if we installed the game without the no cd crack..would it work?

    praz i burnt cd1 using alcohol 120 using the safedisc 2/3 template and the other 3 using the normal cd template, i installed the game using the burnt discs and to load the game i use the image file i created of cd1 and mount it in alcohol's virtual drive, the game loads fine and all in game functions are avalible

    cloud666 yes the bottom line is the no cd is causing the problem with build mode

    Thanks a lot man! One more question though..would it work, if I just replaced the 'nocd cracked sims2.exe' file with the normal one, since the sims2.exe file is the only thing the no cd crack touched?? And just played it the normal way, through the cd?? If so, would somebody be willing to send me their normal sims2.exe file??? Yes I know I'm a dumbass for not making a backup... noemailsallowed@afterdawn.com is my e-mail, I'd really appreciate it!

    Also, is Safedisc the same as Securom?? How do you burn it using the Safedisc 2/3 template?

    Nope. They're two entirely different protection schemes that need to be burned using different methods and settings :)

    praz have you got any other emulation software on your system eg. clone drive, daemon tools, virtual drive from a burning software etc, are they the latest versions, as it could be one of those that's being detected

    regarding this situation..the problem is the fixed exe
    if you have a dvd copy of the game,use the same no cd
    crack you would the cd verison of the game be cafeful
    with most of these cracks......

    yea i have daemon tools and alcohol 120 but i used the virtual drive for alcohol to mount the cd1 image and the deamon tools image is not even enabled
    so i shud get the latest version of dameon tools so it doesnt get detected by it or is it detecting the alcohol 120 virtual drive used to mount the image
