Then there's the changing pattern of hardware. An ever-declining piece of hardware in portable computers (notebooks, ultrabooks, etc.) is the optical (CD/DVD) drive. Moving parts mean extra weight and battery drain, so it makes sense. However, it means that to install a game from disc, you'll need an external optical reader. You don't want to carry this around with you either, which means a no-CD crack is required for on-the-go gaming.
Sims 2 Expansion No Cd Crack
It usually involves first installing the game, them looking for a registry entry, DLL (domain-link library), executable crack file, or a replacement EXE for the original game, or a combination of any of these. The new files are then added to the game directory on the hard disk drive (if any are duplicating existing files, these should be backed up) in order to make the game run without the disc.
Once upon a time, finding No-CD cracks was a dangerous pastime. Online resources were full of NSFW ads, popups and malware risks. Fortunately, things have been tidied up somewhat as trends have developed. While there is scant use for no-CD cracks on modern games, some sites still offer them for older games.
Patches, fixes, trainers (offering unlimited health/ammo/etc) and No-CD/No-DVD cracks are available here, although the focus has shifted in recent years to trainers. A useful search tool on the right, however, will let you browse the site for older games available on optical disc, and any associated No-CD patches and EXEs.
What do you think? Is this a good development, or does it strip games of their cultural importance when physical art cannot be admired as part of the experience? Do you use No-CD cracks, or have you abandoned them for Steam and other solutions? Tell us in the comments.
I am using a mac and I am reinstalling all of my sims 3 content including the base game through Origin. The base game and some expansions downloaded okay. But when I try to download "Seasons" and "Supernatural", both give me "no_cd_key" where the product code should be.
I didn't have discs, I purchase the expansion packs online. The game was previously installed on a different computer but that was a PC running Windows. The Terminal command works on Macs. Is there a similar command that works on PC's running Windows?
Note: If your laptop does not have a CD-rom drive (most new systems with Windows 10 do not!), you can purchase an external CD-rom drive. They are very affordable, and in my opinion, this is safer than using a CD crack or questionable download to run your game.
This error message was preventing me from installing these expansions at all. You can learn more about why you may be receiving a message like this by watching this YouTube video. But for the SparkNotes version, it has to do with Windows 10 trying a little too hard to protect your computer from malicious software (which is what your computer thinks your old-as-hell Sims 2 expansion packs are) with its built-in Windows Defender program.
Cracking: The crack button is only available if you have a crack inside the Sims2_DVD\Cracks\game code\TSBin folder. The menu will look in the windows registry where the game is installed and copy the crack automatically. The installer will create a backup of the file it replaces with the extension .bak
hey guys, i had recently purchsed the sims 2 CD and ive been trying to install it but everytime i try theres and error with the files being moved so it never actually completes it!!helppp meeeee
Hi, Cindy!Thanks for all your work on The Sims, thanks to you my game runs perfectly and looks great on Desktop Computer.But I have this problem on my laptop. Wherever I install The Sims 2 Base Game, it works fine. But when I try to install expansion packs, it tells me, that the base game isnt installed even though it is. Due to this I cant even uninstall the game because it basically doesnt exist. I write this here because I thought the 4patch could help, but it just doesnt find the game. Would you know what to do?Thank you!
