Hmmm... I had one crash when I was watching TV. I thought it might have just been my graphics driver going mental.

Does anyone know where I can download the music from the game intro? I was hoping that the MP3 included in the free USB Key would be it, but it isn't. Thanks in advance.
Great game by the way.

One you've prepared it, you can drag it into your inventory (the backpack tab). I wouldn't leave it in there too long, though.

FFS

I did not realise you can move stuff from the world to your inventory.

Ugh thanks, ive cancelled like 10/15 challenges cos i couldn't understand it.

Did you guys leave how long your sims age or switch aging off? I hated ageing in the Second one but havent switched it off yet, incase it makes the game boring.

I put it to the longest-aging setting. I like to do things in my own time.

Picked up the collectors edition today from GAME and installing now. I'm actually quite excited.

Yes. Although I'm sure there'll be a No-CD crack somewhere. There was for the leaked version, anyway.

Could i use some sort of software to copy the disk to a virtual disk drive?

That won't work. It can tell when you're using a virtual drive.

OK, cheers.

Is a no-cd crack just like a patch o would install to the game?

All it is, is a replacement executable file. You put it in the game's Bin directory in place of the normal executable.

Got this today. Feeling generally overwhelmed with everything. This isn't a game for indecisive people.

Ooo.. look! A free town!

It's an excellent game, it really is, but quality control seems to have gone down the shitter. This wouldn't have happened under Will Wright's watch, believe me.

I would buy this but my DVD simply refuses to play any dual format discs. It's fine with a normal PC DVD but anything that is PC & Mac just won't work. :cry:

But I'm not so desperate to play it that I'd go out and buy a new dvd drive. My PC is about 6 years old now anyway, so could really do with a complete overhaul.

If you download the EA Download Manager and activate it on there you may be able to play it without the CD. Works with Red Alert 3.

I don't think its quality control problems as ive played a good 12 hours now and not a single crash.

My Sim was electrocuted to death.

I wasn't expecting that to happen. :shock:

Also is it wrong that I find my Sim attractive?
