Socializing with friends is as easy as calling people from other neighborhoods and inviting them over. Buy a cheap second hand copy.Not only is traveling from one area to another more smooth, communication has also been made easier. TL DR - It's a laborious process installing the torrents, and they don't run properly anyway. Its identical to the European/US versions although you can't register it with EA. A friend of mine got a dirt cheap Indian version. As long as your not too bothered about registering with Origin or EA, I would suggest a second hand copy. However, You can get the store content on TPB every month, and that installs fine into a legit or pirated copy.
I even tried using torrent expansions with the legit game, but that buggered up the whole thing.
In the end, I managed to pick up the commemorative edition of SIMS on Amazon for £20 brand new, and treat myself to an expansion pack when I get paid, as these are eye wateringly expensive. As for the expansion packs, It's such a lengthy time consuming process, that I gave up. I did manage to install the base game, but I also found it deleted my SIMS and my houses when I spent ages building them. you'll need a program like alcohol or magiciso to mount the cd image on a virtual drive. It's a lot less hassle.Īs far as downloading the torrent, you download it like any other. exe back (because the installer will look for it because it needs to replace the file typically to install the update).
This is better because next time you want to update it with a patch or a new expansion pack oyu don't need to put the old. With the sims I recommend installing the torrented files normally but not installing the cracked. exe with a cracked version, often it's just a programming change that disables the normal drm like requiring you to have a cd in it. After that typically you have to replace the main program file. It'll promt you for a key, you use the key gen included in the torrent to activate a key. Well typically what you are downloading is just an image file of the original disk, you install it normally.
