can i borrow my friend's SIMS2 UNIVERSITY?


Question Posted Friday December 29 2006, 1:02 am

It's an expansion pack. If I download it to my computer, it will be just as if I bought it, right? And then I dont need the CD every time i play the game, right? Just the actual disc for Sims 2. Also, can you make your sim a young adult when your making them? Once you have the university thing.

Additional info, added Friday December 29 2006, 3:59 am:
I think I was a little unclear, but I meant that like my friend is letting me borrow her Sims 2 University pack, so I can download it and use it on my Sims 2 game, too. I was asking if this was okay, because I thought that you could only download it on one computer. Also, like when you play the game and you've downloaded the expansion pack, all you put in the disk thingie is Sims 2, and everything comes together?.

Yes, you can. The expansion will work alongside the original Sim's 2 as if it were part of the original game. If it says you HAVE to use the expansion's disc, there are sites -which I can't link to here- where you can get something called a 'No CD Crack' which will tell your computer the disc is actually in the drive, though you don't have anything in there.

People who pirate software via torrents generally always use this tactic because you have to tell the computer there is a CD in the drive so the game will install and play correctly.

Do some searching on some more "shady" sites and go to their forums and ask the question.

you can, but it's illegal to use it on more than one computer. If you can't use it without the disk, just make a copy of the disk, the game can't tell the difference. If you don't have a spare disk/burner, convert the disk into a disk image(.iso) and use Daemon Tools to run it(turn on emulation if it detects that it's an image). Search for "disk to iso" or something like that, there's tons.

I'm pretty sure that you have to insert the disk like with most CD-Roms but I could be wrong. I don't have the university game but I do have other sims games and on Bustin' Out and sims2petz you can make a young adult. good luck hope i helped

sims game are settled to work only with the cd on it and you can't burn it ...tell your friend to lend it to you for some time ..then the computer will stop asking for the disc after some time playing it
