I am using Windows Vista SP1 and Sims 2 (4CD) game. I am installing the backup copy of the game as my original is broken. It is a full backup and installs well, however, when trying to run it, I get messages such as "insert disc 1 into disc drive" and when looking for a solution, you need to download an updater which I did, I inserted disc 4 as requested, but still no luck, it keeps asking for disc 4 but nothing keeps happening. I heard there are patches and cracks but I don't know where to look and which ones to use, can anybody help?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

gamecopyworld used to be a good place to look for such things......... usually a nocd "patch" is required.

Copies often don't have the CD check files/system. So although the game will install, it will never play.

Perhaps EA/Maxis have a patch you can download, if they have a website for the game. Or a forum where you can ask about it.
(BTW, is the game being discontinued, or something? I want to get it (Double Deluxe, at least) just for fun, but Wal-Mart's suddenly marked all the Sims 2 titles down by half, or more, and it's almost impossible to find, there. So, I'm just curious.)If cameras add ten pounds, why would people want to eat them? -
Those were the first things I tried, it didn't work because I am using a backup copy of the game instead of the original.
As for the game, I don't think its discontinued, its one of the most popular PC games ever.
