Need NOCD Patch for Sims Deluxe

Hi all!
I have already do a backup copy of this game(I used clonecd), the installation goes well but when i try to start it it causes an error and it closes.
I heard that there are some files that a burning program don't copy, so the games needs a nocd patch to work well.
I've already search in this site and their links for that patch but i didn't find it,if anyone have it can please send it to me or in this forum or instead tell me where to retrieve this file.
Thanks

Marcello

There is NO nocd available for Sims Deluxe. Either install any other expansion pack like Hot Date, House Party, Vacation, Unleashed on top of Deluxe ... and use the nocd for that expansion pack, or use Daemon Tools to emulate the cd.

Actually, I'm curious... I tried to install vacation over deluxe and then used the no-cd for it, but it didn't work. I believe it still uses the deluxe edition exe for the game. I seem to recall reading somewhere that with deluxe edition, the only expansion that will work with a no-cd is unleashed, but you have to install unleashed after deluxe.

I would be very pleased to find out that this is not true as I do not have Unleashed... only deluxe and vacation.
