I posted this but 4 hours ago, its just the CD check iso

Hows that warez? Warez is the whole game, this isn't the game. I own the game and it won't work on my old CD-RW so whats the problem? I email Maxis and I get some "Well try another drive" bull**** response! Pardon me? TRY another drive? I only have ONE drive, so what the email is saying in translation is BUY another drive!

Yes dear company I just happen to be made of money, and I will happily buy a brand new CD drive to play your game that wasen't properly tested! Its nice to know that in the face of your errors instead of fixing the problem, you blaim me for it. So in retrospect I will rush RIGHT out the door and buy that brand new sparkling CD/DVD-RW combo drive.

YEAH RIGHT!

You think I'm stupid? I'm glad this worked otherwise I would have had to refund my money and gotten another game. This games great! Too bad whatever funds Maxis attains from this won't go into QA testing and older format drives. My drives OLD (It burns at 4x) and it reads every other game BUT this one. Maybe when developing these CD checks they should keep older format readers in mind huh?

Edit: I would give the updated link but the forums blanking it out

so u got a system that can run sims 2 with an old 4x burner? sounds dodgy to me.

[Praka]

I have not had a reason to update it over the years. When it breaks I will buy a new one. CD's burned at 4x just as good as ones burned at 40x

Just a whole lot slower...........

Actually Luciel I can run a copy of an old teac 4x scsi burner as well, reason is the burner is not mcc compliant.
