Help the new guy.

Do you mean you have you downloaded the crack from here:

http://dl.gamecopyworld.com/?d=2006&f=rld-s2pe!rar

but when you try to unrar it into the game directory the 'Sims2EP4.exe' is write protected and you cannot copy over the crack?

If so, right click on the 'Sims2EP4.exe' in your game directory and click the 'Properties' button, then find and untick the box that says 'Read-only' and then click the 'Apply' button and then 'OK' to remove that attribute. You should then be able to copy over the crack.

I tried to adjust the properties, but the read-only tick just resets itself, preventing the overwrite. I am buggered if I know how to do it. I believe that it is something in the code which is trying to make it impossible to patch, but don't have the expertise to adjust it. has anyone else hit this snag?
