I decided I am going to install Mansions and Gardens this weekend. That in itself is not a huge deal. The huge deal is that when I installed my game the last time I used Clean/Empty templates and made sure that my install was SecuROM free. I launch my game with a No CD crack. I do remember reading somewhere that if you install something new, either the templates or something needs to be put back from the original install. Maybe it was the NBs. I know for sure I need to remove the crack until the install is complete.
Suffice it to say I cannot find the files. OK I have the original executable files that the crack replaces. I can't find the original NB files. I swear I saw them recently. I really did.
I have all the steps necessary were I to completely install from scratch or I can take my chances on hosing my existing install and having to re-install from scratch anyway. What to do...what to do...
I could search forums to see if there are tips or advice out there. However the time it takes to search and read 452 pages worth of posts and scan and kill my shoulders might be best spent just biting the bullet and doing it right?
I hope you x-posted this to LJ. I have no idea how to do what you're trying to do!
ReplyDeleteIt is now...
ReplyDeleteGood luck Gayl.. hopefully you wont lost all your neighborhoods...
ReplyDeleteI wanted to do the secuROM free too, with no CD... and my hubby told me that if I wanted to add anymore expansions it wouldn't let me... and it will be messy if I wanted to install anything else... so I didn't do it... I'm so afraid of messing/deleting my files...
hopefully everything will go fine with your installation! make tons and tons of back ups!
Thanks S@ndy. I know that I have to take the No CD crack out to install something but I think I was supposed to put the NB folders back in...something. It's been 2 years. I can't recall what to do which is why I'll end up reinstalling I'm sure. I won't lose my NBs since I back them all up. Downloads too.
