I ran TS2 for some time using the No CD crack that utilises Daemon tools Which I now realise is wrong and if or when I get TS2 running I won't use it again I d/led quite a lot of stuff - clothes, objects etc almost all from Sims Resource and everything was fine I then didn't play for about a week as I was too busy but I did d/l a few things from TSR again When I went to play the game again all I got was the logo for a few seconds Then a MS error message The Sims 2 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
