I dont know what that is, but I get mine from EA download, so I dont use a cd.  I havent had any problem with it so far.

I named my first sim, in Sims1 after me.  Yeah I was testing it out, clueless.  I got rid of her quickly and made Petra Pungalunga.  Wow she had a great life!

Back in the day, when all we had was Sims, I played it religiously and faithfully.  I was excited when they released Sims2 and bought it the day it was released.  I have all exp and stuff packs and still play it a lot.  For some reason, I am not excited or ready for a new sims, I guess I will have to reserve my opinion when I actually SEE where they are going.  And a big question is, will it be Vista friendly?

Well, pets is ok, BUT  I hate that it gives pets free run of your home even if they dont live there, or have not been greeted.  Too many times those darn pets come on and dig up my flower bed and I cant stop them (

I liked BV, but I like Freetime better. Though there are some bugs to be worked out, and there is not a lot of content (which face it, we can dl custom content from one of the many many awesome designers) but there are a lot of interactions and objects for hobbies that I really enjoy.

I love that Freetime has added a lot of interactions and hobbie objects.  Ok, so its not in the league with "Seasons" but it is great. Now, when do we get a new Insiminator for the new Freetime?
