This requirement is obviously the most current version. This means that the game is patched up to date and expanded to include a launcher. This makes every game start attentive to the numerous addons and annoying a little with the, game start repeating each time, memory is not the game is "completely".
The "normal" .exe file that starts the game immediately, but is in the bin folder in addition.
after installation, in addition to linking the main game, even a promotional link for the successor "Sims 3" is created.
To work all not so bad, as easily (or undo). but annoys me these intrusive "Electronic Arts" marketing machine slow a little.
the NEW (V1.5) boot file to recently not only on virtual disks complained directly but recently also been on the small tarnprogramme for such drives (eg. YASU) I was also very annoyed. This allows the game if now these programs do not run only start (with pickled original CD mind you) in the background.
at the "Picture-Interactive" -auflage nothing of the above is the case. the lies even mount (no doubt in children makes sense, so you spare me all the homilies)
so it has "ea" but finally made after 5 years the price reasonably realistic (hardly a 5 year old game today costs more than 10 or has the software pyramid skipped) at the current market to adapt, but it could not help the honest Money Back again to spoon-feed with advertising and copy protection.
Conclusion: Game is running (if the restrictions on the choice of his little background programs accepted) properly and is always fun.
only This latest edition of the game I'm very on the cookie.
PS: Yes, I have "Electronic Arts" eaten and avoid, whenever possible, software from this house to buy.
