Oh come on, can't you give those nice, perfect people at EA their hard earned money? I mean its not like they are charging THAT much for a couple of pieces of IKEA furniture or making use of Katy Perry to get children to play their games, I mean you paid for these expanstions before for the Sims and the Sims 2 so it should.......... NAW FUCK EA, FUCKING CHARGE 20 BUCKS FOR WHAT, 30 MORE PIECES OF FURNITURE, OR TO HAVE THE SEASONS CHANGE, I COULD CODE THAT IN A DAY, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CODE. THEY DID THE SAME THING FOR THE OTHER SIMS GAMES!

F#CK THOSE GUYS

For a while there I thought crow was brainwashed by EA.

INB4 cadaver gives a lock!

It could maybe work. But you also have to deal with the fact that the other "legit" applications can be updated, and this making it in-compatible with the "non-legit" applications.

I had thought someone from EA hacked his account -_-


hypothetically,
    The sims updater does not act upon the game files like every other game does.

Normally you get a patch say for battlefield and in that patch it will probably replace the .exe file that launches the game.

However when it comes to the sims the game updates it's files differently. When you go to install an x pak it updates the previous game regardless to accommodate the new content.

Hypothetically...this has never been an issue for someone...I know.

When you apply updates the new or /next revision/ x pak takes over as the head of the house hold. all future updates will be applied through that version of the game and the Sims launcher will execute that X-paks executable to run the game.

That is why you could...Hypothetically have  Legit | Cracked | Legit | Cracked | Cracked | Cracked | Legit and the game would still run fine, even if the last x pak you installed was Not legit.
