1118748	2010-07-15 03:30:00	According to GameCopyWorld, the Sims 2 uses Safedisc 3, which can be copied with Alcohol 120% (www.cdmediaworld.com) If you want a copy of the DVD, use Alcohol 120% on a slow speed to prevent the disk from shattering. You can get a 30-day trial for free which would be fine. Alcohol 120% has an inbuilt utility to find out what protection a disc has. Check with this to make sure, then copy the disk using the correct datatype. This *should* result in a working backup copy, however if for some reason it won't run with the backup, you will still at least be able to install from the backup, and then use a NoCD to run the game as PCTek said Personally though, I prefer for backup copies to work just like originals.
