Sims 2 Blocked by CD Copying Software

    I heard that people that have Doom3 and Unreal Tournament 2004 installed are refusing to install Sims 2. (no matter how much their girlfriend complains)

    The Sims 3 will refuse to run if any of the following are true:
    • Suprnova is bookarked in IE
    • .NFO is associated with any text editor
    • A debugger is installed
    • An IRC client is installed
