NO MORE ORIGIN NEEDED TO PLAY/OPEN THE SIMS 2!

GUARANTEED NO VIRUS LIKE OTHER SAME VERSIONS. 

The fix to stop Origin from needing to be running in the background is to replace the Sims2EP9.exe with the noCD version of it. 

You need to download this one:

• You will be installing it in:
• Program Files (x86)Origin GamesFun with PetsSP9 TSBin

Move and Rename your old version first so that you don’t lose it if there’s a problem. 

Origin is a dog, and anything we can do to not need it to play a game is good.
