I have OS X installed, but I didn't install Classic. Can I install The Sims directly in OS X?

Thanks.

Nope, this has caused me a great deal of hassle and is something Aspyr really need to address. I had to install The Sims on my G4 and copy across to my wifes PowerBook, also had to do the same with Livin Large.

A real pain in the butt especially after having shelled out nearly $150 on all the games, Aspyr - SORT IT.

I will send a mail to Aspyr. I hope you do it too. They can repair it.

The only way I can see they'd do it is to create a standalone installer that can be downloaded from the net, and then use it with the installer CD in the drive... Possible, I guess, but will they?
