Is it possible to save The Sims 3 to iDisk with Mobile Me, and then be able to play it on other Macintosh computers? Or would I still have to install it on each computer?

thanks!

That's actually a very good idea. I don't see why it wouldn't work. Just have iDisk syncing on your desktop and you should be fine. I might just try that out too.

Hmm... pardon my ignorance, but wouldn't that make gameplay pretty slow, loading stuff constantly on your "online" disk?

Since the Sims 3 is constantly loading data, it would be really slow. And the game requires you to have the CD in the drive in order to play. There are no-CD patches, though.

This does not seem like a viable option. As someone previously stated, the disk is required to run the game. Even if you were to crack the game, it would be nearly impossible to get it to truly run..you might be able to load it, but playing would be another thing..

you can download it straight from gametreeonline.com, legally, with no disk. I see what you mean though about having to have it constantly load on idisk.
