Sims Medieval Fix not recognized? Please Help!

Hi there.
I joined because it seems like you have some pretty useful information, and well I could sure use that right now.

I installed TSM. I put the crack on it. I had seen people talk about issues, but I just crossed my fingers and hoped I would be lucky enough not to have any. Not the case. I get the unending freeze on the CAS loading screen. SO I came here, and read a thread that said the ultimate fix was not working for those people but the temp was. Great! So I get that and extract it, and totally understand mounting it behind the game...

My issue is that my daemon tools is not recognizing the .mdx file. Just for kicks, I tried changing the path to an ISO, but of course it didn't really work. I tried to go through windows opening the program, choosing which program to open it with, and choosing DT, but then it gave me an "Error in Command Line" message. I deleted the one I messed up and extracted from the RAR again, but it just gave me the same error message.
I feel like I am so close! I have really wanted to play this game for a while, so if you have any help for me that would be great.
Thank you so much!

Well the thing is, I borrowed the disc from a friend for one night, and downloading is blocked where I live...
my main question was how to get the .mdx to mount because my dt is not recognizing it is a mountable file.

Are you saying that installing the expansion will solve my issues with the update? Because I can try but it will take me a while to get it. If someone could tell me what I am doing wrong and why it won't mount, I can try that too.
thanks

Hello,

In Daemon Tools Lite choose "Add new SCSI Virtual Drive" and use that one instead of the "DT Virtual Drive". See if it makes a difference.

I followed your instructions and downloaded the ultimate fix, but I haven't done anything with it yet. It says I need to have Pirates installed, but I don't, and don't have a way to get it right now.

Can I still place the crack there without the expansion??
