Help! I Can't Build in Buy Mode

Hello please help. i have the sims 2 installed in my pc.. i can select objects from buy mode but cannot select anything from build mode...

I think they're going to have to make a sticky on this subject. Keeps coming up a lot.

Make sure you're not using a no-CD hack. If you are, that's the problem. If not, then let the more technically or game experienced here help you. I have not played yet, only going by what I've read and searched up on here.

Good luck.

 

Holy crap. I must be about the luckiest person ever. Everyone is having these crazy problems, but my game has had no flaws and no glitches so far that I could see. Its crazy I tell you! CRAZY!

 

I have the game cd i copied the crack file on the sims...
should i load the game from cd autoplay... i do have the cd inserted but i always run from the start menu should i run from the autoplay ... or from where?
