I bought the original CD when it came out, nothing pirated.
I have a new hp gaming computer with SSD and Nvidia card, but I do have the external drive and on the Daytona Road Course on a single race there was a shuttering during practice for the race, I didn't go the whole practice or the race. The shuttering on the screen if you can imagine it if it has or hasn't happened to you got me thinking of this: Is there a way I can copy my own CD onto my computer so I don't have to use the external drive? I see that people download the CD and use it that way without the physical CD. Everything is working great otherwise, I don't want to make a good situation worse but if I don't have to use the external drive that would be great, I'm not worried about space on the SSD or is the CD for saving memory?
I'll stop there, hopefully not to confusing, I'm real good with the computer not a newbie. Haven't tried anything yet.
Thanks for any help!

I haven't put my cd in my pc in over 15 years, no cd patch is your friend.

What mod are you using?

What track are you using?

Even on todays hyper fast pc's this sim still has issues one of them being very old.

I still click off solar effects and I can run the newer sims in ultra settings.

I'll get that, I didn't want to do the uninstall which I won't do. I would just add it, I have plenty of space. I feel as though I know the answer because it's a patch so l am believing I would not have to uninstall just install the patch, would I be correct? Thank you for replying.

All the no cd patch does is over write the part of the exe that looks for the disk, other then that , it's exactly the same exe.
