Questions about Securom!!

<< < (2/2)

SJActress:
Ryskia, I would start from scratch.  As I understand it, as long as you don't RUN the game from the CD, SuckuRom won't be installed.  You should get a noCD.exe for it, after you install everything.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about this.

Engram:
From what I understand, SecuROM gets installed as part of the installation process. Using a noCD/noDVD patch simply never activates it, but it's still there, just dormant.

MoreAwesomeThanYou has a guide about getting rid of Securom, and if I remember correctly I think it was while still running the game? I was considering re-installing all my EPs and just trying that out. Someone told me that if you download the game online you won't have to deal with Securom, but I hope that's not the only option of not having Securom on your comp since I bought all of the EPs CD-ROMs.

Nalia:
I believe you get SuckuRom even with a digital download. Not 100% sure though.

The solution to get rid of it is to have all your expansion packs installed, updated them with the respective patches and then follow the directions given at MATY to boot it out of your computer. Having done that you will need a no-CD/DVD version to run and play the game -- otherwise, every time you use your legal game copy to run the game, SuckuROM will be re-installed. You don't want that!

Getting a Free Time (if this is your latest expansion pack) no-CD/DVD copy to run the game:  http://m0001.gamecopyworld.com/games/pc_the_sims_2_freetime.shtml
Try to get a file made by Vitality. I have a working no-dvd .exe file by him/her at the moment and the game runs smoothly with no problems so far.  Just make sure to get the proper .exe no-dvd.

Thanks guys!
