'Securom isn't bad' according to Maxis
alkaloid:
I just thought I'd add that I got SeruRom from the H&M stuff pack. Just sayin'.
ETA: I have everything *but* BV installed, and I've had success removing Securom using UnHookExec.inf from symantec, and using the "full game" option with the Base Game Starter. (Although it may just be that I haven't had a reinfection because the required launch disk is Seasons, not H&M.)
I still have a LOT of collateral damage, though. This came to my attention when I caught a virus and I noticed some major bugs that turned out to be designed to prevent detection and removal. I've had to switch from Norton to another antivirus, and many of my peripherals (including my back up hard drive), are still partially disabled. At this point, I'm probably going to have to do a full backup/reinstall and just live without H&M.
Does anyone know if any of the talented hackers around here are working on a patch that will let the affected games run after SecuRom has been removed?

you could check MATY theres a topic on this
More Awesome Than You! - The Podium - *****
i dont think its allowed here or i'd post the link :)
tho since you only have HM Fashion installed i wouldnt thought SecuRom would be installed as you used the Seasons cd to run the game
The "official" EAxis explanation/admission/excuse could hopefully offer some insight to SecuRom & HM Fashion
dreamcatchermwh:
Why all the chatter about this secuROM everybody is talking like it something new .This is not new it has been added since Pets came out .It hasn't made any difference on my computer.I don't plan on copying or burning any of my EA games so makes no difference to me.There are many programs available to defeat securom for the purpose of archiving your own disk.

:shock: I thought they started using it with H&M? Wasn't Safedisc used for Pets (and of course all the lower EPs/SPs)? Now I'm a bit more confused on that matter... :scratch:
BeosBoxBoy:
SafeDisc copyright protection software was used until Bon Voyage (possibly also Celebrations Stuff) so saith the Maxoids. I would have been passing blood in my stools if it were part of Seasons.
