What's your take on Securom?
SnowWolff:
Hi all~well after reading all the blogs i thought i'd throw my 2 cents in lol~ i have all the EP's except apartment life & i dont have ikea but i have 3 SP's~the only probs ive had is after i dwnload my 1st game(deluxe) i have to manually install all my other games. Ive had no issues with my Sims2(knock on wood) but that also could be due to the killer security proggy i use~if there's anything nasty on my puter it alerts me and gets rid of it asap.Im keepin my fingers crossed that after i buy apartment life i continus error free.
Happy Simming & Insimenator Rocks for all the cool stuff for our games.

After I read the horror stories about suckurom, I literally quit buying the games after buying Pets, which I no longer have installed on my computer since CAS crashes. Let me give you a hint to the order of which I obtained my EPs: Nightlife, Uni, Pets,
Glamour Life/Happy Holiday, Seasons, BV.
And to date, I have no problems with the game.

While I've had absolutely no issues with SecuROM, I'm still very concerned.
The company "Stardock' has a 'Gamer Bill of Rights' which I would totally support. It includes things like the right to know when software is being installed on your system, the right to know what that software does, etc.
The privacy issues that SecuROM breeches make me angry with EA. No program - that I was NOT informed was installing - should be able to affect other programs on MY personal computer.
That said, the idea of boycotting EA is a little more than I can take. I have every single thing released for TS2 except for IKEA stuff.

Guys, the versions of SecuROM vary from EP to EP. They have gone to a harsher version with AL and I invite you to check out what people are saying over at the PRISM and Reclaim Your Game. This site hosts a button for RYG on the front page. It's not all in the imaginations of the people affected, trust me. I was one of them and I went through hell.

Update from me on SecuROM (aptly sub-titled suckurom by someone): My game crashes regularly & if I didn't value BV so much, I'd give it away with its Prima Guide & reload the game to Seasons as the last update that is worthy. I find these 2 files each time before I start up (Accessory.cache & Groups.cache) & delete them. The game will regenerate these files without the screwups in them-- there may be other screwups but this lightens the load. It takes longer to start the program but I get fewer lockups & crashes. I have no intention of buying anymore Sims2 add-ons & I certainly would not buy Sims3 & let those wild buccaneers from EA into my computer further. Soon there will be other 3D games that don't involve recharging electronic killer blasters or driving at amazing speeds. I don't trust the guys at EA not to write programs directly into my computer from their computers. EA computer, writing directly to Roger's computer in Ring0: EA puter--"You will do exactly what I say." Roger's puter-- "Yes master." Unhappy simming, Roger9.
