Sadie, in your research, did you find out that you're better off uninstalling the game, then reinstalling it without the patch?

One thing I'm not sure of is whether this new crack applies to the pulled patch or the new one, so to be on the safe side I'd say yes, get rid of the patch if it's the newest one. If it's the one that got pulled you're safe to keep it in, so long as you follow the advice about replacing skins.package that's somewhere on this site.

Oh really? Hmm.
*thinks back to last nightmare of reinstalling*
Nope, I'll stay as I am thanks :tongue3: If you've already installed it, maybe you can try the crack after getting rid of that rootkit, let us know if it works. Me, I'm taking no more chances with this system, it's given me enough grief already thanks to that.

I hate to say this, but I only own up to Pe(s)ts. I've installed and uninstalled Pets, two different times already. I'm buying a GIG more memory tomorrow, so hopefully that'll make it work.
After reading all the stuff about SecuRom, I decided against buying any other EP's. But, I'm toying with the idea of buying, Season's. Maybe I'm just better letting well enough alone.

I'm not saying this to be a sour-puss or anything... but if you do decide to get it, I'd suggest you buy it off of e-Bay or Amazon... or one of those other places like it. That way (just to be safe) you know you're definitely not getting an infested copy, if they've decided to go back and put it on the EP without us knowing. I'm not sure if the Seasons discs they have on shelves now are clean or not, but you never can be too sure. EA's track record is way too soiled to trust. :lol:

I don't think you're trying to be sour-puss. If anything, you're being helpful.
Thank you. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
You know, I never once thought of that. Thank you for the suggestion. I've tried to get University and Nightlife off of e-bay and lost my bid both times. So, off to Target I went.
P. S. This post was cut and pasted like mad. For some odd reason my brain went to the dead zone.

I'm not so sure they can't "update" the older EP's to have this newer version of SecuRom on them. It's possible that they could do it, and then anything that's re-issued would have it.
In fact, I'd almost bet (given the paranoia that EA is famous for) that they're probably either considering or have started to do it.
It depends on how much they think they can get away with.

You're just trying to protect the masses.
If I decide not to buy Seasons, I was looking at one of the Stuff Packs. I can't figure out which one has the most to offer. Kitchen and Bath is out of the question. H & M is out of the question also. So, where does that leave me?

LOL.......I'm just tossing ideas back and forth in my head.
But, I'm keeping my eyes on e-bay looking at stuff.
Bless you, Tenshii.

If anyone is interested, I live in the UK, and have recently had to buy a replacement base game. This has come with SecuROM attatched. Also, after looking at my other disks, Sony has had their hand in Seasons and Happy Holiday Stuff 2006 too.
To find out if Sony is involved, turn the disk over to the shiny side, on the inner ring and in the right light, you will see "Sony DADC" imprinted, along with other random stuff.

:shock: Wow... gut instinct really does wonders! I knew EA wouldn't let us down after all of this happening! :cheers:
[/sarcasm]
Thanks for the info, t2suggas. It's truly sucky that they'd go back and do all of that. :?

Well, no Seasons or Stuff packs for me.
I'll just be happy with Pe(s)ts. Once the memory gets here.
Tenshii, thank you for your instinct. t2suggs, thank you for the info.
