Having read the Mass Effects forum, which has the same version of securom that EA says will be on Sims 3, I will not be buying Sims 3 unless they change their policy--as in, no securom. I want to be able to install it on my computer as many times as I want and to be able to back it up onto cds--to protect me from the inevitable computer crash.

Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Discussion / New version of SecuROM

Thank you, Roxy. I finally got an answer out of Tech Support--RG B said that they couldn't garantee that securom wouldn't damage my game if I tried to back it up with Nero, and that "as far as we know" it wouldn't damage my computer, Nero, or my virus protection. Way to hedge bets. I can't see playing this game, or indeed any game of the type I like (long, involved and openended) without being able to back it up to protect it from Windows "hiccups", bad game coding, hardware clashes or just plain the motherboard gives up the ghost--therefore I will try to back it up. I've been looking forward to Spore for years, and would love to try Sims 3, and would love to have the witches in Apartment Life but unless things change I have relunctantly decided not to purchase them. Thank you for the link to Sublime Sims, I will probably join tomorrow--right now I need to get off my computer before the storm cuts the power again.

Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Discussion / New version of SecuROM

I have been talking to EA customer support concerning securom--it's a bit frustrating. I had read enought about it to be afraid that I might damage my game, computer, and/or software if I tried to backup my game after installing the Free Time patch--I have installed the patch. I therefore asked tech support if I could backup my game with Nero without damaging may game, computer, and/or software--pointing out that if I couldn't do that and also backup other important things on my computer, then a large part of my computer has been taken away. They are consistently polite, but have yet to answer my question, instead telling me to back it up onto the desktop, and offering to help me with my computer problems. I have pointed out that I need to back it up onto dvds in order to keep it safe from computer crashes, and that at this time I am not having a problem--the question is, will I have problems if I use Nero to back it up? Rain answered my emails at first, the last email was answered by Chester.

Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / Is there something I don't understand about sim genetics?

Is there something I don't understand about sim genetics? I've been using Heleane's 3105 eyes as defaults by Corvidophile, plus some other non-default custom eyes. Some of the children are turning up with what looks like the original Maxis brown eyes--upsetting for me, since I particularly dislike those. Their parents don't have those eyes, in fact, in at least one family, both are cas made sims with custom eyes--yet the child has these ugly Maxis brown eyes. The father has hazel eyes and the mother a dark brown.

Thank you, been hoping someone would do this for teen boys. It's harder to find clothing for them and for boy children than any of the other ages-genders.
