1  Simmers' Paradise / Sims / [Sim Request] 'Alien' Dren from Splice on: June 07, 2010, 01:44:44 pm
Hello!
Next month, a movie called Spliced will be released which features a creature which is created by mixing of human DNA and animals. (Details, huh?) Anyway, I'd like to request the simming of this character (Face, basically, since the whole body concept is kinda hard to do so). So! Here are some photos (Hope they are enough) :

2  Simmers' Paradise / Sims / Miranda Lawson [ME2] Sim Request on: January 23, 2010, 05:02:09 pm
Quote
Born on Earth, Miranda comes from a wealthy background. However, underneath her opulent upbringing lies a woman who is calm, collected and driven to accomplish her mission, at any cost. She is quick to judge and values her assignments and goals over people. Miranda is also a powerful biotic as well as a tech specialist. Her unique combination of talents allows her overload enemy shields, leaving them open for a follow-up biotic attack.

Early in her life she approached Cerberus and the Illusive Man and she is now devoted to their cause. She does what needs to be done in order to achieve Cerberus' goals.

Miranda Lawson is one of the main characters in Mass Effect 2 and I am here requesting for a skilful Sim-a-fier to turn her into a Sim. I have made some attempts at it but I just can't nail it! So I ask you Simmers, could you please try as well?
Thank you for your time and I hope something successful comes out!

So I've decide to organize some info for those who haven't heard about this issue and I hope other members help as well.

You may also '' flame '' Maxis for their poor work and the lack of skill in a critical time.

   :blob6:  May the flaming begin!   :blob6:

Thanks to Maniac to provide us a bit of information on this.

What is SecuROM? ( Thanks to Celesta92059 a fighting the oppresion member of Sims 2 BBS )

SecuROM INFORMATION

If you have installed Sims 2 Deluxe, H&M Stuff Pack, or Sims 2 Bon Voyage, you have SecuROM copy protection installed on your computer. EA doesn't warn you that this potentially harmful software is being used. The SecuROM copy protection is distributed by Sony Electronics Inc., Headquarters in New York & California.

What is SecuROM

This is what MaxoidSam says it is

SecuROM is an anti-piracy program that is designed to keep people from unlawfully copying software, in theory for the purpose of re-selling illegally. It's also designed to ensure that the game you are playing is a legitimate copy of the game.

EA products (The Sims 2 included) had previously been using a program called SafeDisc for copy protection up until about April of 2007. At this point EA switched to SecuROM. So far, SecuROM has been used for The Sims 2 Deluxe Edition, H&M Stuff, and Bon Voyage. We are using Version 7 of SecuROM.

This is how beosboxboy (from a Sims 2 website we can not talk about here) defines SecuROM

SecuROM is a CD/DVD copy protection program that is intended to prevent software, music, and video piracy developed by Sony. SecuROM is is known to cause more issues than any other copy protection software, a simple Google search will provide you with all you need to know about this. Prior to Bon Voyage and (maybe) H&M Fashion Stuff, EA was using SafeDisc. Other games may have installed this, but if you have only Sims 2 games on your computer, it is likely that it was only installed when you installed Bon Voyage expansion pack or maybe H&M Fashion Stuff. Maxoid Sam did not authoratively say when EA started using SecuRom with The Sims 2 franchise.

SafeDisc CD/DVD copy protection program for Windows applications and games, developed by Macrovision Corporation; though SafeDisc protection effectively prevents regular home users from creating functional copies of CDs or DVDs, it is quite easy for skilled software crackers to bypass. The reason for EA's switch to SecuROM is pretty obvious.

SecuROM is highly controversial. It may interfere with the performance of Windows on any number of levels and is regarded by most security software firms (Symantec, CA, McAfees, etc) as "risky" or "dangerous". It has been known to interfere in the playability of games even when you have a legally purchased copy of the game. Additionally, SecuROM has not been very effective at preventing people from using illegally copied software, for example the copy protection on the game BioShock was cracked within ten days of release, the on-line activation measure that shipped with BioShock also seems to be mainly aimed at preventing lending and rental of the game. In the case of The Sims 2 Bon Voyage Expansion Pack, the cracked version was available the same day as release... go figure.

[End of Quoting]

Sony is being sued in a number of States, and there is a class action suite against them. Many of Sony's customers are sueing them in their local small claims courts. The lawsuits are regarding Sony's rootkit technology that is included in most if not all software Sony distributes.

What is a Rootkit?

Some of you have tried to find SecuROM on your system and can not find it. I promise you, if you installed Sims 2 Deluxe, H&M Stuff Pack, or Sims 2 Bon Voyage on your computer you do have it, but that's what a rootkit does, it hides itself from you making it difficult for you to find it and to prevent you from uninstalling it.

Rootkit? What? What is a rootkit? Do I have a rootkit?

Microsoft's definition and a program at Microsoft to find out if you have one:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/RootkitRevealer.mspx

Here is a picture of SecuROM's rootkit on my computer
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i306/celesta920/SecuROM.jpg
Notice where it screams "!CAUTION! NEVER DELETE" that file is a rootkit. All the other SecuROM files on your computer you can easily delete by highlighting and pressing the delete button, except that one. It screams only to scare you. Truth is if you can find a way to delete it (which is the hard part), it would be harmless. In fact it would be beneficial to you and your computer to delete it.

What does a rootkit do?

Sony or MaxoidSam have not denied SecuROM installs a rootkit on our computers (probably so they couldn't be accused of lying to us). In their statements they fail to even mention the word "rootkit". They only deny that what they install is malware or spyware.

In MaxoidSam's statement he avoids directly denying SecuROM installs a rootkit, but instead he says
"SecuROM claims is it not spyware, malware, or any other kind of 'ware that would extract personal information from your PC. You can read all about what Sony says about SecuROM at their website." [ http://tinyurl.com/2s4gwf ]

[end of quotes]

A rootkit itself is not malware, but a rootkit allows someone, either legitimate (as in the case of Sony and EA's use of it in the Sims games) or malicious (as in Internet attackers), to maintain command and control over a computer system, without the computer system user knowing about it. This means that the owner of the rootkit is capable of executing files and changing system configurations on the target machine, as well as accessing log files or monitoring activity to covertly spy on the user's computer usage.

What a rootkit does in laymen's terms:
A rootkit is a group of software tools that a hacker can exploit to obtain root (top-level) privileges to a computer. Once this top level privilege is obtained, the hacker can perform unauthorized activity on a computer and hide all traces of existence so it can continue to exploit the computer.

I myself I'll wait until Pescado, the creator of the fix for the spawning tour guides, gives a green signal for installing any patches. This may never be. Don't forget, if it ain't broken, don't fix it. As a final word : Fight the Oppresion, down with EAxis!
5  Sims 2 Community Downloads / Residential / Urban House on: July 13, 2007, 07:31:39 pm
Well I'm back into the house design, well I'm the still the average builder so don't expect great architectural buildings with loads of details and custom stuff. I'm still into the normal objects which for me are fine to build a house.

Lets go that what matters:

This is my first urban house, equiped with the latest technologies and the whole costs a small fee of 21$110 ( Correct me if I'm wrong )

This house has : 2 couple rooms ( 4 sims)
                       One room with 2 beds ( 2 sims )
                       2 living rooms ( With Tv , Piano , ect )
                       1 Bathroom
                       1 Kitchen
                       1 Dinning room

This house is good enough to hold a big family ( 6 sims ). Still you may require to add a bigger table in the dinning room because it only supports 4 sims at the time when eating ofcourse.

Custom Content - This house is tottaly free of any custom thingies
Expansions - I have all

Here are the screenshots of the house :

( No attaching because I don't want to blow up the server Tongue with crappies screenshots )

Finaly I want to make a request, that those who download it make a review of the house, its a simple thing, comment about the good stuff and bad stuff, what needs to be improved ect.

Well see you around folks!


Warning - Please do not upload any of my works into the devilish exchange or I'll have to make your life very unpleasent

All credit goes to me and for those who like me or support me.
