Thanks Tenshii~Akari, I'll try that out!

Would anyone be able to tell me if this issue is SecuRom related?  I don't remember when this started (as in, with what EP or stuff pack), but I do know that I noticed the problem first while playing the Sims 2.

It's not huge, just annoying.

Now and then, my computer starts up as if it is trying to run a disc (not sure which drive, I have both a CD and DVD drive).  It makes a lot of noise for a few minutes, then quiets down.  At first I was thinking that maybe my computer was getting overheated from playing Sims, and it was just the fan going (even though it really does sound like a disc drive).  But I try to keep my computer in a cooler area with circulation, and I don't leave it on for days and days (I know some people do that; I don't).

It mainly does this when I am playing the Sims (about every 20-30mins when the game is running).  It will continue to do it after I get out of the game.  It won't do it if I haven't played the game in a while (though once in a great great while it will do it, which is why I wasn't certain if it was related to heat and the fan).  But I am more sure that it sounds like one of my disc drives.

Other than that, I don't really have a problem burning anything (I don't have anything fancy, ACID music works okay, WMP works good).  It just irks me that when I put in a CD to burn (for a data CD), it opens up another program (that came with my computer) as a default program now to burn, which it never did before.

I have yet to install FT and AL (Just got them semi-free from trading stuff in at GameStop).  I wanted to do some research on SecuRom first.  Are these problems random, or do you have to have certain system specs to encounter them?

Also, is anyone aware if ACID music, Sonar, or Reason (all music programs) are affected any way by the addition or removal of SecuRom?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks to the both of you!  This is a much needed mod for the EP =).

Nice prints!  Are some of the end tables from FFS (The atomic set)?

Thank you so much!  I can't even begin to tell you how helpful this is!

Great hack, thank you!

Perfect!  Thank you!

This is great!  Is this for all lights or just hanging lamps?  I have a problem with the fact that the garden lamps have to hang from the ceiling that is....well.  Not there because of the roof.

Thanks for another great download!

Thanks for this!  It's nice to know that my sims and pets wont have to freak out about the kitty litter smell every chance they get now =)

Thanks for putting this all together!  Can we expect this for the other genres of body-builders as well?

This is awesome!  Thanks!

Thanks for the ban option!!  This was much needed =)

I have gotten kids at my shop.  It was hilarious.

Both of them said that it was getting late and they had to leave though.  In one case, it was definitely mid-day.  But they did get a chance to hang out a bit.

The mod is great!

Great!  Thanks for another great mod! =)

*EDIT*  I found my answer ! (It was the difference between the Mods available at MTS2 and here, you see ^_^ )
