Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Discussion / What's your take on Securom?

I play mine on two computers, on my fiances comp, I aint had problems with Securom. On mine, I dont know if it is caused by this or just the fact my computers getting too old. I try not to think about the fact it is on my computer, and just enjoy the games. I think its wrong to put something like this into a game and scare people out of wanting to buy the new expansions, but I wanted to get them, so I did. So far so good, although I probably just cursed myself now lol.

Online gameshop Play.com has listed The Sims 3 for pre-order with a release date of March 27, 2009. I must comment that this date is unofficial and it can change, but it's the first online shop that lists the game and the first solid release date compared with several game sites.
Check it here: Sims 3 pre-order.
Thanks to 'P3nf0ld3' from the SimsBBS for the find. You beat me to it =P Just been looking on there at sims and saw the Sims 3 date. They are usually quite accurate so you never know lol. |

Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Discussion / CONFIRMED=== Free Time DOES have SecuRom

I'm not going to get into the Securom Issue again. The whole thing is last Jan. Sony was ordered and agreed as part of their settlement not to put it on people's PC's without their knowledge or agreement. Yet here we are again. They have lost every lawsuit they've gone up against with Securom. They have 12 more states currently suing them. Bioware lost their lawsuit on Securom. If you want to know if you have a rootkit on your PC. You can go here and download this tiny program from Microsoft. It will let you know if you have a rootkit on your PC. It won't remove it, it will just reveal it. On the right side of the page click on download rootkit revealer. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897445.aspxWhat is a rootkit? Isn't that something that virus writers use? A rootkit is a powerful piece of software that takes over control of a computer at the most fundamental level. In computer terms, it establishes "root" access, which is similar to administrative access, instead of access for just an ordinary user. It can potentially prevent a computer user from detecting its presence or from performing certain tasks on their own PC. Computer Associates has labeled the software "spyware". Thanks for the link. Showed up Securom as I knew it would. If it hadnt been for this site, I wouldnt have known about Securom, which I think is definately bad of Maxis as we should be aware of what is on our computers. I didnt know about it even before I installed BV, so I have had it on for a while. My computer runs fine, its just awful that we arent told about it. |

There is a lot I got which isnt hobby lot. It's a community lot on the new neighbourhood. I entered a competition there, as they had the table and judge. Unless you mean for your own neighbourhood or one of the others, then yeah, you will have to go to the hobby lot once your hobby is high enough.

Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Discussion / Whoa! Talk about a Premonition!!

Eheheh... Thanks to all so much! Reading it at least would surely leave you with one big headache!
:rofl:
Few of the Maxis premades get recycled a fair bit, I agree. I've noticed a lot of the common townies such as Goopy and Marsha have a few 'Clones' here and there in EP's :lol: Thats definately true =P Guess they are leaving making the variety to us, and just recycling what they already have. If I do play the ones already in the game, they all get a makeover from me anyway hehe. |

Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Discussion / How do you feel about FREE TIME?
|

It's one of the best for me, and it was worth the money. I have played on it quite a lot and there is still lots for me to do. I aint sure what I do rate as the best, one doesnt stand out as being amazing from the others. They all rate highly in my books. I know people werent much for pets, but I do love having pets available to get. Freetime definately scores high for me  |

I am seriously considering getting it. As the months go on, we will get more and more information and closer to the release dates screenshots and more vids. I will base my decision on stuff closer to the time. I do love The Sims 2, but I was just like this when it was released. I loved The Sims 1, and then 2 was released, and I loved that just as much.
