If I understood this thing right though- it means that you CAN remove the SecuRom but that if you want to play the games again- it installs it again- and then you have to remove it again- only to have it reinstall again and so on Huh?

I think we are going to use the old PC as our "guinea pig"... just in case. LOL

No, you did understand right - for those people having problems with it, that doesn't help much if you still want to play.

Does removing SecureROM affect your game at all?

Sure, it won't start. Unless you get yourself a No CD crack. Securom is checking if the right CD/DVD is in your drive.

Never bothered with H&M nor Vacation but have just ordered Freetime and after reading all this I'm in 2 minds whether or not to ship it straight back to Amazon unopened.
If this security feature is causing so many problems why don't all the simmers get together for an en-mass legal action for the damage caused to their computers by the software? That would force EA to change their minds about this feature.

Why? Just get yourself a no cd crack. Google can work miracles. Anyway, screw securom and have fun playing.

Already sorted a no cd crack. Its getting loaded on. I loved the look of Freetime as much as I loved the look of Seasons [and I love Seasons].
Securom must've been advertised wrong to EA cos the cracks are out quicker than they were for those who had Safedisk for security.
I tend to use no-cd cracks anyway. I've had 3 discs break and now prefer to not to use the disk in the drive.

Same here. As I said above. Most times I look up a no cd crack before actually buying.

Well said & amen!

I find simply using a no-cd crack to be far less stressful than ranting & raving about the whole SecuROM scandal. Life's just too darn short for such unneeded drama!

EA/Maxis gets my $30 & I get to play a game I completely enjoy without any added PC complications.

Everybody wins & everybody's happy.

4 anyone interested there are now 2 lawsuits against EA for SecUrom.

It is far past time we, as gamers, stand up against EA who is content with treating its loyal customers with a high level of disrespect.

That's nuts!  Are they on drugs?  I think that they will have more legal issues than they bargained for, that is, if people will actually take a stand and be willing to follow through with it.

I guess that makes me all the more thankful that I don't belong to their boards.
