Teen Style Stuff and SecuROM
MutantBunny:
Please clarify:
This pack WILL install even though Securom is not on my PC (that shit is gone, it's staying gone.) If I stick the nocd.exe in before I start the game Securom will stay gone? Or does it install Securom and I must clean the shit off again?
I'm assuming there is a nocd.exe at say gameburnworld.....?

Install under your admin account. If you install under an account without admin privileges Securom installs some files on install of the game in order to give SecuRom admin privileges on an account that doesn't have them. Install on an admin account and it doesn't install any files until you run from it's exe. This is a mini-pack, they don't play from their own exe, they play from your expansions exe, that's why this Securom issue didn't spring up after H&M, it only showed up once an expansion with securom came out, you play from the expansion EXE every time.
Do you have Seasons or BV? I'm playing with TSS with BV, I've already removed securom, I'm using a no-cd crack to play. I'm running from the BV no-cd not from one made for TSS. I'm assuming that if you only had seasons you would run from that exe for this minipack and it won't matter about securom anyway because the seasons exe doesn't contain it.

Thanks, morriganrant.
Yes, I play with the BV nocd.exe. I also, just because my bout with Securom was so bad, if I do put TSS on my PC, I will need a TSS nocd.exe! Otherwise I'll sit and worry about it! Took me several months to be able to play while connected to the internet nocd.exe in. :) So, silly and unneccessary tho it may be, overkill is better. No TSS nocd.exe? No TSS for me. lol.....

I don't think one exists. Anyway, thats just silly. Teen doesn't run from it's exe. It runs from BV or Seasons. If you have all expansions through to BV you do not need a no-cd for NL or Seasons or any other. You run from BV, you need one for BV. You still have all the options and items that each pack adds but you are running from BV exe. Thats how the mini pack works as well. It doesn't run from it's exe, it is treated as if it is a past expansion and just sits in your core files for the game to read.
Just don't install on an account without admin privileges and you are fine. It's the exe running that runs Securom 7 (or the one that installs without admin privileges) Thats why a no-cd is safe, it's not running from the exe that contains securom7. H&M didn't trow up the securom issue because it didn't run from it's exe it ran from seasons, just like what this one will do if you don't have BV.

TSS NoCD DOES exist. (Reloaded release) You can get it from GameCopyWorld.
Of course, if you have any EP newer than Pets, you won't need TSS NoCD, as morriganrant already explained.
