? re hacked Grandfather Clock for Uni
Sivany:
I've had Securom on my computer since BV came out and since removing it was too much like hard work I've left it there and I've not had any problems related to that at all so far. I think the main problems were with it breaking the DVD burner and interfering with DVD/CD burning software. Since I have none of those things I haven't noticed any effects so far and, since I need a new computer anyway, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed rather than messing about with deleting Securom, which would very likely lead to me breaking my computer anyway.
After reading this thread though I'm beginning to think it was a really bad idea to have all expansion packs up to and including FT and then randomly decide to buy and install the H&M stuff pack. Since doing that my sims can't skill parenting, the metre just stays stuck at wherever it was before I installed H&M.

She does not keep any personal files, nor does she do any internet banking or bill paying on her computer (yes, she is a little bit old-fashioned in that sense -- but that may be a good thing since she has SecuRom!) so as long as it has not caused any damage, can I assume that installing BV probably won't either?
As Sivany said, the main problem of Securom lies in damaging optical devices. So it's a potential threat to anyone who owns an optical device like a CD/DVD burner, even for the people who are not doing any kind of monetary transaction online. Securom can break anti-virus or firewall too, as reported by many people. Also, newer games are shipped with "upgraded" version of Securom, which can be more destructive and harmful. Securom had not always been this dangerous, after all. Older versions of Securom were quite benign compared to current crap. The fact that H&M caused no visible damage does not automatically guarantee that BV Securom will be safe. Better to tell her to remove the crap altogether, following the stickied guide.
