Err...exactly what are you trying to prove by looking at "thesims2.exe" when trying to point fingers at "The Sims 3". I'm not sure I follow tihs line of reasoning.

IT is a typo. Now it is corrected. You should look at  "thesiums3.exe"

J. M. Pescado:
While slightly less fatally flawed, the mere inclusion of the string "SecuROM" does not signify the presence of SecuROM in and of itself. However, EAxis has already admitted their present system is "designed by SecuROM". However, if it *IS* the same beast, it is almost laughably weak and ineffective, and I can't actually see it DOING anything, given that can be disabled entirely from the equivalent of BHAV code. Whether it is or isn't SecuROM, it is my expert opinion that it is Mostly Harmless.

Nightmare:
For being harmless... are there any crack on the disc version? there isnīt any on trusted sites like GCW. Or could it be that the protection is harmless and good?( I doubt it)
