The Sims Medieval
uknortherner:
I would like to see just how far EA believes it can override the legal systems in those countries that are not expressly excluded, and that's only if EULAs in general are considered legally-binding anywhere outside the US.

Damn! I'm glad this place is still around!
It's been a few years since I looked at the Sims in any shape or form, and then I ended up with a copy of TSM from a friend who didn't like it... so I thought WTH...
I looked into the DRM thing, and didn't find anyone complaining of burning DVD roms (Like what happened to my old laptop courtesy of Sims 2 via Securom) so I tried it out... and I have to say, it is a pretty entertaining game so far... I really like it ...
... BUT I am hating the lack of customization! :-\ Why would they eliminate that element from the game as entirely as they did? It's what makes the Sims games so replayable IMO...
Anyway, I was kinda hoping for a clue as to get the bonus content for nothing but, I'm not having much luck... The limits on clothing and furnishings are starting to peeve me a bit... Is the Game mechanics so much different than TS3?
I haven't played TS3 yet, because of all the headache I had from TS2... My machines are always high-end, and to lose one to a DRM was pathetic... Especially since I wasn't guilty of doing anything illegal, even by EA's twisted standards...

So I've just updated, to game version 2.0, and installed Pirates and Nobles for Medieval and none of my mods nor FPS limiter work. MTS's Medieval thread is a huge cluster fuck so couldn't really find anything there. The only mods I'm trying to use are no intro and no cd, neither of which should need updating. I've reinstalled fresh framework, tried putting it both game directories and still nothing works. When I try to use FPS limiter I get a security warning. I just wanna see if there are any CAS items or objects worth converting over. What's everyone else doing? Did I miss something? I've heard the 2.0 patch, which is needed for P & N, installs SecureRom, anyway around that yet?

I'm using a crack for the time being, and have not yet heard of a better way to avoid getting securom. It installs itself when you use the original exe, so double-clicking that in order to run the game is not an option. It appears, from a quick Google search, that there isn't any other solution at the moment., though I'd be glad to be proved wrong. The good news is, I have not experienced any borkage as a result of using a TSM patch, so it's worth trying.
Some screenshots can be found here, if anyone has doubts about the existence of securom in the TSM patch.
