That's strange, because Alcohol 120% and Daemon Tools which are FAR more evil programs seem to not affect my game at all.?::)
My roomie had the same problem when he first got the game (he had Nero, Clone CD, Alcohol, etc.). He ended up getting a no CD crack to work around it because there was no way he was taking anything off with all the CD burning he does. I think it has something to do with the SafeDisc protection which specifically bans Nero, Clone CD and Roxio, which is ridiculous considering that anyone who buys a computer these days with a burner purchases one of these programs in order to use it. I think Dell uses Roxio exclusively, which (I don't know this for sure as I haven't purchased a Dell) I think you purchase as part of your software bundle. I had something similar when I got a Gateway way back when.
I can understand their (EA's) need to prohibit copyright infringement, but I don't see where that gives them the right to dictate to the paying customer what programs he/she can keep on his/her own computer. I mean, customer support advises you to back up your game frequently, but how do you do that after they make you uninstall your CD burning software? ??? 쟅 just think that EA/Maxis is out of line demanding that their customers not use programs they dislike while at the same time not bothering to give them a working game.
I may get myself illegal copies from now on just to spite them. ?:(
All my three Dell's (at least they do not explode into a LFBVFS like my Compaq did.) came with Roxio but I deleted it on the computer with Sims 2 - before I had a chance to install it. Plus, from my past usage Roxio does not come with a lot of capability in terms of CD cloning, and quite a lot of games that I made backup copies did not work at all, that being the cause of why I deleted it...
As I always state to my friends who burn/download their programs as many modern young adults do: Illegal activity is ALWAYS exciting.
Do it, Doooo it! *Insidious voice* Anyway, you are discouraging capitalism and realizing the good old days of Soviet Russia, where game bought YOU! ;)

I've got it preordered already, consider me a geek as well.

1 - by mistake...:)
I pre-orderred it already a few months ago, not knowing that Uni will not have a patch. I am not going to touch "the monster", before I get JMP approval, and/or read other players' experiences.

I had Nero installed on my other computer and never got the "you're evil" message, thank God. I burn a lot of cds and would not want to have to uninstall that. I also have Nero for my laptop. It's actually not installed, yet, but since the laptop has a cd/dvd burner, it came with a nero disk. I'm not installing that until after purchasing Nightlife, I've now decided.
I answered 1. I admit I will make a mad dash to Game Stop the day it is released. I will then install it, and my romance sims will once again be slapped all over the place for giving backrubs, the maid will be obsessed with coffee cups, kicky bags will get invisibly stuck in front of refrigerators, the phone will ring non-stop, and strangers will obsessively take turns asking each other and to dance and getting rejected. But, yes, I'll still be the first in line.

How's this for uber-geekiness...I pre-ordered TWO copies. One for me, one for the son. Yeah, we have 3 people living in this house and 3 computers. We don't do that whole sharing thing very well.
