1. Yes, install all the patches for each title you install.
2. If you plan on installing BV, go ahead and install Celebrations first. If you don't want ShitcureRom, install neither.
3. After you install BV, regardless of how you acquired it, you can use the method I posted, OR use a no-CD exe to run it without the CD or an image of it. The only plus to my method over using your own image is size on disk. The only plus to using my method vs. a no CD crack is you can easily patch my method using standard EA patches in the future without setting anything back up.
Your method works perfectly. Also thanks to Invisigoth for info.
Even re-installing all the paid for copies was one big monkey fucked circus. The ass crackers at EA aren't getting another dime from me until they take that fraggle rockin SecuRom horseshit out of the game.

Has anyone gotten no-CD to work with the EALink version of Bon Voyage? I'm having a hell of a time with it. Have tried three (as far as I can tell) versions of the crack. All give me an error stating that I don't have at least DirectX 9.0. I have 10.0 and have reinstalled to make sure that it's completely up to date. Running from the launcher works, but I hate having to rely on being connected to the 'net, just in case. Plus, it's two seconds lost.
Same thing happening to me (I have Vista :-\ which comes with DirectX 10 installed) I had a no-cd crack for Seasons that worked great but this one from GameCopyWorld isn't working. ??? Or am I doing it wrong? :P ::) Can someone provide instructions on where the replacement .exe I downloaded goes?
Feel free to flame me now. :P

I'm on Vista and I have BV going with the fairlight noCD exe. It goes in the BV TSBin folder --where the sims2EP6.exe is (and yes you oughta be scorched a bit for asking that one :)) Keep a copy of the original as you'll need it if you get Hobbies, but I have no idea why you'd give them one more penny after this shit.....

ok i'm downloading the nocd crack (thanks jsalemi) but thought i post this here in case anyone has any thoughts how i can get this program to work
i was using SlySoft's Game Jackal Pro http://www.slysoft.com/en/gamejackal.html but ever since Bon voyage i've been getting "Conflict with Emulation Software detected" or "A required security module cannot be activated. This program cannot be executed (12110)" errors http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=8053 can anyone help? ???
just thought post this GameJackal 2.9.18.591 (beta) http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=8290 seems to fix this problem

I just want to make sure I truly understand this all before I do anything. I've read all of this, and find myself slightly confused an unsure of things.
SecuROM is obviously a potential danger to my PC in more ways than one. And if I remove it, using a method such as sissyangel posted, BV won't run.
So now I want to make sure I properly understand this and that it will work before I go messing around in my computer:
I can remove SecuROM using the mentioned method, getting rid of it and keeping my PC safe.
To play BV, I use a method such as moron's posted method where I don't use a CD and BV runs safely and properly without SecuROM coming back.
Is that basically right? I enjoy BV but I've already lost one computer, and I don't want to lose another. Especially not to this.
