muahahahaha, thanks tessie, I'm the nasty one over there, and thank you for the warm welcome here.
I want the securom out of my system, but I want to play like no one's business. I just found out I have that daemon thing too. Do you think they will actually come up with a fix for this, or do you think they'll continue to hide from us?
No I don't think they will ever fix it. The only way to fix it is to get it off the game completely. They possibily could change to another copy protection some day, but that's not going to be for a long time.

I was wondering, do you get rid of the whole game, then get rid of the securom, then reinstall it and before you launch the play button, put that no cd crack in there?
You do not have to uninstall the game at all. Just uninstall SecuROM, then before you start the game up again, put the no cd crack in. The crack will bypass the launcher all together. You will start up from a short cut of the crack on your desktop. You will no longer need to keep the disk in the drive to start up the game.

Hi, I too have had lots of computer weirdness since the spring, and it kept getting worse. My tech said he suspected a rootkit, and then I found out about this Securom stuff. Well, long story short, I am now waiting for service on the machine because my USB's are malfunctioning. Once I get either restored USB function or a new computer, I am setting up the game system to "stand alone"...no internet connection.
For the first time I have downloaded a noCD crack from the link http://www.gameburnworld.com/gp/gamefixes/sims2bonvoyage.shtml
but I have read enough of these threads to be confused. The first entry from Pescado was clear enough. When i reinstall my game and EPs etc, before the first time I start it, put the noCD crack in place of the .exe ... got that. But there is stuff about torrent and Yasu and Daemon and I don't know how that all applies ... Is the noCD all I need, will I still have the CD in the drive? And the link above has two files, I wasn't sure, so I picked the second, is that for the BV patched game? I never in my life expected to go and get a noCD for anything, but I have been through HELL since April, if anyone is interested I can list 8 very weird things I experienced that convinced me someone had unauthorized access into my home network. Any advice vis a vis the noCD and which one I need would be very appreciated. K
morriganrant:
You have legal copies of the game, you have no need for deamon or yasu, that was for those of us who installed using a torrented copy.
You're doing fine so far, just install your games under an admin privileged account on your system and before you ever run it, drop the no cd in place. You will no longer need the cd. Make sure you drop it in the right place, some people have not and just put securom back on their system all over again when they used the shortcut and it was in fact the original one. Make a back up of the original exe, then drop in the no-cd. I don't have much experience getting things from gameburnworld, I prefer gamecopyworld. You can not patch with a no-cd in, you have to replace it with the original exe if you want to patch and then put the no-cd crack back (and have an unholy hybrid that may cause problems later) or find a patched no-cd to take the place of the old crack.

Yes, the patched BV version is v1.10.0.122.
Like morriganrant, I prefer GameCopyWorld to GameBurnWorld. Unlike GBW, GCW clearly lists the release date of NoCD and the name of release group who made the crack. The group name info can come in handy when multiple versions of NoCD are floating around.

Sky - if you're having trouble following those removal instructions, lemme know. PM me or something. (have you ever messed with your registry files before?) It can be pretty daunting if you haven't but it works, trust everyone here! ;D
As for the no-cd patch, once you open that .rar or .zip file, you'll fine a new Sims2EP6.exe file. That goes under this: Click My Computer, Click whatever hard-drive you have you game on, Click program files, Click EA games, Click Bon Voyage, Click TS bin and copy the new .exe file there. (Make sure you backup the other one in case.) Then just close all those folders and click on your BV icon on the desktop. This allows you to play without the CD (which means no SecuROM! :D )
Kinwa -
That's exactly what happened to me! (besides not being able to read CD/DVD anymore) My USB SanDisk mini-cruzer wouldn't read either......it showed emtpy, even though I know I had tons of stuff backed up on it. >:( Once I removed SecuROM, everything was fine. :D
