How to get rid of SecuRom, NOW
Venusy:
Notes on removal from Vista: running cmd as root like the first post no longer works. Instead, enter the following:
schtasks /sc Once /ST (current time + 1 minute) /TR cmd /TN cmd /IT
EDIT: Wait a minute, why did I get SecuROM 7.02 when the version on BV is apparently 7.20? And why did I even get it given that I haven't started the legit executable up?
NEVERMIND: It was apparently installed by GTA: San Andreas. The cmd command is still useful though.

Hi Again, On with the saga. Have a new Vista machine en route, no Sims goin' on that one darnit! Set up the broken machine with the disabled USB's as a standalone just for Sims and ripping my music. Sneakernet is a PITA, but better safe than sorry. Thanks to all you intrepid folks, for all the comfort and support. No SecuRom. Followed the instructions (once i understood them) and all is well. Not that it probably matters at all now since the damage was already done to my USBs and that borked machine is going no more online. Thank goodness my hubby is all love and understanding! The minute it looked like a mobo failure he said buy a new one, and then when it wasn't he said buy a new system. He is such a love. That is my reward for not crabbing about his hunting trips. Heh heh heh. More Sim time for me, right? My sympathies to all the kiddoes that will have (and have) problems and no money or support. K

Yeah, I have 7.02 from NeverWinter Nights 2. It doesn't screw with my system like 7.20 does, so I'm letting it live. That and there isn't a crack for the current NWN2 patch.
Kikilove, Go ahead and install BV. Don't start it up. Go to the official site and apply the patch. Go to the link by tessiroo for the patched version of the crack (http://www.gameburnworld.com/gp/gamefixes/sims2bonvoyage.shtml). Download it. Open up the compressed file and take the file named Sims2EP6.exe and follow just step 4.

4. To not get it again, you need to start loading from a no-CD crack. I recommend the Fairlight version from http://www.gamecopyworld.com/. Go to "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Bon Voyage\TSBin" and change the name of the current Sims2EP6.exe to Sims2EP6.bak. Then place the crack in the same folder. Make a shortcut to this on your desktop, and run the game from this new shortcut.
I'll add the link to the patched .exe to the first post.

Hey everyone! i am new here and i just found out about securom two days ago. Luckly i still dont have BV or H&M. I am planning to install BV this friday and i am really scared of securom since i am getting a brand new perfect desktop.So...can anyone please walk me through the process of installing BV and the patch and then replasing the exe. file. I am completely lost! Do i deletete the old exe file, when do i install the patch and how to actually get the no-cd thinng.
??? ??? ???
Possibly time to redirect people back to the very top of the thread. This provides a pretty good walkthrough/tutorial, courtesy of Zazazu, I believe. With regard to the .exe file specifically, Do NOT delete it. Move it somewhere safe or rename it when you put in the no-cd .exe file. You might need the original again if you need to patch or update something.
