Zazazu:
Jolrei has infinite patience.
Adonis:
ok, so I'm gonna have to explain it once again: First I uninstalled all my sims 2 ep, sims2 basic inlcuded, because I had no clue about SecuRom and thought that would help me to run the game - course it didn't. then I made some system restores (damn, I don't know whether that was good) and finally I came accross this forum and followed the instructions. actually, I managed to delete securom completely from my pc. however, no sims package was installed when I deleted securom and now, it is impossible to reinstall any. help me please!!!
btw: sry for my first comment, but I'm a nervous wreck, I have on that for many days and I'm frustraded cause the lteast ep has just been released in europe and I'd like to buy it, but I wont if I am not even able to lapy the normal game!

However, this solution may be temporary, at best, if you play CDs or DVDs in your DVD burner regularly (especially from any Sony Entertainment company) as many of these now also come with a version of Securom. Securom = disc transmitted disease for your compy. Abstaining from Sony may be the best policy.
I already got rid three times of Securom. It keeps showing up on the computer that I share with my daughter, probably because she plays CD/DVDs in the burner. Any suggestion on preventive measures that she couldn't circumvent? (Other than to tie my daughter's hands)

Why restore the system after you uninstall? Do you have any EA Games or Sims folders left on your system? Is the stuff all gone? Might system restore have reloaded some stuff that you just uninstalled?
You may want to try 1) getting a torrent version of the base game and seeing if that installs. Get one without securom and a no-cd crack for best/easiest results. 2) reformat your drive and start over if there really is something seriously messed up.
Can you install anything at all from your drive (other programs?).
Jelenedra:
Why doesn't it reinstall itself when you put the CDs in? Did you actually go through all the uninstallation process or did you start deleting things?
