How to get rid of SecuRom, NOW
SassyFrass:
Do you have to completly uninstall the Sims 2 Freetime to get rid of securom?? If so when I reinstall it, even with a no cd crack won't securom just get reinstalled? Also, if I reinstall and put in my back up folder but use the no-cd crack will that put securom on my pc again? I have not been able to use Nero to burn discs anymore and I'm really peeved. ??? >:(

Did you read any of this thread?
Even if you uninstall FT, securom will still be there. Once you remove securom, the use of a no-cd will keep it from coming back. You game files have nothing to do with securom. Go back to the beginning of this thread and follow those directions for the removal of securom. if you installed on a non-admin account instead on an admin account, then the securom files that were placed on your computer are a little different, that information is also in this thread.

Thanks for your oh so polite response. I know that uninstalling FT won't get rid of securom, sorry if that was misleading as I'm a bit tired. What I meant was.....If I uninstall the sims 2 untill say BV and then remove securom, would securom just be reinstalled upon my reinstalling the sims eps, even with the no/cd crack? But I have the answer now. Thanks again, :-\

Well for one thing, BV has securom too, as does TSS, H&M, Deluxe and the Stories series, so does every EA game made now. You could remove all securom infected games and use the securom removal tool that EA has provided, I am unsure how well that works though. Once securom is removed, you can install securom infected games (on admin account) and replace the exe with a no-cd. So long as you never play from the original exe you, are fine. I can not endorse the securom removal tool as I have not used it and can not tell you if it gets everything when it's run. Following the instructions at the beginning of this page is probably the best method of removal.

I uninstalled every ep and stuff pack back to pets. I just hope I can remember what order to reinstall in :D I followed the directions and I'm pretty sure I have suckurom off my pc now!!! for yay. The true test will be when I try and burn a DVD, which I will be doing shortly. Now if I can figure out the whole no cd crack thing for Free Time... ya I've never used one of these before so I feel like a tard. Thanks again for all the help. Much less frustrating than the BBS.
