How to get rid of SecuRom, NOW
jsalemi:
As long as you don't run the game from the "official" .exe, you shouldn't get SecuRom on your machine. So don't install the new patch until a new no-cd.exe is available.
toad:
I followed all the steps at the beginning of the thread, but I'm stuck on this one:
Step 4: Removal of Securom files under "C:\Documents and Settings". I've unhidden hidden files, and I've unchecked 'Hide protected operating system files', but I still can't see a Securom folder. I've successfully completed the preceding steps. Does that mean that Securom is gone, or have I just not been able to find it?
jimbo:
I tried the new "no cd" crack and it doesn't work. I still get emulation detected. I replaced the exe. Do I have to do all that regedit things to get the no cd to work? The crack I got is found on gcw. But does not fix my problem after I installed the patch. Thought it removes the securom and lets me play but samething "emulation detected". I dont have anything like that besides nero and I removed it to check and samething. Any help please because I want to play freetime. The patch fixes some problems I have.

you need to wait until they create a new no cd crack the one posted is for the last patch. new version should be 1.2

I followed the removal directions for SecuROM, and I can't seem to find any traces of Securom, anywhere. I'm sure I have it, but it's not showing itself to me. I even tried downloading a program to detect rootkits or something of that nature, the program wouldn't even run(maybe I did it wrong?) I've been searching online for 1 1/2 months, trying to find a way to play my Sims2FreeTime, but nothing seems to work. The weird thing is, it used to before any of the patches game out. I mean sure it had a few bugs, but nothing unlivable. Now my game crashes literally two minutes after I load any house! I t just says "This Application has crashed. The program will now terminate" I deleted all my CC, tried uninstalling and re-installing the game, tried both pacthes(old and new), I tried without patches, nothing works. My computer was just recently re-formatted(a week before loading Sims2) I thought that might get rid of SecuROM, but I don't know I did install the latest patch but my game crashed instantly after neighborhood pan around, so I unstalled all my EPs and SPs again. And now I'm trying to locate the new SecuROM that came with the patch, and FreeTimeEP. But It doesn't show up, when I followed the "REMOVE SECOROM" directions.?? Can anyone help??
