I am guessing that if I buy a recently reprinted older ep such as uni, there may well be securom on it? I suppose there's no way to tell from looking at the box.
Thats a good question I wouldnt be surpsied if it did have it, and no were on the box does it tell you if it would be in there.
The game manuals dont even tell you its going to be installed
This is a question we're trying to work out over at SAS at the moment, so if someone gets a definite answer, let me know... However we reached the same conclusion because EA's own information says that they're using Securom for their copy protection and doesn't specify just new games, the conclusion we've reached is that if it's a newly printed game, it likely has Securom on it regardless of which Sims game it is.

To add to this:
I have all EPs', SPs' up to an including FreeTime.
I have just replaced my base CD version with a DVD version, as disk two was scratched and wouldn't install.
I have just won a copy of Pets EP over at the official UK site.
My original base game and original Pets don't contain SecuROM.
My new base and Pets have the words 'Sony DADC' (very small printing) printed on the inner circle on the shiny side of the disks. It's also printed on my Seasons disk.
Sony DADC are the makers of SecuROM and I can't see Sony implementing a competitors copy protection. This is just my thought though.

I guess that confirms the suspicion, then :P

My disks say that, too, and I most definitely do not have SecuROM on my PC. Thank you for saying this, though; I'd never have thought to check there.

Ok, this is the totally innocent, learning on my feet question.. Wouldn't your pc only contain Securom regardless of what you have installed IF you had tried to run your game without the nocd patch?
