I don't consider downloading a song or an old video game (one that isn't being sold commercially anymore) to be as bad as downloading the Sims 2.
I'll probably get the no-CD crack, but I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it doesn't screw up my computer...
As to screwing up your computer, it is more likely that the "legit" purchased copy will bork your computer than a clean torrent version. As this is the case, from a "protect your investment" perspective, buying new EPs would be bad.

Thank-god I was linked to this site. :D I have The Sims 2, Uni, Nightlife, OFB, Pets,Seasons, and the nightmare BonVoyage and NO stuff packs. Everything was working perfectly until I installed Bon Voyage then mysteriously my CD drives and Bonvoyage completely stopped working.I went to the net and found out about this Securom abomination. Damn EA. I used their Securom removal tool off their website and I think it was deleted(my drives starting working again so I guess it was), but if I installed BonVoyage again it would just come back so for the past 7 months I have not being playing the Sims at all. However, my sisters and I leave for college in August and we have been getting nostalgic about playing the Sims again before we leave so against my better judgment(I know the Securom b.s.is on it) I went and brought Fun-time two days ago. I have not installed it yet.I am uninstalling all my packs.I want to start fresh.BonVoyage will not be installed back on my computer even if Securom gets permately deleted off. It was a boring waste of a pack anyway. Pets, even though it was Securom free, will not be installed back either it was another waste. I'm not computer savvy so bear with me. :-[
What is a no crack CD, and if it will permately not allow Securom on my computer where can I get it. Is it something to download or do have to buy it? There's so many instructions on how to remove Securom permately on the first page it made my head spin. So which one should I go with ? Do I install all the packs that don't have Securom on them first, then when I get ready to install Funtime, do I download this CD crack thing first and then install Funtime or vice versa? Will this CD crack recognize all the other packs? Should I make sure Securom is permately off my computer before I start reinstalling any of my packs? I have McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007, Avast anti virus 4.8. and Rogue Malware Removal tool all running on my computer.Is this going to be a problem? I think this happened when I sent my computer in to get a new hard drive but for some reason when it came back a message popped up saying one of my Nvidia SLI graphic cards has been removed. I've always had two graphics cards when playing the Sims now that I only have one for some mysterious reason how will this effect game play since the Sims 2 and its expansions have always seemed to need the best of the best or near it to run properly?Thank-you. :)

I can answer these: No CD cracks are free, get them at gamecopyworld.com. Also, remove SecuROM before using, because it won't automatically remove it, just keep you from getting it again. TS2 shouldn't be affected terribly by having one less graphics card - I'm running it fine on a computer from around 2000 that is very very obsolete, and it's only a little laggy. And finally, having lots of virus/malware protection won't cause issues with removal, but SecuROM will probably try to kill them since they're trying to, y'know, protect you from malware like it.
On a side note: Why are so many people calling Freetime Funtime? Is it different in international versions or something?

Yes; some of the foreign language versions translate to 'Fun Time' in English. I think BV had a slightly different name in some languages, too.

LoL, That was mistake on my part. I live in America and have the American version it 's just for some odd reason Funtime sounds better than Freetime to me and that's what I keep accidentally calling it. Anyway, so basically I uninstall all the packs first ,then do all the Securom removal stuff that's on the first page, then reinstall all the packs, then install Freetime but when it asks what folder to put it in doing installation I go to the CD crack website and follow the instructions from there. Am I right so far?
EDit: Okay I went to gamecopyworld and I swear it's like I'm looking at a foreign language. Does it
matter which mirror(whatever that's supposed to mean) I go in? It's seven of them and I went in the first one. Then In the search bar I put Sims 2 Freetime. It then gave me this list below. Which one do I choose? And what in the world is a game trainer and unlockers and should I even worry about that? Also, The instructions say first install the whole game. Um, but if I do that wouldn't Securom just install as well and I thought the whole purpose of doing this was so securom wouldn't install with the game? Also if I decide not to uninstall any of my expansions that includes infected with securom bonvoyage would the cd crack for freetime overwrite the problems with bon voyage or do I just go on ahead and do a complete uninstall and if I do that and reinstall bon voyage do I use the cd crack for freetime since I'm installing that right after or do I use a a cd crack for bon voyage and a cd crack for free time? Also can I skip the step for the fun time crack about the official patch(the first one) I've never did patches for any of my games because I've never had a reason to and I doubt the first freetime patch is still available since EA has come out with the second one.
