How to get rid of SecuRom, NOW
Skye:
I can help with part of this. You will only get the FT one because that is the latest one.
Securom is in the cd, but it will not be installed unless you launch from the play button. If you replace the exe file with the no cd one you will not be launching the game normally, and thus not installing the securom (you will save the old file with .bak at the end of it-just in case you have to go back to the original game)
I'm not sure right now which one is the original no cd crack. There have been others added, because of the patches added on the home site. If you don't have the patches, it would probably be the
* The Sims 2: Freetime v1.0 [MULTI16] No-DVD/Fixed EXE
I'm sure that's the one I have. I don't have the patches. (I do have the fixes found in this site, though!)
Roux:
So many questions! Fortunately, I had couple glasses of wine with dinner, so I'm in the mood to help.

(snip) 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?
Uninstallation/reinstallation is not required. Skip straight to removal of SecuROM, download CD crack, then run the game using the crack.

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?
Mirror does not matter. I just pick a random one, and it's fine.
SecuROM does not install until you RUN the game from the original executable file. The "install the game" note is just for the people that think that all they need to play the game is the cracked executable.

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?
That has to be the longest question I've ever seen. But in short, you don't need to uninstall anything. If your most recent expansion is FreeTime, that's the crack you choose.

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.
Game Fixes:
* The Sims 2: Freetime v1.13.0.161 [MULTI16] No-DVD/Fixed EXE
* The Sims 2: Freetime v1.1 [MULTI16] No-DVD/Fixed EXE

list
Ah, damn, skye already responded. But to reiterate skye's statement, since you have not applied any patches, use * The Sims 2: Freetime v1.0 [MULTI16] No-DVD/Fixed EXE

Not completely true. It does not install until you Run the game, on an Admin account. On an account without admin control, it will install upon game Install.

Okay I did this(below) and it said scan complete 2 times and there was not anything there for me to delete so I guess I don't have Securom anymore. Just to be on the safe side I downloaded this as well. DelinvFile from http://www.purgeie.com/delinv/dldelinv.htm This was an alternate step. Not one file said Securom anything on it. So does this mean that this worked? http://thesims2.ea.com/help/detail.php?help_id=341. I didn't uninstall bonvoyage but I used the Securom utility to get all the registry keys off and I did not play bonvoyage anymore after that because their tool said by relaunching it, it will put securom back on. So if EA's utility tool, worked and it seems like it has, can I go on ahead and install Free time and then put the crack in.
Download regdelnull.exe and place it in C:\
Go to "Run" and type in "cmd", then type the following:
cd C:\
regdelnull hkcu -s
regdelnull hku -s

Oh, right... I always forget that part, since I play on an Admin account.
