How to get rid of SecuRom, NOW

Not quite. Their Life Stories ISO and subsequent Repack got nuked. Eventually Reloaded released Proper.
Every major cracking group can drop the ball once in a while. Usually they release Repack, or other group will come up with Proper.
As a general rule, it doesn't really matter if it got nuked subsequently, that just means you need to go get the good crack which will probably be up on GCW. The ISO itself is still good.

I've know this has been discussed, but I need to know for fact rather than hearsay.
After 3 weeks of endless problems with my rig that runs on Vista, I went out and bought a IMac. I have zero regrets making the switch, but when I bought the system I also bought a copy of IWorks, Photoshop Elements 6 and the Sims 2 base game. I don't have any problems with IWork or Photoshop Elements but I have yet to install Sims 2 due to fear that it will mess with my new system.
I've done searches to see if Securom comes on the Mac version of the base game and have come up empty handed. All I can find is mention of the PC version. Are my concerns just in my head or is there a valid reason for my unwillingness to install it without knowing what I'll be loading into my system? If Securom is on it, will it act like a feral cat locked in a small room or will it behave itself?
I'm still trying to work through the issues on my Vista system. It's been a major pain in the ass with no answers to be found anywhere, but if I can atleast get answers to some of it's problems I can always keep my pixel people on that system and not bother loading it into this one.

I don't have a definitive answer for you, but I have searched and asked all the macheads I know: the best information I have is that Aspyr has not used Securom on its ports of TS2. The base game in particular has very little to no chance of having it, since even EA didn't use it until BV. On mac versions just use your garden variety no-cd cracks on base game or any EPs. No Suckrom exorcism necessary. 8)

Hi there,
I'm about to buy Bon Voyage, so I've been reading (and re-reading) all 31 page of this thread for the past few days but couldn't find a clear answer to this question:
the patch for BonVoyage is .exe file, so "to apply a patch" means to run this .exe file, but if it contains SecuRom, as I understood, won't it be installed on my PC once I click on it?
I'd greatly appreciate if someone could explain it to me, if I'm missing something.

Securom is activated the first time you run game executable (Sims2EPx.exe), not patch executable. Installing a patch alone does not activate Securom. If you put the NoCD right after installing a patch, you should be fine.
