How to get rid of SecuRom, NOW
Solowren:
You're correct--running the game from the original .exe is what's going to hurt. Grab a noCD crack before playing.
LynnMar:
I have been googleing and just like they said, there are no directions for installing securom.
the 7z one says in properties securom fix and then I have the green sims.exe picture for exP6 now do both of them go someplace. I am just going to keep the securom because I don't know how to do it and I am not making excuses. Maybe I am a retard or an LD or something. thank you much. :P
Maybe if I still had myxp I could figure it out but with this stupid Vista I am lost anyway.

The Sims2EP6.exe goes in your Programs/The Sims 2/Apartment Life/TSBin folder in place of the original one (in that folder you'll find - indeed - a Sims2EP6.exe as well, apparently identical, but that is, in fact, the original with SecuROM).

??? He meant to google "7z" not "how to remove securom".
EDITed multiple times because today I am more idiot than ever.

I don't have apt. life yet, #6 is the one they gave me for Bon Voyage.
Wouldn't apt. life be number 8 or 9 or a higher number and THANKS for telling me where the icon goes . I got it from the game copy world.
So all I have to do is put that in the ts bin with the original one, make a shortcut to my desktop and run the game from the shortcut? 8)

The no-cd crack will generally have the same name as your original Sims2EPx.exe file (whatever number your latest EP is).
Save your no-cd crack in the TSBin folder of your BV directory (where the original BV .exe file is) as something like Sims2EPx-nocd.exe.
Right-click on your Sims 2 BV shortcut on your desktop and click on properties. Make sure your shortcut points to the no-cd .exe file (i.e. starts the game from the new Sims2EPx-nocd.exe).
That's all you have to do. If you do it this way, you won't even have to rename the .exe files again when you want to add a later EP (like FT or AL).
