BV patch is out
ShortyBoo:
If I uninstall/reinstall my game, won't it automatically reinstall the patch anyway? Because after each EP and SP is installed, it does the whole "checking to make sure your game is up to date" thing. Isn't that installing the patches?

I know, I know. It's just like fighting with my ex-husband, it's all my own fault. ;)
Well, there you see. Uninstalling clearly worked. Just take your time with the reinstall, and may we recommend a completely different game.
Do your research ahead of time. Don't get one that installs all kinds of crap that messes with your drives or spies on all your other programs.
Are we pushing this metaphor too far? :P
The sad part is that I found that even with years of research before installing, the actual program experience ended up being disappointing, frustrating and insanity inducing. After two different installations, I will not reinstall again.

Dizzy just posted a new file that fixes most of what the patch does.
I did? ???
That is so weird, I wonder if I dreamt it. In the thread this fix was posted, I said it was great and the poster after me said something like, 'and this one isn't 15MB to download either'. The OP - who I thought was Dizzy - said it was a file which fixed most of what the EAxis patch did. If the patch isn't 15MB then it must have been a really vivid dream. Plus, there's no new hack in my Dizzy folder. Spooky.

I don't trust it.
I've removed the securom folders and the registry entry, and added the no-cd hack
I installed the patch then re added the no-cd patch.
Then on this site (from phyllisp) I heard about a securom file that I missed "Here's something I noticed. When one hovers the mouse over the CmdLineExt.dll in c:\Windows\system32 folder, it says "Description: SecuROM context menu for Explorer. Company: Sony DADC Austria AG." and the version etc. Maybe instead of outsourcing, they got that part from the Austrian branch?"

So I went and found the CmdLineExt.dll file, and noticed that the last time it was modified was today. I downloaded and installed the patch today. humm. I thought of that as I read this post.
I have deleted that file (the CmdLineExt.dll file that is, I don't know about deleting the patch without reinstalling).
But I have told my firewall to deny thesims2 access to the web.

Heh. No, I saw a file posted by Dizzy, but I didn't know what it was, there was not much of a explanation.
