Is there a way to remove the patch once it's installed? I just installed it, but now I'm having second thoughts. Is it too late now? I haven't even played since installing the patch. Actually, I don't want to play period since I still have SecuROM since I can't follow those complicated instructions to get rid of it. Instead I've been spending my time playing my DS or PS2. Until there's a fix for the choppy music/sound effects, freezing and the sims returning to the vacation lot over and over again, my game won't be getting played.

Ok, here's the problem. When I open up the DOS prompt, I get this: http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/8803/yafsscreen003gh0.jpg If I type anything, it tells me it's not a correct path, but I can't figure out how to remove what's already there (the C:\Documents and Settings/Krystan) Does that make any sense? I'm not exactly computer illiterate, (I manage to do most basic stuff like formatting drives, installing parts, etc) but I've just never had any reason to do anything in DOS.

Ok, then how else can I get rid of SecuROM?

I did that, but I'm unsure what to do next. My brother told me to go to Start/Run and type in "cmd". Well, I did that, but then when I typed in that first line it tells you to enter, I got some message about C:\ not being a command or something. I think it's because it's already pointing to my My Documents folder and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. My brother said he hasn't used that in ages, so he doesn't remember.

I can't get that RegDelNull program to work. I downloaded it, extracted it and when I double click on the file, a box pops up for a fraction of a second, and nothing else happens. Is there some trick to the program?

How do you check your registry? My brother built my computer and if I have any problems, he usually takes care of it, but he's not awake now. And I've never had to do anything with the registry before.

Ok, I have a question. How do you get rid of all the extra Tour Guides and Charlatans without screwing up the game? Can I just delete their character files? And if I delete them all, will they respawn (not tons, like the 37 guides I have and the 11 charlatans) but like 1 per vacation area?

That doesn't have the poses I'm looking for. The only photobooth poses it has are the goofy ones and it doesn't have the portrait poses either.

I'm wondering if someone could make a hack or a hacked object that lets sims do the poses from the photo booth (normal & romantic ones and the single normal poses) as well as the poses from the sim portrait thumbnails. I'd really like to have this because it would be so useful for taking pics.
