Title: Sims 3 safe install Post by: Quill on 2009 November 05, 06:48:58 I'm wiping my hard drive and reinstalling Windows, which means I will of course have to install The Sims 3. I've got my saves and downloads backed up and all.
I vaguely remember (and found some old discussion of) the suggestion that it was best to use a no-cd crack and possibly other tricks when installing The Sims 3, to avoid possible Eaxis craptasticness, but it's been long enough since I installed the Sims 3 that I have no idea what I did to set it up correctly the first time. I have a legal copy of the game, but I still want to avoid the DRM. Obviously, I'm also failing at Google, since I can't seem to find any posts describing how to do this in a MATY-approved manner. I took a look at the SecuRom removal thread and quite a few others, but none seem to apply. Am I simply losing the few marbles I have? Can someone point out to me the thread I should look at, or describe what they did?

Title: Re: Sims 3 safe install Post by: Rockermonkey on 2009 November 11, 04:43:08 Well unless you have the illegal version, or the EA downloader-thing one, Sims 3 doesn't have any DRM or SecuRom.
So apparently yes, you've lost your marbles. If you have the illegal version, simply avoid the launcher. Actually, you should avoid the launcher anyway. Title: Re: Sims 3 safe install Post by: VacantBlue on 2009 November 11, 18:16:30 Using Awesomemod will eliminate the need for a no-cd crack.
