Long time lurker, first post anyway.

I am running my game with Sims2 + OFB + Seasons + BV (all patched)

I am thinking about to remove the secuROM. I had no problems with it (yet because my sims computer does not have web connection yet, but it will be soon) but I want to remove it. Please, I need some advices.
If I do the following my computer will safety get rid of SecuROM?
1- Remove SecuROM using Maxis Tool  (SimsBV_SU)
2- Download the NO-CD patch
3- rename my actual .exe (the one that came with Maxis CD) to .bak and use the NO-CD patch .exe to run the game.

I really plan to do it but I don't know if the NO-CD .exe will read my actual BV installation. I am confused if I will have to uninstall BV  or if the NO-CD patch is able to read my actual BV installation, needing just the .exe replacement
Also I'd like to know if Maxis Tool REALLY removes all SecuROM traces and files.

The explanation to Remove SecuROM manually is complete but as i don't have any knowledge on Registry Keys I prefer don't edit or remove anything on the registry. I really have afraid of it. That's why I am thinking about to remove SecuROM through Maxis uninstall tool. But I am so confused 

Please guys and gals, help me! 
Thanks!
