I tried to follow the step by step instructions to the letter. I will look into the cache.

I thought maybe another game (Civ IV) did it to me.

I am also downloading torrents for the game, which I feel justified in doing since I paid for them. This will prevent the need for EADM to install in the future.

Well, it is back again and my game won't launch.

After years of this, I am ready to give up. No game is worth this.

That worked. Thank you.

Thanks to Pescado, Saraswati, and Mootilda.

My game is still not launching. It does nothing when I double click the no cd-crack, which was working fine yesterday before securom showed up. I'm going to try reinstalling that, though I don't see how it shoudl matter.

I must love the Sims2. Any other game I would have given up on this years ago.

Ok, still tryin'. Have read about a third of this thread.

I'm stuck on step 8 here- http://reclaimyourgame.com/content.php?499-add-new-section which says

08. Now type in the following SecuROM Remover.exe /fulluninstall then press the Enter key on your keyboard.

When I try to run SecureROM Remover.exe /fulluninstall in DOS it says "SecuROM is not recognized as an internal or external command."

I also tried moving the securom files to the root of c:, rather than in their own directory as the installer places them.

Any suggestions? Thank you.

OMG. I have been trying to get my Sims2 game to work for two years. I'd get tired of trying and then come back to it  afew months later. I finally have determined that it wouldn't launch because of Securerom. No error messgaes. It just doesn't launch.

Not being smart enough to follow all of the instructions to remove Securerom, I reformatted my HD, did a clean install of TS2 and all EP's, then got the no-cd crack for M&G like the Great Pescado said. Everything was fine for a few days. I kept checking my regedit and was delighted to see no Securerom there.

Today, Securerom is back and my game won't launch again. I installed Civ IV last night, but I thought it would leave my Sims game alone. The only other things I have installed are SimPE and Delphy's Organizer, so it seems that any Securerom game will bork me.

*sobs*

Those Securerom bastards want screenshots of the error message. There isn't one. I hate them and I throw my stuffed animals at the wall while I curse them!


P.S. It looks like it was the EADM that re-infected me. Half my EP's are from there, so it got me. Trying to follow instructions for removal now.

I wish I was on the list. All the cool kids are. Everyone should write Thomass and ask to be put on the list. It's not fair to leave us off like that. It's discrimination I tell ya.

I'm wondering if I can change the filename of a neighborhood to have it become a zone atached to another hood. I like to play in one hood only and then have the sims travel to the medieval or western zone of their hood.
