I know this is an old discussion, but…

It removes SecuROM *from the game*. But SecuROM also has a separate (though hidden) companion application that gets installed together with the game, and this separate application is the one that makes sure you are allowed to run the game. That one is what isn’t removed (and EA can’t really remove it on its own, because if you have other games installed that use SecuROM, removing it will prevent those other games from working until they can revalidate themselves and in the process reinstall SecuROM).

EA isn’t making the game DRM-free, though; they replaced SecuROM with Origin DRM. Just like they did with Sims 3 with the 1.69 patch. Which, incidentally, means I will refrain from updating, as I don’t want to be stuck with Sims 2 requiring Origin to be open.

Don’t give up and try again! It really depends on the assistant you get. I got my copy 2 months ago.

It’s a two sided sword. I bought it and I totally love playing it. It’s a much smoother experience than any sims play time I’ve had on windows, that’s for sure. I love
building my own neighbourhoods and vacation destinations from scratch wich is something you can only easily do in sims 2, that makes it worth the 30 bucks to me. Gameplay wise I think it’s really nice but the lack of content is very evident because barely any stuff packs are there and there two expansion packs are missing. I totally agree that Free Time and Apartment Life are two of the best packs because they’re so easily interpretated into you everyday gameplay.

Now game requires logging in Origin before playing. Is there a way to restore previous version.
