Topic: The Sims 2: Bon Voyage Expansion -- Issues w/ the SecuROM Copy Protection

[MysterD]

Looks like the SecuROM Copy Protection is causing all kinds of nasty issues for owners of Sims: Boy Voyage expansion...

Here's The Official FAQ from Sims 2: Bon Voyage's site, as it discusses how the SecuROM CP works.

After Bioshock and now this w/ Sims 2 expansion (a very popular mainstream series), man -- Securom might wind up on the path to becoming as infamous StarForce..

Oh no, shitty copy protection on a Sims expansion!  Now I can't complete my Sims collection, guess I should just go cut myself now.

The SecuROM CP dials home here -- like it does w/ Bioshock.

I'm really getting tired of this "dialing home" stuff.

According to the FAQ I linked up there -- though, it does seem funny that if you do download the game to try and pirate the game, yes -- the game will in fact dial home and if it notices you have a non-real copy of the game, it'll ask you to buy a license to play it.

Hehe.
