SecuRom Scam:

I have bought every single Sims to date (back till the origninal sims) but I will NOT buy this one. I will not buy from EA until they remove manditory SecuRom downloads with their games. SecuRom will slow down your system and cause problems with other games, NOT just Sims. It is very comparable to Malware, and once it gets on your system dont expect to remove it unless you are very proficent with computers.
A class action suit against EA has been filed for SecuRom issues.

Love the expansion pack. but it's not worth the DRM hassle!:

I purchased two copies of this expansion pack because both my son and my wife are Sims 2 addicts. Both of them loved the extras BUT then the problems began!
As a 'PC expert' I was called in when my son's copy would not load. It seems that he had re-installed the game at least four times because he had installed corrupted custom content on his new Sony Vio laptop. He then found he could not get Apartment Life to work at all.
I tried and every time I insert the disk it ejects and the message 'Insert... more info
