Poor me I have only been out shooting a few times.... And it does not work well for me. Apparently  my arms are too short to even hold a rifle properly let alone shoot it. I do okay with some bows though.

I agree with you 100% That is the reason I have thus far avoided the game like a plague lately, I don't even have the will to play my game with out BV anymore. I am just so disappointed with EA these days. I have ARRed version of BV sitting on my hard drive just waiting to be installed, but I just can't bring myself to do it.

What I do not get is how they think a few days is sufficient to got all the data they need. There are over 100, 000 units of this game already sold and are still on store shelves. What about the poor clueless people who go pick up this game a month from now? Are they going to SOL because they missed the boat? And I agree, most the people I know who play this game don't ever look on the bbs, I mean they have never even been the main EA Sims site. Half of them even depend on me for for their CC, because they are too busy to go and download from everywhere. They just have me burn of as much of my folder as I can on a disk, Usually just my best stuff from Xm sims and hp, or Heleane. So those types of people are screwed because they do not even have the time or know how to go visit MATY for a decent fix.

Yeah, I am the same as Hec. Building is my favorite thing to do in the game. I caught the bug for it back when I learned that you could build floating houses and things. I never really build anything download worthy, though because I have the obsession with having the entire house completely symmetrical. I have always been that way, ever since my dad first taught me to draw a floor plan (he has a degree in architecture.) It used to drive him nuts.

Btw Blackmars, I love you avi! Makes me want to break out the avi I use on a resident evil forum.

Sorry to stray off topic here, but thank god I thought I was the only one! I have not been able to play most games since the Nintendo 64 because they make me so sick after about a half hour. I take crap loads of motion sickness pills before playing but it usually does not ever help.

Edited to be readable.

Wow, I just read up on some of the other Ea game forums, and all their new games are having these same problems. So far in my search, which has only been about five games so far, the only ones that have pin pointed SecuROM as the issue are the Sims and Command and Conquer 3. Most of the other forums everyone is going around in circles trying to trouble shoot their problems. The tech support thread for Medal of Honor: Air Born are 14 pages of the exact same issues that I see all over the Sims BBS, the only difference is Securom is mentioned at the most twice.

I don't know if you know this but Never Winter Nights 2 comes with SecuRom too. I don't know if it was ever fixed with a patch or if it will be with another expansion. I just though you may want to know, if you didn't already.

Oh, I know it is legit. It was was supposed to come off sarcastic, since EA was trying to block it. I just can't ever seem to type what I am thinking.

Thanks for the help Requip, I did not have the securom, I was needing the tools for some other nulls that showed up, turned out they were legit. Well one was a product of Daemon tools, so semi legit anyways.

Yeah. lots of times..... When I went to run it the first time everything loaded fine, but when I went to scan the ap just crashed. It wont even open anymore, well it flashes the command line long enough for me to just see it then poof it closes.

Gah I can't seem to get that program to work, anyone else have that issue?

Ok. That is a load of bull shit!!! it looks for a software that can be used to copy disks, my ass. It looks for anything that can play the cracked/burned/etc. games. And as a side effect disables a ton of other perfectly safe applications. You know I am gonna put the tin foil hat on here and say, I bet that it takes nice little logs of everything on your pc or something so that it can report illegal things on a persons computer, or something like that.

The whole thing is ironic though, they put hidden software our computers illegally, which is designed to keep you from using illegal tools to copy the software, which has only led to innocent users being harmed. And from the looks of things the people who got the game illegally are have not problems at all. Which is only leading more people to think of getting a pirated version.

The Avg thing found one on my computer, no idea what it came from, so I am going to set up a system restore the nuke the thing.


ETA: It may not show the secuROM, since it is not technically a root kit, at least according to Sony, but it acts like one. So basically a piece of shit by any other name is still am piece of shit(IMO)

Thanks for that info Hawk Girl, I think I will just manage without BV or any thing else EA puts out. I also wont be allowing my husband to get Bioshock, or anything else unless we know what kind of protection the disks come with.

Yay, I am not alone! I though the same thing. Although for me it was not immediate because the books are published by Hasbro now. And I have not played good ole' D&D in ages, everyone around here plays paladium these days, and I am partial to White Wolf.
