Okay so if you're like me you don't use
ANY CD/DVD because you make images
of them, well anyway I just made an Image
of MySims (pc) and mounted it with DTPro.
Guess what, Securom kicked in and told me
I can't play it. So I go out and look for a no-CD
patch or some other fix, nothing time and time
again. Okay, if you've read this far you're probably
getting board of reading so I'll make this quick.

Mount MySims Image File with Dameon Tools Pro
using an emulated IDE drive. Install and attempt
to run you will get an error saying a security package
could not initialize or something like that. Restart,
make sure you're MySims image is mounted, now
go into task manager and end all Dameon Tools Processes.
Run again and you should be playing.

Hope this helps.

This method was tested using:
Windows Vista Ultimate <-- Heavy Registry modification
DAEMON Tools Pro Advanced v4.30.0303
MySims MDS/MDF image
No Image processes running (Nero, Alcohol 120%, etc...) *EDIT*

I hope this works for everyone, if not let me know
and I'll do some research to see why it worked for
me and not you, but lets all hope I don't have to ^.^

Enjoy, Share, and spread the word XD
