I've just learned today that the game includes a program called SecuROM on every copy of
Bon Voyage and
H&M Stuff. More details are available here:

and here:

and elsewhere on the main Sims 2 site. This program is apparently classified as malware; it can leave your system open to hackers and render everything you have vulnerable to attack. The only way to be rid of it is to reformat your system and not reinstall either
Bon Voyage or
H&M Stuff. As I have the latter installed on my system, at this point I no longer know if Foster's Valley can be saved. I will try everything I can but right now the prospects are not good.
