What if she gets past it? I need multiple layers? Does lastpass work on Windows login?

If you're afraid of her guessing the password to your computer, you should probably be more afraid of her being able to reinstall Windows, or just install it on her own media.

Sure, that might work.

Agreed, if she likes the game enough to be compelled to pirate it then she should respect the developers enough to support what they're doing so they can continue doing it.

Do the above and tell your parents your sister is pirating games.

I'm sure that the parent will probably give the sister a thumbs up for not putting a dent in his/her wallet. As for op why not just block access to the Internet via router, if your router has that option.

The game is called Cities Skylines. It does not cost alot but if you want to play the game normally, you need to buy DLCs

No, you don't. There are plenty of free mods if you want extra stuff.

 

Locked, we don't help pirates here.
