I assumed there must be a TS3W.exe script lurking, but I can’t locate any modified ist in any of the games. BUT if I double click those packs or try to select ‘open launcher’ from the Sims3 start screen, I get ‘unexpected error’.

I want to add a couple of custom worlds, and they don’t seem to extract as *.world files so I think I’ll have to install the Sims3Packs via the launcher.

All the games were re-downloaded from origin for installation. At some well time in the past, I recall modifiying the ist script to bypass launcher, but definitely not since I installed later EP’s, and I don’t think since I’ve installed onto this new computer.ĭespite this, my game bypasses launcher and opens and plays fine when I open via the icon in Applications folder. Hi there, you’ve helped me enormously previously, thanks. If you want to go back to using the Launcher just change the text back to S3Launcher in the ist file. Follow steps 2 to 5 above but apply to the Pack, not the base game.In the Finder window that pops up right click on the Pack (it will no longer have the little Alias arrow in the bottom left corner) and select Show Package Contents.Go to Applications > The Sims 3 then right click on the most recent Expansion or Stuff Pack you have installed by release date order (scroll to the bottom of the article for Packs in release date order) and select Show Original.

If you have Expansion and Stuff Packs installed: Your game should now bypass the Launcher.

Here’s my own breakdown on how to do it, using hers as a guide. Ashpeef wrote a fantastic guide on how to do this over on the official forums a few years ago which I have linked to so many times. Only applicable to the 32-bit version of the Sims 3īypassing the Launcher can help with the memory issues Mac users encounter when trying to play Sims 3, including the dreaded Unknown Error message and Debug error message.
