![]() ![]() This may all change if/when EA ever finishes up with the 64-bit and Metal update they have been working on for coming up on a year now. There is no Patch 1.69 for Mac, so players on that platform have never been tied to Origin (for Mac) or the Launcher and their game can still be started up with a shortcut/alias to TS3w.exe (with the "w" since these players would still be on 1.67). Even if I had the technical skills to make such a modification, to do so would effectively be facilitating piracy, which is not allowed on this site.įor whatever it may be worth, despite all of the flaws inherent in the Mac version of TS3 this isn't one of them. Obviously, this tweak does not allow the game to run without Origin. I won't spoil the rest of the available flags right now you'll have to find them yourself in the code. For example, the launch option "-soaknsave:300" will enable a built-in autosaving feature that will save the current game to "soaktest0" through "soaktest9" every five minutes! It's obviously incredibly rudimentary compared to NRaas Saver, but still an interesting artifact nonetheless. It appears that quitting the game and restarting Origin resolves this issue.Īn interesting side-effect of this is that, because Origin is launching the game executable directly rather than using the launcher or the TS3W wrapper, you can use the "Advanced Launch Options" in Origin to set normally-inaccessible program flags intended for debugging. I've noticed that with this change, you may occasionally get the "You have an unofficial modification" message, even if all of your core mods are up-to-date. Repairing the game through Origin should also hypothetically restore everything to original functionality, although I have not tested it. If you need to open the launcher again for whatever reason, simply delete the modified Sims3Launcher.exe and restore your original copy/backup.
