Cannot bypass the launcher; extra folder "Packs" in the Bin folder
rosenshyne:
I tried running the game from both the TS3EP07.exe in the Supernatural folder, and the TS#EP04.exe in Generations; both pull the launcher. At this point, I feel like it's my "reward" for actually buying the game. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Run the latest .exe file, not the one from the base game.
If you're using something like 3Booter, it needs to stay in the base game folder.

My own shortcut, which quite frankly I have had from the beginning and have never, ever changed, way back when the Sims Gurus gave this info to bypass the launcher when it didn't work at all at game launch and people were not able to run their game at all, has always worked. I now have a mixture of purchased and purloined expansion and stuff packs and this shortcut always works and never brings up the launcher. So, I don't think it can be a purchased problem. I got my .exe from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\TS3W.exe".

On my laptop I downloaded the BG and EP's from Origin and now I can't run it from the exe either. I already know this is an issue with a newish base game that doesn't allow it now. I just need to uninstall the BG and reinstall my original disk BG and I'll be able to run it from the exe.
Do you have the original base game or do you have the one that says something about 'social features' at the very top of the case? That version won't let you run the game from exe. I've never heard of anyone having an extra "packs" folder, though.
Oh wait, I just checked and now I see the Packs folder. You shouldn't need to go into that folder though because the ts3w.exe file is located in the first Bin folder.
