![]() Now TS3W launches the launcher) as Origin calls home to origin during and AFTER game play. Origin and the Launcher now sit open in the background (though the launcher sometimes closes - sometimes doesnt) and don't they leave a small memory footprint as they are constantly "working' in the background (such as downloading thousands upon thousands of thumbnails that will fill your FeaturedItems folder and origin constantly calling home).ĮDIT: So there might be more to this performance issue, after some trial and error it appears Origin is well and truly encoded into the new TS3.exe beyond just acting as a launcher (which the game runs from now - NOT TS3W.exe like it used to. This is a big one that directly effects the Sims 3 performance and goes back to reason 1. ![]() I REPEAT DELETING CACHE FILES WILL UNCHECK ALL YOUR EXPANSIONS/STUFF PACKS in the launcher. Doing so WILL uncheck all your expansions/packs in the launcher. (so actually a 4 step process to play the game.)ĮDIT: This is directly related to deleting cache files, updating mods and sometimes (this is random) removing/adding store content. I now need to check this tab EVERY TIME I launch the game. The new launcher will DESELECT ALL my expansions/packs when I load it when I make any changes to my Sims 3 doc folder - meaning if I don't recheck them the game would load without them - a nightmare of epic "save" proportions waiting to happen. I've also noticed the Sims 3 launcher sometimes closes itself and other times stays open. If you force close origin it will reload itself for a few seconds after you exit the game - so I'm not sure what actually effects this will have (force closing origin) on the sim3.exe file in-game since its clearly doing more then just launching the game. (I feel there is a joke here somewhere.)Īka Launch and login to origin - launch sims 3 launcher - launch sims 3.ĮDIT: You CAN close the Sims 3 launcher after the game launches - however Origin can't be closed (unless you do it via forced task manager). ![]() This means launching the Sims 3 has turned into a 3 step process from a 1 step. Every time you want to play the Sims 3 you NOW need to login and have the launcher PLUS origin running in the background. ![]() Reasons why YOU should avoid the new patch too.ġ. Well this turned out to be a horrible idea for 3 reasons. So call it unlucky but I re-installed the Sims 3 today as I also reinstalled my computer and ended up downloading the "new" version of the Sims 3 launcher. ![]()
