how did you bypass origin like that? I just bought a new computer that has windows 8. i havent used it yet and i also bought a bunch of sims 3 games. Do the games actually work on a windows 8?
right now with new origin you can't bypass origin . Im speaking to EA and have a claim opened trying to resolve the issue. I am doing a new install of the game because things were missing in the launcher options. This happened before and after I did a full system restore. I am now doing a new install again to see if things are missing.

Before I did the system restore. Game ran pretty well on windows 8. Was running several EP's but not Pets. I ran the game on med, 8 GB ram, quad core, dual AMD graphics (med level card. ) no issues for a long time other than some of the known glitches in the sims like stuck sims, etc. I wasnt having save issues until the files got bigger and figued out bypassing origin and the launcher gave me quick and clean saves. The game loded quicker too bypassing the launcher and origin
