Origin/the sims 3 Error 12/13

It is my belief Origin /Sims 3 launcher is causing save problems and game crasing problems. I am running the game on widows 8, quad core, 8GB RAM, 750GB memory. Game is updated to 1.67 and comperter...

    I tried and have no issues bypassing Origin and the launcher with the old version. I downloaded the old version with the old serial code and it work. It won't work with he new version but that has nothing to do with the version of Origin but only with the Sims 3 base game you're using.

    Did you do a clean reinstall (cleaning out the registery) when you switch from new to old ?

Heard back from EA and everyone should still be able to bypass the launcher and origin to play. EA told me this function is working on theri computers. They feel if someone is being blocked from starting the game from TS3W file it is some kind of security block causing it. I let them know about my new computer in the mail and will update them when I do a new install.

That is simply not true.

You can only bypass the launcher if you have the old version installed. The new one won't let you.

Do let us know what happens when you get the new computer. Make sure you download the old version. You're game should not be prepatched if you start the game after downloading. It should be at 1.0. If it's at 1.42, you have the new version (still don't know if having both on your account does prevent you from downloading the old one)

    I agree with you and not with EA so as soon as I get my new computer set up I will let you know

      Crin and Robert new computer is here and it is a little diffrent than 8. Need to get use to 8.1. What do I need to shut down to install the sims without interfearence. This computer also came with McAfee which I will remove should I remove before install, Mc Afee is activated automatically. They did not even ask me if I wanted it!  Im getting rid of it anyway
