Re: How to open Sims 3 without desktop shortcut or start menu icon??
you can go to this folder programs(x86)\Origin_Games\thesims3 (path may vary depending on your installation) and find a folder called game in there. From there navigate to the folder bin
Inside the bin folder, there should be a file called ts3.exe. You can create a new shortcut of that file and or just double click on that to start.
As for your expansions on Origin. Did you ever register the rest of your expansion packs ?
