How to bypass the launcher?

[ohayitstiffanay]

My game hasn't been starting lately, and i think the launcher is to blame because it constantly freezes, and all the CC in the launcher doesn't show up in the game anymore anything. That doesn't bother me, it's preventing my game from crashing like it used to, but how do I bypass the launcher and just start the game?

There's a FAQ (http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_Bypassing_the_Launcher) on that. You'll have to scroll down to get to the instructions on how to do it on a mac.

I already read that, and I did everything it told me to do, and i tried both patch versions and the launcher still opens.

Do i need to change JUST the copy of the info.plist or do i need to change both?

[Mordant17]

Other way around. You want a copy for a backup (in case things go wrong, or whatever). Then you edit the info.plist file.

awesome, it worked, thank you very much!

it bypassed the launcher, and now all the content that wasn't showing up in the game from the launcher is now there, and i have some new sims3pack files, but how do i install those now? cause when i click on the files, the game starts. do i need to put the original launch code back in the info. file then do it, or is there another way?

now I can't even get my game to start, it launches then it just has a black screen, and the launcher keeps freezing every time i try to install or uninstall something.
I don't get it, it worked last night!
