Origin Launcher Questions
Greets!!
This is to address issues running Sims 2 from Origin, so yes, it's on Topic
So I've been attempting to help Prime with his crashing issues, he uses Origin.
A few questions for Origin users. Have you ever tried to run Sims 2 without the origin launcher?
Does the Origin Service allow that?
Have any of you disabled the Service and ran your game or games?
I assume this would be stand alone vs a game you play with other people online.
If not, would any of you who are a bit computer savy stop the Origin service, disable it, then reboot and try running Sims 2 via the exe itself.
Finding this out would be useful in eliminating the game not working.
As it appears to a number of Origin uses that an Origin upgrade can cause crashing.
Thanks a bunch!

A bit of off topic background....
I down-loaded the UC from Origin when they first offered it. Then promptly uninstalled Origin. This was a bit of a mistake as they later updated the Holiday pak.
Just letting those who did what I did, that they need to update it for completeness. It adds 50 items.
