Are you sure the forcecore thing is supposed to be applied to the launcher? ???
I missed that. I'm pretty sure that's a problem, too. :D

Yea, no -- you have to bypass the launcher, and make the target the actual game executable. The correct string would be:
Forcecore.exe -1 "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 FreeTime\TSBin\Sims2EP7.exe" -w
(with forcecore in your system32 folder, you don't need to put the whole path to it, since that folder is already part of the system path.)
ChamiMinds:
I wasn't sure if I needed to include the path for forcecore or not. Makes sense now, I had tried it without and just putting forcecore.exe -1 before the path but got an error so that was the reason for the added path. Turns out Forcecore doesn't like being in a subfolder, once it was taken out and just put into system32 folder by itself it worked like a charm. Oh the lil things you often have to do just to get something to work right! Thank you for the help! I have a slightly better understanding of target lines now.
jsalemi:
The quote marks will get you every time if you're not careful. The principle is, if the file path has spaces in it, you have to quote the whole thing. No spaces, no quotes (though they won't hurt).

I wouldn't worry about it, Trigger. I have an AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core processor and a GeForce 8600 GTS, and the game runs beautifully. However, I only have the expansions up to OFB (plus FFS), so that could be why I haven't experienced any crashing yet. I'm not too worried, though. My system is optimized, I have plenty of RAM, and I run the game with the Win2000 Launcher. Win2k Launcher does the same thing as ForceCore, plus it has some very nifty extra features such as the "application priority" setting which allows you to decide how much CPU power you want to use to run the game. I set mine on "MAYHEM" since I don't run any other programs while playing TS2.
Edit: Removed an extra "yet." ::)
