Sims in Windows (I searched! I swear!) SOLVED

(1/3) > >>

LadyCrimsonSkye:
I looked, and tried to find where it shows how to make Sims run in Windows mode, but I fail at searching.  Here, any other forum, google.  I just suck at it.  Please help?

fatkitty:
Right click on your desktop shortcut.  Then click on properties.
You'll see a "target" line.  At the end of the target line add a space and then -w
Click apply and ok.  Start the game from the shortcut when you want to play.

Invisigoth:
This is really, really easy to do actually. Find your latest EP icon on your desktop and right click on it. Select "Properties". Find the spot where it says "Target" and add a space and -w to the end of the target line. It should look like this: "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 FreeTime\TSBin\Sims2EP7.exe" -w

If you need a picture I would be happy to provide you with one. I would also like to mention that this information is contained in our FAQ. It might be best to thoroughly read (or if you've read it before, re-read) our FAQ because it contains lots of useful information. And I bet I know why your search didn't work; it's not called "windows mode", it's called "windowed mode". :D

ETA: Whoops, fatkitty beat me to it. I'll let my post stand because the additional information I provided (FAQ link, windows/windowed explination, target line example) may be useful to someone, somewhere, someday.

LadyCrimsonSkye:
Thank you!  I knew it was simple, but I just couldn't find it.

FYI, this info is also in the 'readme' file that comes with every EP and SP, so you only had to search locally. :)
