Bypassing the launcher on the mac
pet_peeve:
Weird. I've been playing it this way since 1.4 with no issues at all. The only time I ever had lockups at launch was from the launcher itself, which is why I wanted to do a bypass. For me at least, the game starts up exactly like it does when you click the play button in the launcher - you just don't see the launcher first.
Mine's a storebought copy, so it's certainly possible there's something with the cracked version that doesn't work if you bypass the launcher.
pbox:
For me, this does work (and thanks for posting about it =). I'm running Razor 1.2.7. I've only started the game onece or twice since I edited the plist, though. But i figure even if I do get glitches on the long run, it's easy to revert.
I forwarded your tip to Mac Help at mts, as well: http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=365310 -- no problems reported so far (but then not many people read Mac Halp).
Marhis:
Those are really good news, I'll try again, maybe it was only some voodoo glitch.
sudaki:
When I tried using this, I got a weird graphical glitch where every so often my screen would take on a cyan tint during play. Other than that it worked great, but the blue was a little distracting. This wasn't the kind of glitch you got, was it, Marhis?
Edit: Actually, it looks like this is just my old CRT in its death throes. In which case the bypass has no problems for me (retail + patches through 1.4 or so).
Sparkles:
When I tried this, it wouldn't start at all, ha.
