No CD check not working
sweetbajan:
no it doesnt work like that :(
I will search the forum for a way to avoid the launcher on the mac.
thanks 4 all your help.
sweetbajan:
figured it out for anyone who is having problems...
* find the executable itself - probably in /(your hard drive)/Applications/The Sims 3.
* Right click on it, and select "show package contents".
* Open the "contents" directory if it isn't already.
* You will see a file named info.plist. Open that by dragging it onto textedit. Don't move it out of that directory! You might want to take a backup first.
* Scroll down to the line after this one:
<key>CedegaGameName</key>
* Change the last part to read TS3.exe instead of S3Launcher.exe. Be careful not to disturb any of the rest of the file or mess with line endings. It's XML and an extra return shouldn't matter ... but you never know.
* Save and quit textedit.

That's one way to make sure you never open the launcher, but you could also have found TS3.exe inside of the package contents -cmd click make alias and move that alias shortcut to the desktop replacing the old one.

nanacake: the people above you are talking about OS X. OS X thinks .exe is some kind of garbled text file, so doubleclicking on one does nothing useful.
sweetbajan's info is perfectly correct.
That said, I've been running both with and without launcher and the Awesome-NoCD has always worked fine for me. Seems strange that for other OS X users it doesn't .. maybe the patches are making a difference? (I've only ever used 1.0, 1.2.7 and now 1.7.11) Right now I'm using twallan's NoCD with 1.7.11 and the launcher enabled (because I keep being too lazy to dig up that file to re-disable it), and that also works without issue. I believe for both of these NoCDs to work one has to start from cider though, not from app-doubleclicking.

I know but I thought it would be the same as TS2 was on the mac? All the files usually for applications are inside the package contents, usually if it's just a emulator encased around the same windows installation files. Wish it wasn't that way though if companies stop porting games for mac and actually spend a little bit developing it for OS X they would run better.
