I can't honestly say that I followed the instructions because the part about the DOS had me confused.
You have to get the DOSpath to your MYDOCUMENTS\Electronic Arts\DCCache\ folder. This is somehow difficult, if you do not know DOS. But why don´t you take the example as a guide if you have a standard installation?
"..\..\DOCUME~1\USERNAME\MYDOCU~1\ELECTR~1\THESIM~1\DCCache" means nothing else, that you have to fill in the username you have choosen for the system.
If you feel unsure about this, get DOS Path 0.3.1 from here
http://softwaredownloadmirror.com/freeware/dos-path-0.3.1/102785557/
install and launch it. Then open up the DCCache window in your MYDOCUMENTS Folder. Copy the Windows path to the "Win Path" line of DOSpath and convert it. Voilá!

Also I don't know which folder to launch my game from.
The game per se will be launched from the original place. I do not use the launcher file (Sims3Launcher.exe) because it´s mean. Use the TS3.exe (or TS3EP01.exe) instead.

So then I proceeded with the TS3EP01.exe from the "working launcher" folder to play the game. It goes past the startup screen to the screen where I can now select the game I want to play then it starts to the load the game but then it crashes half way through.
As you launched the game from the "working_launcher" directory, it could not start. See my info above and start the game from its original location! This has been stated here several times. Read before you post!

I really want to play the game and I don't feel like reinstalling because I believe this is an issue I should be able to fix. Please help!!!!
I had the same problem, so now I use the TS3EP01.exe from the World Adventures folder. The instructions only state we should use the Launcher from the "working launcher" folder. But I could be wrong; you might want to wait for someone with more experience than I for an answer. ;D
That's correct. Use TS3EP01.exe from the WA folder to play the game, only use the working_launcher folder when you need to run the Launcher to install/remove stuff.

Cool. Thanks for verifying that. :) I suppose we'll have to do the same thing when we install the High-End Loft stuff pack?
Capitaine Marie:
All store content is showing in the working Launcher; but when scrolling through it, the Launcher freezes repeatedly. Any suggestions?
GnatGoSplat:
It does unfreeze itself if you're patient enough, right? I did have the problem of it being pathetically slow, freezing at times, and unfreezing. It was an exercise in patience. It does that with 1.7/2.2 as well so I just wrote it off as Launcher is inefficient, slow, and just plain sucks.
