If you REALLY want to use Launcher to install Sims3Pack with 1.8/2.3
markjs:
GnatGoSplat, after browsing into some .ini files at the game folder I find out a easier way to this all this process to make the launcher work.
All you need is the .exe v1.7.9/2.2.8, all you have to do is to put the .exe into the folder you currently use, example, if you have HELs, then put it at <HELS Dir>\Game\Bin.
Rename the exe you copied to a fitting name, "WorkingEXE" for this example.
In the bin folder it will be a file named "Sims3Launcher.ini" open it with notepad, edit the line with GameProcessName "variable" with the name of the exe, in this example it will be:
GameProcessName = WorkingEXE
Save it. Done, now you can use the launcher you normally open the game.
This saves the bytes to create a copy of the whole Bin folder.
Forgot to say:
Don't use the Launcher to open the game, use a shortcut to the game binary instead.

Well, I've been happily using this method, and the message from markjs makes it even simpler, but I have not been able to install the last simpacks updates: first it said I needed to update and try again, and putting through s3rc it hangs indefinitely at 0% of 'installing'. I haven't tried decrapifying yet, as it would defeat the point, but is it just me because I suck, or did anyone have the same problem?
Tried decrapifying, did the 'am installed, but not really routine', decrapified through DOS, same thing, then tried with the working launcher, and it hangs, same as before.
I'm officially beaten.

I decrapified the Fairy Set with Jfade's new tool, and installed it with an unmodified HELS Launcher just fine.

I tried to find it, but only found 0.15, so thought it wasn't out yet.
