I moved the sims folder ENTIRELY to my extra space drive on my SSD and named it "Electronic Arts BACKUP"

i even deleted all my saves as a last resort and it would still give me the mods disabled error.

I tried everything from moving the options folder to my desktop, moving my mods folder to my desktop,opening and closing the game several times, clearing my Cache, restarting my computer, crying, eating my feelings, bargaining with the devil. I was one of the few who weren't getting it to work. LOL.Īnyways, i saw some were getting it to work using the other methods provided and some weren't. All I have is the retail version.I get this is an OLD thread however i stumbled across this forum due to experiencing this issue for the FIRST time in my Sim gaming history after the update on and I've been playing since elementary school. I'm not entirely sure it works on the Steam version though, someone would have to check. Way more sensible to try to use this rather than migrating to Origin for patch 1.69. So there's no mistakes since it automates the process. But here it is:įrom what I understand, this basically does the "technical" way of disabling DLC for you. And I do apologize for not thinking of this sooner. If you want to select specifc game content to launch, you should use the Sims Game Selector. The Origin client is far less efficient and more resource hungry than the Steam client. It also forces you to launch the origin client, naturally since the game would be an Origin game in this case. This can leave you in a situation of being unable to play the game at all because sometimes, for some people, the game will not launch when started from the launcher. The launcher is notoriously unreliable and the 1.69 patch prevents you from bypassing it. It is there, but I strongly advise not doing it. I didn't find that particular feature to be too terribly useful and moved my game back to Steam for other reasons, but it's there if you feel it's critical to your game to have it. If you can click a check-box, you can make it work. No downloading, reinstalling or registry editing required. Originally posted by marstinson:And to point to the gorilla standing over there in the corner, the 1.69 patch (which requires migrating your game to Origin) allows you to simply deselect EPs and SPs that you don't want to use for your current game.
