-- possible registry problems
But I will leave you in her more than capable hands.
I wouldn't delve into what the exact registry entries say and agree with Nitromon that what can look like a mess to us is often the way it's meant to be with these older games that have gone through so much in their evolution and platforms over the past decade. It may very well still be that an uninstall, total registry clean, reinstall is required but we're not really ready to conclude that yet.
I will add though that players on Patch 1.69 cannot start the game with a TS3w.exe bypass shortcut. That's the 1.67 and prior way to start the game. On 1.69, the game must be started by way of Origin. No way around that. It's been that way since Jan 2016, and that's an issue that does cause grief when the required handoffs from Origin to the Launcher to TS3.exe (without the "w") do not happen as they are supposed to. If a player on 1.69 tries to start the game with a Launcher bypass now, what is supposed to happen is that the system just brings them back to Origin. That's one of the benefits of a Steam install -- the bypass way still works and we can still start the game without involving Steam or the Launcher directly. I never start mine through Steam and the only time I ever use the Launcher is when I need to interact with or add some sims3pack installs.

Hi, igazor, thanks, I’ll go there to the front now, but I came firstly talk to you guys here,
The problem of the reinstalling is that here where I am there’s a technology problem, my internet runs at 200kb, and downloads at 90kb (I know, it’s too much suffering).. .
I’m in the middle of the amazon forest, near an indigene forest reserve, and this game it’s my fun. I work with animals and plants here.. . It will be very difficult for me having to download everything again, it took me almost 7 days to download everything, and I wanted to solve this without having to do this again, because, I have another apps, such as adobe, steinberg, music software, and they’re too heavy.
Said otherwise, having to reinstall windows and everything will be more than one month.. . but yes, would be the last option, I wanted to try, before, I’ll go there to the front talk to that expert you’ve indicated, and try to talk to him/her, see if there’s something new, some light.. . my emotional state isn’t so good, this story of covid hit my city, and.. these games have the capacity of taking us out of these things, and.. that story of Robbin Wood.. EA should’ve more respect with this game, it is the best one, better than the 4one, and even still, will be better than the 5one, and ea knows this, there’s nothing comparable to ts3, who gave possibilities for developers of the entire world being able to use it as a semi-opened platform… .in mode that, we’re discussing something more as well, the respect, and this has been always something disturbing, in the consumer’s head.
Thank you.
