=== Avoiding the Launcher in The Sims 2 ===
The Launcher can be avoided by starting the game directly from the executable. This can generally be done by right-clicking on the shortcut used to start the game, selecting Properties, and editing the textbox labeled "Target:" so that "Sims2Launcher.exe" is replaced by the filename of the game's executable file. For an illustrated guide on how to do this, see [httphttps://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Bypassing_Bon_Voyage_Launcher this page] at ModTheSims.
 
In general, the executable that is used to start the game will be in the same folder as the Launcher. However, this may not be the case if the disc and shortcut for one of the [[Compilations of The Sims 2|compilations]] is used to start ''The Sims 2''.

==The Sims 3==
''The Sims 3'' launcher connects to [[Origin]] (formerly known as the [[Electronic Arts Download Manager]]) when new updates are available and enables the player to install and upload .sims3packages. It also displays the player's installed expansion packs and their [[The Sims 3/patch|game version]]. The Steam version of The Sims 3 omits the ability to install game updates via the launcher as they are handled by the Steam client due to the different file structure utilised by Steam. Also, players are able to download custom launchers from 3rd party sites such as Mod The Sims.
