Today I went to start up the launcher to play the game (obviously) and get an update photographed but it the lanucher won't really work...It gives me amessage saying this:

You won't have to reinstall the game to fix this! You can just bypass the launcher and run the game directly from the .exe.

Go to your EA Games folder in your Program Files, then go to the folder of whatever your game launches from (in my case, Mansion & G was my latest install so I go to that). The TSBin folder holds the executables. Right-click on the .exe for your EP (in my case, it's called Sims2EP9.exe) and create a shortcut, then place the shortcut on your desktop. Done!

If you have current shortcuts that you'd like to switch to the main .exe (like shortcuts in the start menu or the quicklauncher), just right-click the shortcut and open up its properties. In the target box, replace 'Sims2Launcher.exe' with whatever executable that you use (so I would put Sims2EP9.exe there instead).
