Edit in Game for Go Social?

ianxzi

Hi everyone!
I just want to know if there's any way that I can use Edit in Game mode with the Go Social version of Sims 3 (The one downloaded from Origin.) I hear that you need the early copy of The Sims 3 that doesn't have the launcher in order to enter Edit in Game mode.
If there's no way to do so, then I REALLY hope the Sims team creates a way for us with Go Social to use Edit in Game before the Sims 4 launches.

Hello Turtlez98,
I don't think there is a solution other than investing in another Sims3 base game.

Here is a link to a discussion about this issue that might help.

Okay, I got help directly from an EA tech, and there IS a solution to this...it's just way complicated.

FIRST: Uninstall The Sims 3 entirely
SECOND: Get a registry cleaner like CCleaner; under "Registry" have it "Scan for issues". You will have to do this multiple times before everything is ready to go. When there are no more issues to be fixed, close CCleaner
THIRD: Download and install the digital version of The Sims 3
FOURTH: Run The Sims 3 once, just to get everything established
FIFTH: Download and install the Sims 3 superpatcher; your version of The Sims 3 should now be 1.67.2.024017

After this, Edit In Game should work without the Origin client coming up. Badabing.

Did it work? @Keight

I wouldn't be posting it if it hadn't; worked like a charm! :smile:

I'll have to try that out! Not sure if necroposting is allowed, but I'm really glad you told me this :P

Hey, I'm only trying to help folks; if that's against the forum rules, just call me an outlaw. :)

You did say, "After this, Edit In Game should work without the Origin client coming up." so I wasn't sure if you did this or was only repeating.
It's great for builders then.

I did it.
The game itself will activate without Origin too. I'm very pleased to have this workaround. :)

If you have the Go Social version of the game, like this:

then these instructions do not work!

This is what happens:
Started up CAW


Selected to Edit In Game:


Up pops Origin:

Well, then I don't know what to tell ya. I was pretty sure that was the version I have, but your Origin icon isn't the same as mine.

Still...did you do these exact steps in the exact order, leaving nothing out? Cuz if you get your version current (1.67.2.024017), there'z no reason it shouldn't work.
