User blog comment:Jlhsam/Sims 2 Launcher Bypass that really works!/@comment-480886-20140730001916

If this works for you, it works for you... but it appears that players who do not have a compilation may not have a "Sims2SC" file. I used Best Of Business to get the H&M and K&B stuff packs, but have no "Sims2SC" file in all in any normal EP or SP folders, just in the Best Of Business folder. Also, unless Fun with Pets was used to install M&G, a player with Seasons or later can use that disc, because SPs before M&G are based on OFB or Pets. Those players can use the disc for their latest EP, and can bypass the Launcher as per Launcher or the page k6ka linked to. If your method works for players who use a compilation disc, regardless of which EPs they have, that's great -- the more options the better. However, please be careful about assuming that other people's installs are like yours.
