Disable Origin in-game

Published on by BluebellFlora2 Comments

Running macOS Mojave? Updated security settings in the operating system no longer permit Origin in-game to run. If you want to have it enabled please read this update – https://bluebellflora.com/2018/09/22/disabling-origin-in-game-is-the-way-forward/

Having Origin enabled in-game has always caused issues on Macs. As well as causing lagging issues it can also cause your game to not load, something which seems to be becoming more frequent amongst players. So the best thing to do is just disable it. Unfortunately you will have to do this after each Origin update as it annoyingly enables itself each time.

  1. Open Origin then click on Origin > Preferences in the menu bar
  2. Click on Origin in-game on the right side 
  3. If Origin is enabled in-game the button will show green. Click on it to turn it off so it looks like the picture above.
  4. Right click on the game in your Games Library and select Game Properties. Uncheck the box next to Enable Origin In Game for The Sims 4.

Sims 4 Studio Candy Apple update 1.2.0.5

Sims4Studio have updated their Mac version so we can now batch fix the CC that broke after the 12th December patch. It’s still painfully slow to use but gets the job done.

If you use CC then download and install this to fix the objects that were broken. It’s quicker than downloading any updated CC from the creators.

Glass vase and jar CC not showing correctly in game

Published on by BluebellFlora2 Comments

Since the Cats & Dogs patches there have been various reports of some CC glass vases and jars not displaying properly in game:

So far I’ve only seen reports from Mac users but it may be affecting Windows users too. This is apparently happening because EA changed something glass related in the November patch. If you are experiencing this there is no fix at the moment that I know of. Either EA need to fix something or the CC creators do.
