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.

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.

Running 10.7.5 Lion or 10.8.5 Mountain Lion? Please read this…

Origin now requires 10.9 Mavericks or later to run on a Mac. The Sims 4 requires 10.7.5 Lion or later. The Sims 4 will not run without Origin so technically the Sims 4 will now not run on a Mac unless it is using 10.9 or later. If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion then please take a moment to post in this thread over on the official forums.

Thanks 🙂
