Does anyone else find this annoying? I keep forgetting about it and do my usual double-click the icon then go do something else for 5 mons whilst the game loads. Today, I loaded-went away, but got doing something else and a half hour later thought, oh well, at least its fully loaded, but nooo, that stupid pop-up was there, so I had to hit play game and wait all over again! Gaah!

Change the target for the shortcut to "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Bon Voyage\TSBin\Sims2EP6.exe"

Have you try the solution from Ancient Foxy ? If it's a shortcut with "Sims2EP6" and not "Sims2Launcher" it's done. Wink

Okay I'm not very good with comps. So could someone  with vista tell me how to  make this new shortcut? If not is there a patch or something I could use to get the same outcome? If so could someone please put a link here? Cheesy

Step by step directions to do it easily

Delete the shortcut from your desktop
click start look for My computer click it
 Open My Computer/ C drive /Program Files
 Go to  EA Games\The Sims 2 Bon Voyage\TSBin
 Right-click on Sims2EP6.exe
 Select "Send to... Desktop (Create Shortcut)

It is the same with Vista as long as you installed on C Drive.
