Sims 2 - How to play window mode?

I have the double deluxe version (along with quite a few expansion packs), I've searched how to play in it in window mode instead of full screen on Google, but I've only found that you should right click the program>properties>add a -w to it. The problem is that the Double Deluxe version doesn't instantly run the Sims game, but a launcher, and from there you can launch the actual game. So if I add the " -w" to the shortcut, it just puts the launcher in windowed mode and not the actual Sims 2 game. Could anyone help with this?

    Hmm, I have free time and that has a launcher, too, and my windowed mode works fine.

    Try these:

    Make sure you're doing this on the shortcut. It should be on your desktop.

    Make sure that the "-w" is outside the quotation marks, and with a space before it.

    Here's mine as an example:

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 FreeTime\TSBin\Sims2Launcher.exe" -w
