Hey Dolls!

Here is the downloadable Stardoll game launcher that you can use to access Stardoll after Flash is no longer supported at the end of 2020. Please download and start using it immediately.

PC version (64 bit): https://ssl.sdcdn.com/launcher/installer.exe

Mac version: COMING SOON!

Step 1: Click the link or copy and paste it into a browser window and it should automatically download. Some internet browsers may warn you that it is not safe to download something from a website you don't trust. This is a normal pop-up and you can continue to download.

Step 2: You should see a button showing the download beginning to start in your browser’s downloads display.

Step 3: When the download is complete, it will alert you and the Stardoll star image will appear!

Step 4: Click on the completed download button. A pop up will appear asking if you want to allow the installer to make changes to your device. Click the Yes button.

Step 5: Once you have allowed this, your computer will confirm where the files should be stored. It should automatically suggest a location, and it is fine to click Install.

Step 6: Once you’ve clicked Install, it will quickly show the files downloading to your computer. Once that is complete, a pop up to Complete Stardoll Setup will show a checkmark (✓) next to ‘Run Stardoll.’ Click Finish.

It should automatically start the Stardoll Launcher.

Step 7: A popup will ask you to login with your Stardoll username and password.

Step 8: Once you sign in, you'll be taken to an image of StarPlaza!

Step 9: Click PLAY on the bottom right corner of the screen, and you'll enter Stardoll!

Step 10: The experience should be quite similar to how you play now. Be sure to accept cookies at the bottom of the screen!

Helpful Tip!: If you are looking for a ‘back’ button, hover your mouse toward the top left corner of the Stardoll Launcher and a ‘back’ arrow option will appear.

Once the Launcher is installed, there should be a new icon on your computer's desktop -- the Stardoll star, featuring a shortcut to the Launcher.

After you close the browser upon finishing playing Stardoll for the first time in the Launcher, you can use the shortcut icon on your desktop to get to Stardoll. Additionally, you can find the Stardoll Launcher in your Start Menu or by searching ‘Stardoll’ in your computer’s search bar.

However you choose to access the Stardoll Launcher, click it to open and proceed to Step 7.

Please start playing on Stardoll via this launcher immediately. Everyone who has it by January 1st will receive a fabulous prize by logging in during the first week of January! To celebrate the launcher, we are offering the following promo from now until January 7: buy a month of Superstar, get a month free!

FAQ

Q. Why do I need to download the Stardoll Launcher?

A. Stardoll was built using Adobe Flash technology over 15 years ago. Flash will no longer be supported after December 31, 2020, so you won’t be able to use your Suite or Beauty Parlor, shop for items, use StarDesign, send Broadcasts, attend Chat Parties, and more without it. The Launcher will enable you to continue playing on Stardoll as you normally would after Flash ends.

Q. My PC won’t install the 64 bit Launcher and I need a 32 bit version!

A. Right now, we have the 64 bit version available. If you have the 32 bit version of Windows, but have a 64 bit capable computer, you can uninstall and then reinstall the 64 bit version for free -- there are many tutorials on how to do this available online.

Q. I plan to use an internet browser that will continue to manage Flash even after 2020. Can I access Stardoll’s Flash-based content via this browser in 2021?

A. You should be able to, if the browser does what it says. As we cannot guarantee anything, you should still download the Stardoll Launcher to use in case your browser stops working with Flash.

Q. I have more than one account on Stardoll. Can I login to them using the Launcher?

A. Absolutely! Once you log out of one account, you are able to login to another.

Q. I don’t like how the Launcher works and think there should be new features!

A. Our first priority is offering our members a platform to continue playing Stardoll into 2021. Once we have accomplished this, then we can consider tweaking and upgrading the Launcher.
