I recently purchased Late Night expansion but it won't install on my Mac. It stopped installing at 'Installing file 635 out of 686' and wouldn't move at all. I tried to uninstall Sims 3 and other expansion and reinstall it again but the problem doesn't go away. I tried to clear catch and still doesn't work. What should I do? Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi again,
Look in Preferences in the Origin client and find the game installers. Delete the files relating to TS3 Late Night. Log out of the client, then back in, then you may be able to start redownloading.
If your installation is stuck on file xxx out of xxx, you may also wish to read this EA help page: https://help.ea.com/article/sims-3-on-mac-installation-stuck-at-32-or-34-files-troubleshooting

Hi
Are you trying to install from discs or from digital downloads through Origin?

I have this problem, can you say the instructions more clearly or give me a link to somewhere that'll help?
