Please help! I've gotten Error: 327682:0 over and over again while trying to install Sims 3 on mac. I've made sure I'm an admin, turned off firewalls, uninstalled origin "the hard way", restarted my computer 3000 times, and made sure my computer was fully up to date. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG??

@mlksims  Does your Mac run Catalina?  If so, that's the problem: Sims 3 is a 32-bit app, and Catalina is 64-bit only.  There's no way around this issue.  But EA has announced a 64-bit-compatible version of TS3, to be released some time in early 2020.  Here's the post:

In the mean time, your only options are to play on a different computer, or to install another operating system on your Mac (i.e. Windows via Bootcamp or Parallels).  If you've only just bought the game, and you'd prefer not to wait for the 64-bit update, you can request a refund.
