the sims 3 Error: 327682:0

[ponx82]

So after spending a bunch of time downloading the sims  3, i go to click install and  I get  the error "Error: 327682:0".  I am on  MacOS  Catalina, no  mods, no nothing since it's not even downloaded. I tried everything in the other threads to no  avail. I've allowed  it through my firewall and anti-virus.   Any thoughts?

@ponx82  Unfortunately, Sims 3 won't run in Catalina.  The game is a 32-bit app, and Catalina is 64-bit only.  EA has announced that a 64-bit-compatible version of TS3 will be released in early 2020:

But until then, your only option is to play in another operating system.  Aside from using a different computer, you could install Windows on your Mac via Bootcamp or a virtual machine, or you could install macOS Mojave on an external hard drive.  Bluebellflora goes into more detail about the various approaches here:
