@caitlinz201 do you happen to play on Mac?

 

If not try the repair tool on Origin (right click in game library and select repair).

 

If that doesn't work try clearing the cache:

We have a whole thread dedicated to a very specific Unknown Error issue caused by El Capitan/Sierra in the Sims Mac forum. which I'm moving this thread to. Please read the opening post and the second post which is the accepted solution. Post in this thread if you need any further help but if you follow the instructions properly you should be fine Standard smile

 

This is not an Origin issue as Origin is not required to play the Sims 3 for Mac, only to download the digital version.

@leahbaby123 I got it to work after I uninstalled late night. Kinda annoyed because obviously I've paid for it and it doesn't work. If you right click on the sims 3 launch icon, then go to open in folder there should be a program to uninstall. Then you can uninstall just late night. Let me know if you figure out how to get it working? 🙏🏼

I have bought sims 3 starter pack a few months ago. I downloaded the base game which worked perfectly. However, when I downloaded the late night expansion pack and installed it, it told me unknown error occurred.
Anybody have any idea on how to solve it, would be much appreciated.

My Computer is a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) with the macOS Sierra version:10.12.5
