You still need to be patched up to 1.67. When you uninstalled did you cleanly uninstall and go into the hidden folders to get rid of all residual files? Or did you just use the Uninstaller?

i just patched up to 1.67 and updated it all, and yes i followed your instructions on the sims forum and trashed all hidden files, the error still occurs @Bluebellflora

Your Mac is one of the really problematic ones which I think is down to it's Broadwell processor. The 15" don't seem to suffer so much and they have Haswell processors. So whilst this issue is primarily about graphics cards, mainly Intel Iris and Intel HD 6xxx, the CPUs also seem to be an issue.
Boot Camping is always an option, the game does run so much better in Windows. Have you checked that your Intel graphics are supported? You don't want to go to all that trouble and then find it's still unplayable

I've moved your post to this thread specifically related to your issue. Please read the opening post AND the solution which is the second post in the thread. Try the solution first which involves updating Origin using the posted link.

Hi!
So when I went to install the super patch, it seems that I already have the 1.67.2 regional code that it was trying to upgrade me to. I took the sims 3 folder so I only had BG and EPs installed, but the game still did the same as before. Any suggestions?
