EA game won't install on my MAC

I purchased the Sims 3 starter pack and once it downloaded I went to install it on my Mac and it keeps popping up an error report. I've restarted my computer many times and it still comes up with the same error report.

Re: EA game won't install on my MAC

@chloesingle  Does your Mac run Catalina?  If so, that's the issue: Sims 3 is a 32-bit app, and Catalina is 64-bit only.  There's no way to make the game run in its current iteration.  However, EA has announced a 64-bit version of Sims 3 for macOS, to be released (hopefully) some time this year.

If your Mac doesn't run Catalina, please post a screenshot of the error you're seeing.
