My Sims 3 won't start, black screen after launcher. [ Edited ]

[vnsvilla]

My Sims 3 won't start after I click play on the launcher, it stays on a black screen.

I removed everything and re-downloaded the game base and it worked even when switching the screen to better quality. 

Then I added an expansion and the same problem started again.

I don't know what else to do.  Please help.

I am using a Mac with graphics: Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536 MB and currently running macOS sierra.

Also I am downloaded everything via the discs, I didn't used Origin.
