It's been in my origin library since 2014, haha. But yeah, I'm seeing people with errors who downloaded the game as well. Hopefully both of our issues will be fixed!

I've had Sims 3 in my Origin library since it launched in 2009. I have the same issue as @criisreverte

So has anyone who didn't have the game at launch gotten it since?

Sims 3 Won't Install - MAC

★★★ Newbie

I just bought the Sims 3 and to my disappointment, the game is unable to install. The message of "we've encountered a problem," keeps popping up. I read that with Mac's OS Catalina, the Sims 3 is unable to run properly. I also saw that there is supposed to be a new version of the game that runs on the new OS. Any updates on when that will happen?

Open Origin, select your Games Library, click on the Sims 3 then the Extra Content tab, and locate Ambitions. Next, click on the Download button and follow any prompts about the disk space it will use. Ambitions should start downloading. During the download process, the only option you should get in the orange button is to pause the download. You should also see a little window showing the download process: 

When it has finished downloading the orange button should change to Install, you should get a dialogue window with your product code to copy, and the external game installer should automatically open. If you’re reading this then probably none of those three things has happened and instead you’re seeing this:

  1. The Download button is still showing but the little window is showing that the download is complete.
  2. We now need to locate the game installer manually. In Origin, click on Origin > Preferences in the menu bar (next to the Apple icon, top left of your desktop). Now click on Installs & Saves in the Origin window, then Browse installers
  3. The DownloadCache Finder window will open and you will see the folder(s) containing the game installer(s): 
  4. Double click on the file ending in .dmg to open the installer (ignore the other file ending in .map). Your Mac will verify the installer:

@champion_hustler still haven't gotten it. I've asked EA Help twice why this might be and both times i've received copy and paste answers. 1st time they didn't even know there was an update scheduled for release and insisted the sims 3 will not run on 'any verison of Catalina', before I showed them the thread by MaxisJoe, then they were like 'oh yes, it's coming today'...like what? I asked them 10 hours later and all they can tell me is 'the team is working on it'...incredibly frustrating.

@jennynny Seems like i've gotten the exact same answers after first asking me "sorry i need more info i don't understand" Some people have spoken to 6 representatives and still got nothing whilst others get it on the first go so i'm assuming its really just luck of the draw. sigh
