The Sims 3

★★★ Newbie

I just got The Sims 3 every time I go on to it and press play it crashes, or it says the game is in play which it cant be because I have not actually made it on to the game yet, how do I fix it and actually use the game?

Is your Mac one of the ones listed in this thread - http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/CURRENT-ISSUE-The-Sims-3-Issues-playing-on-newer-post-2013-Mac...

 

If so, please follow the links to edit your graphics files. If not, what model Mac do you have?

There's no guarantee that it will unfortunately. It quite often works with the base game but then adding in certain EPs can break it again. It appears that Macs with Broadwell processors are especially affected.

You can use Activity Monitor to quit the processes but it will probably keep happening every time you try and load the game - https://bluebellflora.com/cannot-start-the-process-when-the-game-is-running-sims-3-error-on-mac/
