Well i was going to do it over a voice chat program but ill do my best to do it in text.

 

Start finder

Press: shift cmd c   at the same time

click: Macintosh HD

click: Library

click: Application Support

click the drop down for origin

 

i only had the sims on my origin so i draged the orign folder to the bin for a fresh start but i believe that you could just drag The Sim 3 stuff and anything with the sims in the name, as i found the problem is the digital download and if you stop start the download it will  crash the installer and get stuck. So redownload with no stops or pauseing that was the soultion that worked for me. hope this helped.

So then the solution is manually uninstalling Origin from your Mac.  

Directions for that are here: https://help.ea.com/article/how-do-i-manually-remove-a-game-from-my-games-on-origin-using-mac

I think its to do with the download, if you pause it or stop it in anyway the install wont work.
