Are you by any chance running El Capitan or Sierra? The Sims 3 really doesn't play well in those versions of macOS.

 

Which Expansion and Stuff Packs do you have installed?

Possibly but we can try something else. Have you applied the correct patch for the digital version of the game?

Ok. As the game is not actually supported in El Capitan or Sierra there is no guarantee it will work. You could try properly uninstalling and then reinstalling again but honestly, I think your version of macOS is the issue.

 

When you referred to Sims 1 expansion packs in your previous post was that a completely separate issue?

The Sims 1 will not play on any Mac running OS X Snow Leopard 10.6 or later. Your only option would be to Boot Camp your Mac and play the PC version in Windows Frown
