I've been playing my sims 3, with the late night expansion, through the discs on my Mac. For the holiday my brother bought me the Pets and Universtity Life through orgin. I downloaded them and am able to click "play" but nothing pops up. Help??

I just had the same problem I think. Try this:
1. Go to task manager (ctrl+alt+delete)
2. click the tab that says "Processes"
3. Under Image Name find Sims3Launcher
4. highlight and click "end process" in the bottom right.
5. relaunch sims!
It worked for me -- I hope it solves your problem! (I talked chatted with a game advisor.)
Happy New Years!

Can you open the Launcher? If so, are the dots at the bottom for Pets and Uni coloured in or still greyed-out? If you can't open the Launcher, go into Applications and look in the folder The Sims 3. In there you should see short-cut icons for the base game and any installed expansions. Are the Pets and Uni icons there? If not, the installation through Origin has failed and you may need to try again.

How can I re-install them then through orgin? The dots are not highlight under the launcher. :/
