After installing Generations over late night expansion pack, I opened up the launcher to play the game.
The launcher is missing the heading, backdrop and most importantly, the Play Button.
I have un-installed all expansion and original and reinstalled all of them on PC and MAC.
I returned the game to EA games and received another copy, however the same problem is occurring.
It has been 2 months since I bought the game and I still haven't made it work. I have recently gotten rid of my PC, so my question is...
How can I play my Sims 3 Generations? Is their a bypass around the Launcher on MAC?
I have tried updating the game and looked at online forums with no prevail.

Did you move any user files over ?
Here's instructions for a clean reinstall on macs: http://bluebellflora.com/ts3-on-a-mac/how-to-do-a-clean-uninstall-and-reinstall-on-a-mac-2
Don't know how to bypass but there should be a file ts3w somewhere I would guess on macs too that you can start by double clicking.

Not sure for which version you were after, so I posted for all four.
The problem only occurs after the installation of Generations
Original Sims 3 - 1.21.123.011002
Sims 3 - Fast Lane - 5.0.44.008001
Sims 3 - Late Night - 6.0.81.009001
Sims 3 - Generations - 8.0.152.011001

I have a Screen Shot of the launcher but can't find anywhere on here to upload it.

You're not patched very far. 1.21 is your version. I think it didn't have a ts3w.exe back then. It would be just ts3.exe
I would try to patch the game though.
Find the manual patches for macs here: http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_Patching/Patch_Download_OSX
You need the super patch for Region 2.
Make sure to read the instructions.
Good Luck
