It's the second post on this thread, the Accepted Solution. You can also find it two posts above your original one here. Please look at it and try the Origin download linked. Let us know how you get on Standard smile

After "installing" the update My game glitches the gam itself takes longer to load. the UI is Fine in Live mode. But the Live mode is just not usable at all.

- Did you download Origin through the Origin website or did you download it from the link @EA_Zoe provided?

 

- Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game since updating Origin?

Hi everyone,

 

We would like to invite players who are experiencing issues with running The Sims 3 on recent Mac models to download and install this version of Origin:

https://eaassets-a.akamaihd.net/Origin-Client-Download/origin/forum/34349/Origin.dmg

 

 

This should help with compatibility and stability issues.

 

If you are still unable to launch or play the game after that, please come back to us.

 

 

 

have just done complete uninstall and reinstalled with this new origin installer. when i opened the launcher It asked me if i wanted to update and i clicked later, when i clicked play it crashed and gave the same error as last time, thaat the sims 3 unexpectedly quit. ( it may work if i restart now and update? ) 

I am on a Mac book pro retina 13" early 2015 model running yosemite, with the intel iris 6100 graphics card. I had the issue that the game would not run past the green start up icon and then if you quit it says the game is still open! 

I have been searching around, and  you can play if you partition your harddrive with bootcamp and run the game on windows. There is no other solution for this issue.
