MacBook air an unknown error has occurred sims 3

Hello I noticed that you all are very helpful and I was wondering if anyone could help me with my issue. I have gone to 6 different EA advisors and all of them kept telling me to uninstall origin as well as sims 3 which I did along with all the sims 3 files then reinstall the game. I have done this multiple times and it hasn't solved anything, I am constantly getting the pop up "Sims 3 Unresolved Error." I have searched every forum for a solution and could not find any. I used to use CC no mods and I have the expansions University Life, Island Paradise, Supernatural, Seasons, Into the Future, Supernatural, Late Night, High end Loft Stuff,and Pets.

 

My software is: MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015) Processor:  1.6 GHz Intel Core i5 Graphics: Intel HD Graphics

 

I downloaded the game off origin a few years ago, I have removed all the sims files, tried a clean uninstall, reset origin, removed cache, removed CC, essentially everything I had read from forums.

I saw that thread earlier along with how to manually uninstall, reset origin, clean uninstall, and get the super patch nothing is working

There are quite a few ways the one I currently used was just reinstall everything except for Late Night that's how I got it to stop the unknown error. I know it sucks because you've paid for the game and ea won't give a refund but that is the only current solution there is.

If followed correctly the Unknown Error fix that @EA_Mai linked to is a 100% fix for that particular issue. However, the other problem you are encountering is that your Mac's Intel HD 6000 graphics are not supported in the game. Perhaps editing the .sgr files as per this stickied thread may help - http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/Mac-Issues-playing-on-newer-post-2013-Macs/m-p/4935394
