I recently downloaded sims 3 onto my mac through origin. Every time I go to open it, the launcher comes up, i press play, and then nothing happens. I tried opening it through origin but when I press play it just opens up the origin application again. I have looked at many threads with similar problems but nothing has worked. I have two expansion packs if that makes a difference.
Solved! Go to Solution.
