The technology used by EA to make Sims 3 Mac compatible, Cider, is now owned by NVIDIA who appear to have shelved it. EA also outsourced the development using Cider to a 3rd party. It really isn’t very likely, or even possible, that the Mac version could now be updated for 64-bit.
However, I am just speculating based on current levels of support and historical development of the game

Try updating your OS to the current version of Mojave which is the final release now. Sims 3, if you had it running previously, and Sims 4 run fine. Have tested both games and they run great.
i have the exact same mac and graphics and i only had the base game installed and i could run it only once, second time i tried to play the game it said unknown error 
it makes me super sad idk what to do
