An Apple Genius helped me transfer all my documents, but I imagine my Sims 3 folder has to be moved and renamed. Can I rename it and keep it elsewhere in my Documents file, or do I need to remove it from Documents completely? I found all the serial numbers, thanks to BluebellFlora’s instructions. I guess I need to download Origin for Mac, download the games, and then add Saves, etc. back in and employ the fix for the expansion packs that need it.
