I have a new macbook that generally runs TS3+Ambitions like a charm; when issues come up, they're invariably my fault. I know that this post is kind of long. I'm just trying to be thorough so that p...

@igazor @TreyNutz Well, this has been fun.
This evening, I used my brother's PC to log into Steam (he created a new user account, as suggested) and there were all of my new CD keys. Just like that. I didn't need to install anything. Which was just as well—I think he would have had a hard time watching an EA product pollute his precious PC. I took my codes and ran to the Sims 3 Store on my own computer to register a few of them, just to make sure they were working properly, and now I have my two new SPs installed through Origin, with WA waiting until I'm ready for it. Which should be any day now, really, I swear.
Speaking of not being ready. You convinced me a long time ago on an intellectual level that Bootcamp is the best answer, but when it comes to actual implementation, my stubbornness keeps reasserting itself. I don't like change, and I'm full of resentments, not the least of which is the compromised way TS3 was made playable on a mac. I'm the type who would spend hours and hours fixing a product that I'm not even particularly attached to instead of spending $20 and a ten-minute run to the store for a replacement. Having said that, I did actually buy Seasons during the Steam sale, even though I know I'll never be able to run it properly until Cider is out of the way. So on some level, I am making progress. Really. I swear.

Or...(looks to the left nervously, then to the right, thinks about it for a minute, and finally blurts out) Bootcamp!
