Anomalies:
A) While removing TS3 completely to delete it from my mac and redo Origin after it's little freak out, I found something inexplicable - a file in preferences "com.transgaming.tginstall-sims3-bg-ep08.plist" created "Today, 12:59 PM" right around this morning when I was trying one more time to clean uninstall/reinstall but I never got past the base game and didn't allow Origin to download any EPs (although it did try to while I was disable the updates). I already had deleted some files so I couldn't test removing this one file to see if it was mucking my Sims game but did try one last uninstall and reinstall or both origin and TS3.
B) And after running the launcher I noticed - it already had me logging in to the TS3 store (or whatever we log into in that launcher). I ran the game, it didn't work but now I feel there had to be some folder left behind something that saved my login into the launcher data and maybe having more data possibly connected to whatever is messing up my game but I don't know where this file would be. I've been very attentive to removing all the files and after the first anomaly, I've watching the files in my library to see if anything out-of-place would spawn like that 'ep08' file. So I don't think I left anything behind in the Preference, Caches, Cookies, or Saved Application State. and I had removed Origin completely to so it wouldn't have been hidden and left over from previous download.
I'm still as a loss as before again on the off chance this information leads to some revelation I'm all for posting it. I might try playing TS4 or using Sims base game CD for a while before retrying TS3 or looking into BootCamp.
