I tried putting the custom content back in small chunks as you suggested. I managed to put 420 back and the sims worked fine, i have about 1,306 overall. Anything i was adding after was preventing the sims from launching. I have spent all day trying to figure out which custom contgent was preventing my sims from launching. In the end i have just given up with Sims completely on my mac, I will have to try and buy a new computer or something because I really enjoy playing the Sims but this is just rediculous. Macs suck at the end of he day and i don't recommend them to anyone. Thanks for your help, i guess this is just one of those problems with no solutions. If by any chance you are confident on how to reslove this issue feel free to comment i will definitley love to hear them still!

Hi again
Sorry to hear you are still having trouble. Obviously I cannot agree with you about Macs - I love my Mac and have no problem running TS3 on it. However I think the difference is that I have only a tiny amount of CC.
The problem that you may face is that if among your CC is there is a dodgy item causing the game to stall then this could happen even on a PC. It may not be a Mac-specific issue. If you have a copy of Windows you could consider using Bootcamp to partition your Mac's harddrive and install Windows on it. You can then install the game there and play it (and test your CC) without buying a whole new computer. There is a bit more information here:

Good luck with whatever you decide. I hope that eventually you get your game working!
