Can't play new game

So I put the sims3 and sims3pets on my mac with discs and they both worked fine and the launcher didn't have problems. Today, I downloaded origin for mac and bought sims3showtime through the downloaded origin app. However, I cant play it. The launcher opens when I click on showtime and pets but it opens only the pets game. The game still runs perfectly but showtime is nowhere to be found. Should I uninstall origin and then reinstall it? HALP!

    Did you download Showtime? it sounds like you didn't click on download and install.

    If when you hover over the "showtime" packfront do you see the button that says "play"?

    thanks

    I haven't experienced this on the mac yet.
    If you click on play in showtime it should open showtime, like it does on PC.

    I would try uninstalling and installing to see what happens.

    I just closed everything and opened the launcher again. It prompted me to download the update so maybe that was the problem. I'll post again after the game is updated

    nope, I updated everything but it still only plays pets. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling origin and still nothing.

    I bought a stuff pack this morning to see if it was origin but that downloaded perfectly and I can see it in my game. It still only shows pets though. I tried calling today but I just stuck on hold for about half an hour.

    Heyo,

    I talked to a few people and they cannot reproduce your problem, but they told me to try and uninstall Showtime and then reinstall.

    What should happen is the same as PC when you click on play on shwotime it should bring Showtime, not Pets.

    Thanks!

    I'll try that! I can't uninstall it on origin (or if you know how please let me know!) but I'll uninstall from my computer
