I just downloaded the sims 3 64-bit base game and the expansion packs that I already owned but when I opened the launcher and clicked play I received an error message (attached below). Do expansion packs work with the 64 bit base game? Do I have to buy them all again? I've tried repairing and updating the game but that didn't help. I also tried chatting with support but they were no help. I am playing on MAC OS Catalina 10.15.4
