I recently got a new laptop so I have reinstalled the sims 3 via origin, however when the game installed all the expansion packs seemed to be added on to the base game already and did not make me install and add on each separately. Im getting an error message when I launch the game so I think I may need to apply the fixes but the game icon is not showing in my applications folder on my mac? It shows on the launchpad so is there a way I can copy it across?

        Hey @millieee44 it's hard to make out the error message that you shared, is it a case that you need to update your base game to a more recent version?
