@millieee44 It sounds like you're looking in one of the Applications folders: that's where the Sims 3.app and Sims 3 Packs folder should be. If these are in fact somewhere inside Documents, please let me know; you can see the file path by right-clicking on either one and selecting Get Info.
If these are in fact in Applications where they should be, you can search for Version.tag directly. It won't show up in a Spotlight search, but Terminal will find it. Open Applications > Utilities, launch Terminal, and copy and paste this:
find / -name "Version.tag" 2>/dev/null
You can check the location(s) it spits out, or if you're not sure what you're looking at, please post the results. It's fine to write [username] instead of your actual username, but please leave the rest of the file path intact.
Hi
Thanks so much for that! I have just done the search on terminal and these are the results, not too sure what I am looking at where do I go from here?
Thanks 🙂
@millieee44 Open a Finder window and click Macintosh HD, or whatever you've renamed your hard disk, in the left panel. (If you don't see it, click Finder in the upper left corner of your screen, then Preferences > Sidebar, and check the box next to hard disks.) Then open Users > your username > Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3, and delete Version.tag, which Terminal says is present.
In the future, when taking a screenshot, please use cmd-shift-4 and drag your cursor over the section of screen you want to capture. The screenshot will land on your desktop, and you can attach it to a post from there. It's a lot easier to read one of those than a photo from your phone.
