@Akosantwi79 Your hardware is actually below the minimum requirement for the 64-bit version of Sims 3. That doesn't mean you necessarily can't play, just that performance may not be great, especially if you play with Pets (might not work at all) or Seasons (you might see crashes during inclement weather). It can help to play in windowed mode and on low settings.
@amycoLLiNs4518 For the Finalizing issue, try repairing the game in Origin: open your game library, right-click on the Sims 3 icon, and select Repair. If that doesn't help, run the Origin reset tool for macOS:

and repair again. If that doesn't help either, then hopefully a future Origin update will fix this—it may be related to the issue of packs being grayed out at the bottom of the launcher, which will need an Origin update to fix. We hope that will happen soon; it's already fixed in the "technical preview" (beta version).
Ok I will try that! I did play last night with my expansion packs on low settings and windowed mode and it worked perfect as well, I’m gonna play around with it to see when the freezing and the lagging starts.
