No I haven't :/
But I just called help.ea.com and they told me it's because my new Mac runs Yosemite and Sims 3 doesn't work with Yosemite.
Do you know if thats true?
It does work with Yosemite however, if you have the 13" MacBook Pro with the integrated Intel Iris graphics then I'm afraid it won't work:
The Sims 3 is not compatible on Macs which only have integrated Intel Iris graphics. If you would like to play the game on your Mac with these graphics you have to edit the GraphicsCards.sgr and GraphicsRules.sgr files. Instructions can be found here. Whilst this fix is working for some, unfortunately it doesn't seem to work for everyone.
It's quite amusing that they told you it won't work with Yosemite when it states in the system requirements it needs OS X 10.5.7 or later. Give the workaround a try, it's worth a go 🙂

I know right!
The problem only is that I have to get it on my Mac first which I can't ☹️

You should get in touch with EA about the product code issue, hopefully they may issue you with another or merge your accounts if you've set up more than one 🙂- Anonymous11 years ago
I finally called them again and now I got the game on my Mac. 🙂
I tried to run the game and it wont work. I tried to follow through you link and did as was told but that doesnt work either :/
It will only open up and then freeze and I cant do anything.
