@smythesbooms For the issue installing content through the launcher, please see the first post of this thread:
For the game itself, please move the entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, then see whether you can play. When you open the launcher, a clean folder will spawn with no content; don't add anything to it yet. Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you moved and can be restored later, but please leave those files where they are for now.
Sims 3 absolutely does run on 64-bit-only Macs. I don't know why the product page says what it does, but it's incorrect and not the cause of your issues.
@puzzlezaddict I appreciate the link but the fix for "Error Downloading Content {0} or critical system failure" has details of fixes for Origin which unfortunately is not relevant to the new EA App
@smythesbooms You can use the App Recovery tool to accomplish the same thing as the Origin reset tool; I believe it's under the Help menu but don't have the Mac version in front of me at the moment. Let me know if you need help finding it. And you can repair Sims 3 under the Manage menu. If that doesn't help, use this guide to clear out the old Origin files manually:

then repeat the above.
Hello again, I tried the "repair" as I was unable to find the EA App cleaner. I remember the Origin one worked great as a fix for basically any problems but I can't see it. If you could look it up on yours that would be fab! Thank you! 🙂
