epdependencies error on launcher

I'm trying to download some sims from the exchange and whenever I go to install them on my launcher, I get this error message: Sims3Launcher/String/kWarn_VerifyEPDependenciesFail:text

I saw another thread with this issue, but that person's issue seemed to be different from mine, as they were able to fix it by installing things one by one, which I tried, and doesn't work. I'm running the game on a macbook pro and have had no issues like this so far. Please let me know if there's a fix or anything I could try to resolve it; or if more information is needed. Thanks!

    @Racing_adh  Please link a couple of the items you can't download, and I'll try them on my own Mac.  Please also list the expansions and stuff packs you have installed.

    zara_rose98  I downloaded this lot on my Mac just now, with all my packs installed (everything except Katy Perry), and saw no errors.  So I removed all packs except Generations and Seasons and saw the same dependencies error.  However, I could still install the lot, and it loaded fine in my game.  There were of course some missing items, but nothing was obviously broken.

    I wanted to confirm which packs the lot requires in order to not show the error, and the list is EP01, 02, 03, 04, 07, 08, 09, 11; SP01, 02, 03, 05.  This is exactly the list you can see on the download page, under Expansion/Stuff Packs used.  So you can use that list as a guide when shopping for new content.

    Still, as I said, the lot itself will install and work without all those packs present.
