Game Updates button not appearing on launcher

I've bought a set of outfits for Sims 3 but the store is telling me the game is out-of-date and can't download or upload anything, and that I need to update my game.  The "Updates" button is not appearing on the game launcher, and I'm having trouble finding a link to whatever the most recent update is.  I'm using a Mac.  Could somebody point me in the right direction, here?

  • @Pricklegoose  What game version do you see in the lower-left corner of the launcher?  A fully-updated 32-bit version would list 1.67.etc.; the 64-bit version would list 1.70 and be updated in any case.

    Please also link the items you're trying to install, and post a screenshot of the error you see when you try to do so.

    Thanks for the reply!  The version on the launcher is 1.70, which I guess explains the lack of an "Updates" button.  I tried to install the items again and the launcher installed them, but crashed right afterwards.  I reopened it and checked my game, and they're all there.  Yay!  So I tried downloading a few more things, and this time everything worked properly.  I think it may have just been feeling glitchy that day.  Anyway, I appreciate you coming to help me out with this.  Thank you very much!
