Launcher & ITF [MAC]
So I bought and installed Into The Future on Origin today. I had to patch my macbook as it originally wasn't showing up on the Launcher. Into The Future is the first game I've bought online, the re...

Your issues are caused by Intel Iris Graphics, TS3 have lots of issues with that chip because it's not officially supported. It doesn't care if it is Iris or Iris Pro, the game can't work properly with that graphic chip.
You can try this workaround to see if that helps.
If that doesn't help, you can also try bypassing the launcher. Here you can learn how to do it.

I'll try that, thank you. Although I still don't understand why the game was able to run with anything bar the standard Mac issues before I bought Into The Future, or if that was that just a fluke.
Does that have anything to do with the fact the Launcher won't start the game, or is that a separate issue?
Having looked through that thread, there's no fix for Intel Iris (just Intel Iris Pro) and I'm not sure I want to try and change files without knowing the changes needed for Intel Iris.
At this rate, I want a refund for ITF. I feel absoluely robbed and disheartened that EA are selling these games on the Origin Store without specifying they don't work with Intel Iris graphics cards/aren't able to be used on Macs especially as I only had the standard Mac issues when I was playing before ITF, and my game had mods, CC, downloaded content as well as Pets, Island Paradise, Supernatural, Late Night, Town Life, World Adventures, High End Loft Stuff, Fast Lane Stuff, Ambitions, Generations and University Life installed. No idea this problem occurred or I wouldn't have wasted £30 on ITF and would have put my money towards Sims 4 instead as it's so expensive.
You can totally try those steps with Intel Iris, you just need to take your devide ID like explained and edit the GraphicsCard.sgr file.
If you want to get a refund, please use EA Help Center.
