After updating my Mac to macOS Tahoe 26.2, the The Sims 3 Launcher stopped working correctly.
The launcher crashes every time I click on Downloads or Installed Content. The game itself will launch and run normally only if I don’t click on those sections or try to install/uninstall any content.
Because of this, I completely uninstalled The Sims 3. However, I still can’t play my saved game because it requires a custom world that I now can’t install.
I contacted EA Support again, and an agent updated my account to include the 64-bit Mac version of The Sims 3. I then:
The problem is that in my EA Library, only “The Sims 3 (Standard Version)” appears. The 64-bit Mac version does not show up at all.
EA agents have told me to wait a few days and that the 64-bit version might appear in my library, but for now I’m completely stuck and unable to play.
Has anyone else experienced this after updating to macOS Tahoe, or found a solution to make the 64-bit version appear in the EA App?
DOWNLOADS UPDATE:
I still can’t open the Downloads / Installed Content sections directly from the Sims 3 Launcher.
BUT I found a workaround that at least lets you keep playing and download new content.
Workaround:
Opening the launcher this way allows the Downloads tab to work, so you can install new worlds and other Sims3Pack content.
Important:
You still won’t be able to uninstall content from the launcher, but this workaround lets you continue playing and adding new content.
Hope this helps others until the issue is fixed.
