    Yes, I downloaded them digitally through Origin. Last time I was able to geton my Launcher, they weren't grayed out. Yeah, I'm up to date and I'm not really sure how much RAm my Mac has... 😕mileytongue: I don't have any CC or Mods in currently (I removed them so i could see if they were the problem a while ago). I didn't realize there was a Mac help thread! Thank you, I'll get back to you if it works!

    To find out how much RAM your Mac has, click on the little Apple logo at the top left hand corner of the screen and choose "About This Mac". The RAM is the number of GB of "memory" listed on the window that appears.

    I think that there are two possibilities. Either the installation from Origin was corrupted or failed somehow (that does happen sometimes), or else adding the extra expansions was successful but the game is now using too much RAM for your game to cope.

    See if any of the tips in the main Mac help thread help you. If not post again and let me know what you tried.

I'm having issues with the launcher, I've been trying to figure out how to bypass it but there is no sims app in my applications, its a folder in my documents. Someone please help, I really dont know what to do ☹️

The Sims 3 folder in your Documents folder is your user data (saves/CC etc.). There should be a Sims 3 folder in your Applications folder which contains the app and any EPs/SPs you have installed.

    Yes I figured that out, I found the info list and typed in the TS3W in place of S3 launcher and I had the same results. I've uninstalled the game currently I'm redownloading it again right now. Everytime I launch the game it freezes on the Blue screen with the green diamond thing in the middle. I need more suggestions/ tips, I've read all the help forums so far nothing is working for me. I really really appreciate any advice I can get
