[MAC] OS X Yosemite and Sims 3 Installer

Hi

I am trying to install The Sims 3 base game via CD. However, every time it reaches the final step in the Installation window, the installer quits unexpectedly. Please help, thanks!

OS X Yosemite 10.10.1

iMac (21.5 inch, Mid 2011)

3.7 GHz Intel Core i5

4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

  • Try downloading it from origin. I got the Sim City 2000 to run like that!

    Do I have to pay again to download it from Origin? Pretty upsetting that I cannot even install something I paid money for when torrents are so accessible. 😕mileyfrustrated:

    I downloaded the base game using Origin and the 'Installer quit unexpectedly' window popped up again. However, after a few seconds, the game window does come up and I was able to play it without problem. There were tons of error windows when I exited though. Hopefully this method will work when I install the EPs as well. Thanks for the help!
