    I think I actually figured it out! When browsing for the location to place the install, I clicked the bar at the top of the window that said mstanford (my name), and from the drop down I chose Macintosh HD instead. I had to choose the hard drive like I always do, but this time I had to choose it through browsing. Weird stuff.

    If your Mac hard drive is automatically selected, can you not just continue with the installation? Is the button to continue greyed-out or do you get an error message?

    Are you sure you have the base game installed correctly? If so, you should find it inside a folder called "The Sims 3" in Applications on your Mac. If it isn't there then you probably haven't installed the base game in the right place and this is why you are having trouble installing expansions.

    If you continue to have trouble please start a thread of your own, as this one is marked as solved.
