Hey there,
There hasn't been a proper fix for this issue, but I still have a few steps that may be in help of you:
1. Go to the Disk Utility and verify your disk permissions and disk. If the Disk Utility finds any problem with your disk permissionss, then click "Repair Disk Permissions". If there is something wrong with your disk, shut down your computer, and turn on your computer using Recovery HD. To do that, while your computer starts up, hold Command+D keys on your keyboard. The Disk Utility will show up and there repair you disk (once again, if there's something wrong with the disk itself.)
2. Sorry to say this, but you may need to uninstall The Sims 3 and its expansions (in your case you don't have any expansions) from your Mac. Yes, it doesn't sound nice at all, but it may resolve your issues. Again, it MAY or MAY NOT. You take the risk.
ALSO, looking at yout graphics card, I have to say that Intel HD 4000 is NOT the proper graphics card to play the game with. In fact, it is a chipset, not a card at all! Everything but your graphics card seems OK to me, and that may (or may not) be the problem.
These are all the solutions I can think of right now. If you encounter any problems, have questions about the steps or if the steps work, please let me know.
Good Luck
