This is long and most likely time consuming.. Sorry...but hopefully it'll be easy to understand and your game will work.
---Okay, so if your games were registered on your Sims account, you should be able to digitally download them from Origin (for free!) as long as you are logging into Origin with that same email address and password that you use for your Sims account. The easiest away to avoid the "disc authentication" error Mac Simmers get is to install the games via digtial download from Origin. You'll never have to use the discs. To install the Origin application on your Mac, use the link given in the FAQ of this post: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/644084.page
---Once you have Origin installed, click on the "My Games" tab. The games you had registered on your Sims account should appear here for installation. Install the base game first. Then use Mac SuperPatch to patch your base game manually. Here's the link the Mac SuperPatch with its instructions: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/549552.page
---Try your game out. If it works with the SuperPatch, then install Pets from the Origin application. After it finishes installing it might say something like "your base game is more recent than expected ..blah blah," but you can safely ignore this warning since you've already patched your game.
Let me know if anything goes wrong with something before you go on to the next step since they all need to work out. Good luck 🙂
