os x el capitan and the sims 3[Mac]
I've recently upgraded my mac to OS X El Capitan, and I seem to be having problems with my Sims 3 game. Origin logs on normally, at least to me it seems, and it seems to load the game properly until ...

^^ Sorry, but that fix does not work. I had exactly the same issue as the player above. I played the game yesterday morning perfectly fine with no issues (as I have for last many years). Yesterday afternoon I updated to OS El Capitan, today I tried to play the game and had the issue as mentioned above.
I re installed and now the game won't even open at ALL, let alone get to the choice selection! If I double click the icon, it opens in my task bar at the bottom, but does nothing. I have forced quit, restarted and even re downloaded and overlaid origin, but nothing has worked.
So nope, re installing the game doesn't solve this.
I am running sims 3 and the expansion pack Outside Living. I logged onto the website and it has history of my sims 4 purchase, which I never play, but I would have to spend £29 to download the full game if sims 3 rather than use a disk. Surely this could be got around by entering my game code from the box?
I don't want to pay for the game all over again, and I will have lost my entire household with generations and generations of sims. Very sad times!
I only bought a disc player for my mac to play sims3 too!! Frustrating!!
Yes, you can enter your product code from the disc version and get the digital version at no extra cost.
When you uninstalled did you get rid of all the hidden files? Or just use the uninstaller?
