Re: sims 3 64 bits not working

@maryamm7221  Please make sure you're deleting the correct Version.tag file, not a copy in iCloud.  Open a Finder window and click Macintosh HD in the left panel, then open Users > your username > Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3.  If you don't see Macintosh HD, click Finder in the upper-left corner of the screen and select Preferences > Sidebar, then check the box next to hard disks.

If this doesn't help, please let me know whether there's a Sims 3 folder at all in the file path above, and if there is, move it to the desktop (or just rename it) and try to play again.

    @maryamm7221  Maybe you already know this, but just to clarify, any file that ends in .package needs to go into Mods > Packages, and any Sims3Pack needs to go into Downloads, both inside the Sims 3 folder.  The resource.cfg file needs to go directly inside Mods.  Additionally, you need to delete the cache files in the same folder whenever you add or remove content.  For reference, these files are:

    • CASPartCache.package
    • compositorCache.package
    • scriptCache.package
    • simCompositorCache.package
    • socialCache.package

    If this doesn't help, try the framework and two sample mods provided here:
