@ExoneratedTea Please move the entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop. When you open the launcher, a clean folder will spawn with no content. Don't add anything to it yet; just see whether you can get far enough to start a new save.
@puzzlezaddict Okay, I moved the folder to my desktop then launched it from Origin, now a new folder spawned but there is a few things in there.
@ExoneratedTea That's normal: the point is that the new folder contains newly generated files, not your old ones. Does the game work now?
@puzzlezaddict Glad to hear that is normal. On another note, still the launcher opens, but when i press play it goes to launch the game then nothing happens and then i get a error.
@ExoneratedTea Try adding Sims 3 and Origin to Full Disk Access. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy, click Full Disk Access, and add Sims 3 and Origin. You'll need to first click the lock in the lower left corner and enter your system password to allow changes. Then under Files and Folders, check all the boxes for Sims 3 and Origin as well, that is if you see any more options. (These keep changing with each OS and it's hard for me to keep everything straight.) Point is, allow the game and Origin everywhere you can find.
