Thanks for your help, however I am still not sure what i have to do to get it working.
The hovering thing you mentioned doesnt seem to work but i clicked on the link for checking which patch version you're running and it gave me the number I mentioned in the above message.
What should I do now?
You'll need to update your game but I'm not quite sure as you're on a MAC. Give me a sec - I want to see if I can find the link to the old 1.48 patch which would work for you.
Alrighty. I'm rather nervous about this, so I do advise waiting for someone else. Here is the link to the super patch which would take you to patch 1.48: http://simsvip.com/2013/01/22/sims-3-game-update-1-48-12213/
The reason why I'm nervous is because it doesn't specifically mention anything about macs.
It's really your choice - sorry. I'll see if I can find someone else to help you
Hope everthing works out and sorry
what would it do if it was wrong??
Also sounds like such a stupid question but when I download it where do i put the downloaded item?? and how will i know if its worked or not?
also which one would i download super patch or the other one?
The super patch definitely. I don't know what would happen, that's why I'm worried, nothing would happen to your mac though maybe just the game. If you want to take the risk, make sure you make a backup copy of your Sims 3 file.
Once you download it (if you do), it'll pop up somewhere (for me it's called downloads and I tend to find it in the My Documents - keep in mind, I'm working on a PC here) you then just double - click and it installs.
Please, if you do go ahead with it and something happens, don't blame me. I did warn you
