@puzzlezaddict Thanks so much for the help!
I got the base game launcher to work, and then the High-end Loft Stuff Pack by following the "alias" steps in the third link you provided, but when I try to repeat the same steps for Supernatural, I keep getting the error.
I tried following the accepted solution provided here, but my "thumbnail" when I try to launch the game is Supernatural, which obviously already has the Supernatural folder in it, so I don't really know where I'm supposed to go from here.
@HannahLynn98 That's strange that Supernatural would be throwing the error; it isn't one of the packs that's affected. (And you shouldn't have to make an alias for either it or HELS; the install process is supposed to take care of that.) What other packs have you installed so far this time around? Have you uninstalled any since the clean uninstall?

Nope, I just downloaded them on Origin - no install yet aside from the two mentioned.

@HannahLynn98 Neither pack should need any workarounds; they're both supposed to install correctly. So it's strange that you're getting an unknown error again. Try restarting your computer and then launching TS3 directly from Applications, without opening Origin at all. If that doesn't help, try bypassing the launcher. Here's how:

If that doesn't help, do another clean uninstall, and then create a new user account (make it an admin) and install the game there instead. Again, install only the base game, then run the Super Patch, and test. If it works, you can install HELS and Supernatural and test again, without applying any workarounds.

@puzzlezaddict Got it to work with those two packs, but after installing pets, I'm getting the error again with the Supernatural thumbnail.
