@Dominka22 Since it's been so long, it might be best to start with a clean uninstall, then reinstall the base game only, just to see whether it will work.

Be sure to run the Super Patch (digital download version) as well.

However, you mentioned you updated your OS. If you've now running Catalina, Sims 3 won't even install, let alone run, because the game is 32-bit and Catalina is 64-bit only. There's a 64-bit-compatible version of Sims 3 coming for macOS at some point, but it's not here yet.
Thank you, I will try it! If I uninstall and then reinstall again, do I need a new code for the game?
@Dominka22 Nope, you don't need another code. The game is tied to your Origin account, and you can download it onto the same computer as many times as you like, or even on several different computers if you want.
