@katiebarton14 If you're seeing the "no disc found" error, you simply need to uninstall your newest pack by the date EA released it and then reinstall that pack through Origin. If you're still getting an unknown error, please let me know which packs you've already installed, and which you want to install but haven't yet.

@katiebarton14 I need to know which expansion and stuff packs you have already installed, or else I can't help you. Please list all of them.

@katiebarton14 If you don't know which packs you've installed, it's easier to start from the beginning. Please do a clean uninstall of Sims 3, as described here:
https://bluebellflora.com/how-to-do-a-clean-uninstall-and-reinstall-on-a-mac/
Download the game from Origin, the base game only (no packs). Each pack installs separately and asks for a product key, so if you only go through the install process once, you'll know you've only installed the base game. When it's installed, run the Super Patch (digital download version), which you can find here:
https://bluebellflora.com/sims-3-manual-super-patch-for-mac-1-67/
Running it means downloading it, double-clicking on it, directing it to the Sims 3 base game, and letting it run for a few minutes. It'll let you know when it's done.
Once you've run the Super Patch, please try to launch the game and let me know whether it works. If it does, please list all the expansion and stuff packs you want to install, but don't install any of them yet. Some packs require extra steps to get installed properly.
