@aodoherty A lot of the troubleshooting is either the same in both OSs or has the same underlying concept. The clean user folder is still the place to start: let the game create a new Sims 3 folder, see if the game works with no added content, add back your stuff a little at a time, etc.
If you can't play even in a clean user folder, please make sure iCloud isn't set to automatically sync the contents of Documents. This guide is for a different issue, but the relevant settings are the same:

@puzzlezaddictMerry Christmas! 🙂
I shut down Mac last night and turned it back on. Now it's working..? I don't know why..?(tilt...) Thanks! :D
@aodoherty Hey, no complaints, especially given how finicky Sims 3 can be. And Merry Christmas to you too. It's a few more minutes before we officially hit the 25th, but close enough.
@puzzlezaddictI found there's no Mac version of EA desktop yet. And I decided to give up to play the sims 3 on Mac mini. Luckily, I got this Mac mini as a Christmas present. So I still have option to do.
Play the sims 3 on previous I Mac but actually the graphics card is pretty old, and play the sims 4 on this Mac mini. There's no problem to play the sims 4 on this machine.
Getting my new own PC instead of Mac for the new year present myself. I can get only hardware. I have a monitor. I still have your pc advice tip and it will be great help to buy a new one. 🙂
The 3rd option is just going to say bye bye to the sims 3 until EA makes a new patch it can be work without intel base and play the sims 4.
My husband said that the sims 3 works on only Intel base but this Mac mini doesn't have intel. He tried parallel and crossover all but he couldn't make it work. Thank you for caring my issue. 🙂 I always appreciate you.
