There has got to be an easier way to uninstall / solve this issue??????
I have been looking on the forums and this is an issue that has been happening for 4-5 years, and still no solution from EA. So people in 2014 are buying this game with a 5 yr old problem!! It's a disgrace.
My MacBook Air has 8GB RAM.
Hi
So you have no TS3 files on your Mac hard drive in Applications? How odd.
Look in Preferences in Origin and delete any TS3-related files you find. That should allow you to recommence downloading from Origin. But first make sure you have removed the files from your Mac (if there are any).

- uninstalled The Sims 3, High Tech EP, Late Night EP.
- deleted all the things as advised in Library/Cache
- downloaded master update
- installed everything again in order of release date
What other avenues do I need to try?
I am so annoyed this 5 year old problem has never been properly addressed and we have to go in to hidden folders on our laptops to fix it. Absolute shambles. EA should be ashamed.

Right,
I'm back to square one. Everything uninstalled, all data deleted.
New question, then.
How do I get Sims 3 plus both High-End Loft EP and Late Night EP all working correctly?
Cheers.

OK, so you have uninstalled and cleaned the computer of all TS3 and Origin files? In that case start from scratch, download a new copy of Origin and start installing the game using the directions I posted previously under "Using Origin". Once you have a fresh installation of the game, open the Launcher and see what happens. Monitor the RAM usage using Activity Monitor while the Launcher opens. Purge the RAM before clicking Play on the Launcher.
Does it work now or still an error?

Do I install the updates when prompted? Or use Superpatch update on The Sims 3?
