@puzzlezaddict I haven't any of my Sims CD's so won't I need to reinstall through Origin?
@StephJ82 Yes, you need to install from Origin. Even if you had disc copies, you'd still need to use the digital download version, as OS Mojave won't authenticate TS3 discs. But once the game is installed, you don't need to run it from Origin. In fact, you could uninstall Origin entirely once you've installed all of your packs. This is only true in mac OS; the Windows version needs to be launched through Origin each time.
Hi @puzzlezaddict I tried to follow the instructions I uninstalled the game reinstalled it, did the superpatch, and I still got a message saying Unknown Error , I'll try again tomorrow though, thanks
Hi @puzzlezaddict sorry to keep annoying you but I got halfway trough the superpatch and I got a message saying 'You cannot apply this patch on this version of the application'
@StephJ82 You're not annoying me at all; the point of having a forum is so that people can ask questions instead of just following guides.
The Super Patch needs to be applied to the base game, so when you run it, navigate to the green plumbob icon that sits in Applications\The Sims 3. Using anything else, whether a folder or the icon for a pack, will cause the patcher to throw that error.
