    There is not, and never has been, an option to uninstall Sims 3 through Origin on a Mac. Origin is NOT needed to play Sims 3 in macOS, only to download it if purchased through Origin. The instructions you have linked to are incomplete. Please read my full guide here on how to uninstall Sims 3. The reason ITF is still showing as installed is because you have residual files left behind.

    Dear God, thank you so much. All the EA support people I talked to kept saying to right click and uninstall through Origin even when I told them I was on a Mac. Thanks a million for clarifying. You're a blessing.
