Is your Mac listed in the opening post in this thread? Or an even newer one that isn't listed? If so I'm afraid you probably won't ever be able to get Ambitions to work as the problem is related to unsupported Intel graphics in newer Macs which is incompatible with the game (Late Night is also affected). You can try the workaround listed by editing the .sgr files though but don't expect a miracle.
If your Mac isn't one of those please can you be more specific about which model you have?
My Mac is not listed, I have a MacBook Pro early 2011. I have tried pretty much everything to get it to work. My sims game will work fine if I delete Ambitions. And when I download it, I am not sure where it goes. It doesn't go my sims 3 folder like all the others, it will say it's downloaded but I cannot find it anywhere on my computer.

Have you looked in the Origin downloads folder for the .dmg? Origin > Preferences > Installs & Saves then click on Browse Installers
Can you also check the installation - Go into Applications > The Sims 3 (is there an Ambitions shortcut in that folder?) then right click on the base game icon and select Show Package Contents. Navigate through to Contents > Resources > AddOns, is Ambitions listed?
Do you have a 13" MacBook Pro with Intel HD 3000 graphics or a 15" MacBook Pro with AMD Radeon HD 6490M or 6750M and Intel HD 3000?

It is located in the addOns file. it's the only place it is located. I clicked it and it said it had an update, which is the first time it's ever said that, I usually just get the error message. So right now it is updating, And I have the 13" with Intel and HD 3000.

I updated The Sims 3 ambitions, and I'm still getting the error message.

Ok. Can you manually uninstall Ambitions then download it and try again? Please look in the Origin downloads folder I mentioned in my previous post and get rid of any installers that are already there before re-downloading Ambitions
