I have uninstalled and reinstalled these games 4 times now. I even swiped my computer clean and factory reset it. Nothing is working.
I know it's really frustrating but I also know that unless every single residual file is deleted (a lot are left behind by the uninstaller), then subsequent reinstalls of either the whole game or just an EP/SP are fruitless. The same can also be said for if a user wipes their Mac, reinstalls a fresh copy of the OS, then uses Time Machine/Migration Assistant to migrate all their files over, those residual files will just be copied over again.
Ambitions, weirdly, is also a problematic EP and can cause problems on the most stable Macs. Was there a .dmg in the Origins download folder?
Set up a new user account on your Mac and see if you can play in that account.
I have done a clean uninstall and reinstall and that has not worked. I tried to make up a guest account and do it there, that did not work. And when I swiped my computer clean and did a factory reset I did not load anything on to it except the sims. I have also contacted Origin 3 times. The 1st time they told me to update Origin and download the update, and then delete all of my caches'. That did not help. The 2nd time they told me to trouble shoot it, and they sent me the steps, I did that. it did not work. The 3rd time they gave me a new code and I used that, and it still did not work. And I do not see a download folder for Origin.
The Sims 3 Ambitions said the Video has to be: ATI X1600 or Nvidia 7300 GT with 128MB of video RAM, Intel integrated GMA X3100.
And my Mac says I have: Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB.
Does that have something to do with it?
And I found the folders. 2 out of 3 of them have 2 .dmg files in it.
