Sims 3 Application Start-Up Failed

When I try to open Sims 3 through Origin it says "Application start up failed: Could not copy preferences folder"

I just purchased two expansion packs, my original sims 3 is through a disc that I no longer have a copy of, if that makes a difference

  • I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that I'm using a Mac. Is there a similar solution on that?

    Are the EPs digital downloads from Origin? Have you successfully installed them? Have you patched up to date to 1.67 (manual patch links are in my signature)? Have you tried launching the game through the game app in your Applications folder, rather than through Origin?
