Here's a few trouble shooting steps: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/Links-to-Mac-help-threads-and-guides/m-p/749664#U749664

If those don't help, I would suggest posting in the mac forum at thesims3.com (make sure your language is set to US): http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/forums/show/205.page since macs are not well covered on the AnswerHQ.

Specifically what I had to do, just in case anyone else has this issue. I had to go to the Settings, and then go to Advanced and REMOVE the download files for the installation process. It was most likely something was corrupt, I thought installing Origin would get rid of these files but it seems as though they are kept in a temp file of some sort. Going through the Origin client and removing them via this button is the easiest way!
Thanks again.
