It doesn't seem to be any pack in particular. I downloaded Late Night only to try it, and it still failed :/
Late night isn't working for me either. Try with a different expansion. It wasn't even showing Ambitions and Late Night in my applications folder, though it showed on Origin and the uninstaller.

This is what shows up when I go to install, but I am not sure how to get updates for expansions? I am pretty sure this is causing the problem, but I don't know for sure.

As @SydFilmFreak101 has already pointed out, Ambitions and Late Night are pretty much unplayable on newer Macs. ☹️
