Forum Discussion
The truthful answer is that no version of macOS past 10.8 Mountain Lion is supported in the Sims 3 so there is no guarantee the game will work. If you have read threads on here and elsewhere about the game and the Unknown Error issue then you will know that there is currently no magical fix, just workarounds.

So I guess I should revert back to using El Captain or similar then. I just know that origin is downloading and installing all the other add on packs but they're not showing up in my applications folder or launchpad.

I've moved your posts to this single thread you started, no need to post in multiple threads 🙂
El Capitan was released after Mountain Lion, you're lucky it was working.
The issue with packs not showing as installed is extensively covered in the Sims 3 Mac help thread, the Unknown Error links and in multiple other places on this forum and beyond. Origin does not install the packs on a Mac, an external installer launches and prompts for the serial code after downloading through Origin - are you playing in Boot Camp?

I Haven't got boot camp added this time. I did have before but since my registry files became corrupted a while back I had to reformat my MacBook and install El Captain then update to High Sierra. Do you think I might need bootcamp?
