    Hi,
    As a test, you can try temporarily removing your player data files before relaunching the game. To do so, use Finder and navigate to the following location:
    /Users/<Username>/Documents/Electronic Arts
    Now move (not copy) the folder named The Sims 3 to your desktop. Attempt to run the game.

  • Hi, @SweetMaria16 and I'm sorry you're having such trouble. Installing The Sims 3 on a mac requires some extra work these days, especially if Late Night is one of your packs. But I can walk you through it, if you want. You might prefer to have a parent help you, as it's important that you follow the instructions exactly. Or I can take you through the steps. Just let me know.
    At this point, the most important thing to do is to completely uninstall the game and start from scratch. You can find instructions on how to do so below. It really is critical that you remove all of the hidden library files, or else you're not going to be able to launch the game.

    Again, if you'd like some help, that's fine. Just list the expansion and stuff packs you want to install, and list the specifications of your computer, as described in this thread:

    (This information is important too because depending on your model of mac, you may need to take a couple of extra steps.)
  • I have tried installing just the base game because for the past two years I haven't been able to play the Sims 3 at all. I had to uninstall two years ago and ever since, I've never been able to install it again. Again, I have tried installing all the expansions and I have tired just the base game. I've received the error: The Sims 3 Unknown error occurred way too many times to count. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, removed all Sims files from my computer and nothing works. I use an iMac and I've included the specs below.
    Hardware Overview:
    Model Name: iMac
    Model Identifier: iMac14,2

Sims 3 mac unknown error has occurred base game of all time
Hello everyone. I haven't been able to play on the sims for ages now due to 'An unknown error has occurred.' Which in EA language means 'Were a bunch of ***** who've made an incomplete game and would you like you to give us more money so we can make more unfinished games and sell your personal data to hackers.' Well I've sorted this problem out before by bypassing the the launcher but EA have stopped that by creating 'Service initialisation failed (0x0175dcbb)' Which has locked me out of my so called island paradise which means I can't play island paradise and it's the limited edition. I've beaten it before but now I can't find the fix. It must have been taken down and I expect bribery and murder were involved knowing EA. Does anyone know how I can fix this without me constantly bombarding EA with spam. This is what is on my now: Mac OS X version 10.7.5 Processor 2.5 GHz intel Core i5 Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Startup Disk Macintosh HD. Oh and I've tried porting it to my PC because the discs I've got are compatible with any operating system, ANY, but I needed to make an origin account which was a headache of its own because all of my emails were used and the verification codes were used on my Mac. Oh yeah I have no custom content or mods or anything illegal. All the stuff is either from the store or the expansion and stuff packs which are: Island paradise, design and high tech stuff, fast lane stuff, generations, WA, showtime , Late night, ambitions, outdoor living and the base game.

Jan 04, 2017  I'm thinking that this issue might be related to updates; when I open the base game launcher (no EPs, since those break the launcher), the game needs an update. More importantly, when I am installing the EPs, I get a message saying 'the Sims 3 version installed is more recent than expected. May 14, 2019  The Sims 3 / Troubleshoot The Sims 3 on Mac / Tuesday, May 14, 2019. So sometimes a Mac that will run the base game has trouble running some of the later expansion packs. Ve done this a little out of order, you may not see any problems, but if you think it could be what’s causing the unknown error, try this: Uninstall The Sims 3.
