[CM Edit: removed allcaps and some content that wasn't appropriate]0 - 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.
