Help for a beginner? (Sims 3 Expansion Packs Question)

Hi,

i'm really new to torrenting and everything and I was wondering if somebody could help me. I have a Mac OSX.

I own the Sims 3 base game, Generations, and Ambitions. I really want to download more expansions. I have downloaded from this site: Pets, Late Night, Showtime, Supernatural, Seasons, World Adventures, University Life, High End Loft, Fast Lane, Diesel, Master Suite, 60s-80s, Katy Perry, and Town Life.

I have used utorrent to download these and have successfully downloaded all of them, but I have no idea what to do from here. All of them are .rar files and I have an app called Unrar but that just breaks them up into more files.

I have no idea what a crack, or mounting, or .exe is or anything.

Can someone please help me? I think it's possible because it seems like everyone else is doing it, but I just don't know what to do.

Thank you so much

Hello!

First of all, you need to unzip the Expansion with Stuffit Expander (You can get it for free from the Mac app store), not any other program.
Then you have to create a DMG with Disk Utility, more information here: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t7248-how-to-install-sims-3-with-or-without-ep-s-on-mac-dmg-creating

Thanks for replying!

I successfully installed a bunch of EP's and SP's, but now I'm having issues starting the game. If I click on any of the EP's (even ones that I paid for) it takes forever for the game to actually pop up and then before I can even click play something pops up that asks me if I want to debug the game and whether or not I click yes, the game crashes. I have downloaded the ultimate fix but I can't figure out what to do with it after that. Please help me!

Ok. Can you tell me exactly what you did after you unzip the RAR with Stuffit Expander, please?

I went to disk utility and made a disk image for each expansion pack then installed each of them using the keygen's provided in the Installation guide's.

Ok. I guess your last expansion installed is University Life, right?
Download the Super Patch and use it with the base game. Then put the crack again into th bin folder and try playing

I tried using the ultimate fix but now I'm getting an error and something about a debugging thing and it keeps crashing?

Did you apply the Manual Patch?

I applied the manual patch and figured out how to follow the "Must Read" directions but now the game works perfectly for about 15 minutes then crashes. I have no mods or cc

Ok. I know it's not the perfect solution, but... What if you play with the graphics on the lowest point? It worked for me.
I could play great before Seasons came out. Try this and let me know.

Ok sure! How do I adjust that?

//EDIT

Never mind I just figured out how to do that. Do you know if I could
like, adjust it so that I wouldn't even notice the difference?
