Cannot get the game to work, have tried endless things, please help! [SOLVED]
About a week ago I got a brand new macbook air, and have been trying to install The Sims 3 ever since. I've read multiple installation guides (including "How to install The Sims 3 correctly") and searched everywhere for a solution but I just can't find one!
When I try to install Town Life sp/Pets ep, an error pops up "This product requires an installed copy of The Sims 3. Please install The Sims 3 before installing this product." I've tried to install the ep/sp on both patched and unpatched versions of the base game to the same conclusion.
If I try to launch just the base game manually from Game\Bin\TS3.exe, before it would pass the loading screen onto the town selection menu with an error I cannot recall. Now it launches and the screen is black and unresponsive.
Yes I have tried the mac-ultimate fix and the manual patch. I've downloaded lots of large files and wasted time in hope that it would budge, but I'd like a solution, no matter how long it will take as long as I know there will be an end result. Thanks guys![Help](/users/1915/15/94/87/smiles/2830496658.gif)

Thanks for your reply,Dieneryn wrote:Hello,

I already had Razor's base game downloaded and working on my Win7, so I installed that on my mac.
That didn't work so I downloaded the base game from here, games4theworld, which didn't seem to change anything
