Wasn’t sure where to paste it, as I still hadn’t finished installing all the ep’s at that point, but putting it into Ambitions didn’t work. I tried your ‘alias’ strategy again, didn’t work, so I tried the Corey strategy with the whole folder from transgaming. Okay, it’s been a few more hours now and I’m still downloading, installing, checking.Įverything worked okay up to LN [so that’s S3, WA, HELS, AMB and I was able to launch the game each time and it updated as it installed each expansion pack.

Thanks in advance for reading this, and for any help you may have! And for all you do in general, you are truly a lifesaver when it comes to trying to get my mac to play this game. Any thought? Should I just do an uninstall and see what happens when I reinstall it, or is it a known issue I didn’t see while searching through the site? I have no idea what to do, as all the files and icons were already in the right places and everything seems to be fine, it just doesn’t show on the launcher that I have it and I get the error message from trying to launch it. The game still launches from other icons though.

I tried copying and replacing the folder in the launch game in case something had corrupted between them or something, tried to make a new alias folder icon, but when I try to launch through Master Suite I get the unknown error. I have used the fixes on other titles, and it worked perfectly for those (so I don’t think it’s me not following instructions correctly), but I’m struggling this time. Master Suite stuff is installed, the icon shows up in the applications folder, the folder for the game is in the right spot in the launch game, but it doesn’t show as installed in the launcher. I thought that this was my problem, but the fixes really didn’t do anything since it was already showing up in most places. Repeat the above for every EP/SP that has not installed into the Sims 3 Applications folder.If you are still getting the Unknown Error message then you MUST follow Corey_0414’s instructions which fixes the issue here. Attempt to launch the game through the shortcut you just added to the Sims 3 Applications folder.Delete the alias from the file name so it just has the name of the EP/SP. Drag the alias file you have just created into the Applications > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 folder so the folder now has the base game and all your EP/SP shortcuts (aliases) in it. Now right click on the add-on pack and select Make Alias.

After the update you will probably get the Unknown Error message again.
