I brought sims and a few stuff packs and expansion packs including:
Expansion Packs:
Seasons
Late Night
Island Paradise
Stuff Packs:
High End Loft Stuff
Note: I am using mac with OSX 10.6.8 The External Drive has 69.83gb available and the Mac HDD has 17.1gb the game says its up to date version 1.42.130.019001
When i first got the game i managed to install Island Paradise but not any of the others i deleted the sims off of my computer to save space and i just installed the Sims 3 on an External drive and i managed to play it successfully however i really don't like the standard furniture in the game so i quit and installed High End Loft Stuff (i assume i had to install them in order) so i did the install process it displayed a message saying that the game is more up to date than expected and that it could be incompatible (i have read that all i have to do is click yes to the update that appears when you open the launcher) so i updated it and double clicked the launcher to open it a blue light shoes under the icon to say its active and then the high end loft stuff symbol appears (all normal) then it just closes so i try again and same happens (i have tried with both the base game disk and the high end loft stuff disk but none work) so i reluctantly uninstall it and try with the Late night and exactley the same happened
i really want to install them but this isn't the first problem i have had
(a while ago i did the same but with the island paradise pack and the launcer did open that time but the game didnt have any towns or anything)
I hope you can help
Thanks
