MAC issues

[LMDP1993]

So a few days ago I installed The Sims 3. Then I got the digital download of Pets expansion pack. All worked fine. I did download some Mods from the Sims Recourse - Glass Walls - these worked fine in the game.

Then I installed two 'stuff' packs - Town Life and Master Suite.

When I clicked the Sims icon to play it would bounce in the dock, but not open and then quit.

Then I started getting an error message:'Exception raised' unhanded page fault etc

So I uninstalled both 'stuff' packs.

Now the same error message comes up when I try and open The Sims 3 with just my Pet's expansion when it worked fine before.

I have tried to go onto terminal and purge ram. I deleted the 'transgame' files etc.

Still won't work

iMac specs:

Processor: 3.06Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory - 8GB
Graphics - ATI Radeon HD 4670 25g GB and about 900GB free

I'm gutted as I had worked hard on a house and to be honest if I have to do a clean reinstall might not bother.

Oh and I have also cleared my Sims 3 Cache.

I did read this:

but it didn't seem to help me. I am running OSX El Capitan

The link below talks about purging ram and clearing cache. It sounds like both have been done.
