When we upgraded all our Macs to macOS Sierra, my daughter was upset because Sims 3 broke. After much scouring of the internet, I found the solution and tweeted about it:
I bought sims 3 on Steam last year and couldn't install it (mac version wasn't out yet) or get a refund back then. I heard the 64-bit version is out now, but I'm not sure how to install it through steam. I hear that those who previously bought CDs can type in their CD keys on Origin, but have no info on how to do it from steam bought sims games. A lot of individual cc packages will slow down your game considerably, and cause a lot of lag and very long loading wait time. Merging packages is not only very easy, it always takes some of that lag away and makes your game a little bit faster to run. Electronic Arts has released a compatibility update for The Sims 3, allowing players on Mac to update their games to be 64-bit and Metal compatible. Check out the FAQ & Technical threads over at Answer HQ for updates and information. For additional information with The Sims 3 on Mac, or any Mac help in general, visit bluebellflora.com.
My daughter's fave game, Sims 3, was getting stuck on the loading screen in Sierra. This Info.plist edit fixed it: https://t.co/HzjgWnB7cr

Sims 3 For Mac Free
It dawned on me, though, that if that forum post ever vanishes, I'll be in trouble with future new Macs and/or reinstalls, so I thought I'd document it here, too. Read no further unless you (or a family member) play Sims 3 and want to get it working in macOS Sierra. And really, try the linked forum post first; this is just a backup plan.
How To Download Sims 3 Cc On Mac
The following is quoted verbatim as posted by user 'Ashpeef' on the Sims forums. I organized it as a numbered list and formatted some text, but left the content unchanged.
It's probably the Launcher that crashes at the time it hands over control to the game itself. You could try starting the game directly, bypassing the Launcher. Here's how (also a rather long story, I'm afraid...) :lol:
- Within your Applications folder, locate and open the folder The Sims 3
- Find the application The Sims 3.app, then right click (or hold the Control key and click if you can't right click) to get the context menu.
- In that menu, select Show Package Contents. A new window opens with only one item: the folder Contents
- Within that folder there is a file info.plist (usually the second item)
- Right or Control click that file for the context menu and there select Open With
- You'll probably have to scroll down almost to the bottom of the list to find TextEdit.app. Use that program to open the file.
- Now the real thing: locate the line <key>CedegaGameName</key> about 2/3rds down. Note: not the one just above it with CedegaGameDir!
- The next line should end ...Bin/S3Launcher.exe</string>
- Change S3Launcher.exe to TS3W.exe and save the file.
The next time you start the game, it should begin straight away with the EA and Maxis logos.
If you later on want to start with the Launcher again, just do the same thing, this time changing TS3W.exe back into S3Launcher.exe
To make this easier to do in the future, I made an alias of the info.plist file in our Documents folder. And as I'm not a masochist, I used BBEdit, not TextEdit, to edit the file.
