To make this easier to do in the future, I made an alias of the ist file in our Documents folder. 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 The next time you start the game, it should begin straight away with the EA and Maxis logos. Change S3Launcher.exe to TS3W.exe and save the file.Note: not the one just above it with CedegaGameDir! Now the real thing: locate the line CedegaGameName about 2/3rds down.You'll probably have to scroll down almost to the bottom of the list to find TextEdit.app.Right or Control click that file for the context menu and there select Open With.Within that folder there is a file ist (usually the second item).A new window opens with only one item: the folder Contents In that menu, select Show Package Contents.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.Within your Applications folder, locate and open the folder The Sims 3.Here's how (also a rather long story, I'm afraid.) :lol: You could try starting the game directly, bypassing the Launcher. It's probably the Launcher that crashes at the time it hands over control to the game itself. I organized it as a numbered list and formatted some text, but left the content unchanged.

The following is quoted verbatim as posted by user "Ashpeef" on the Sims forums. And really, try the linked forum post first this is just a backup plan. Read no further unless you (or a family member) play Sims 3 and want to get it working in macOS Sierra. 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. My daughter's fave game, Sims 3, was getting stuck on the loading screen in Sierra. After much scouring of the internet, I found the solution and tweeted about it: When we upgraded all our Macs to macOS Sierra, my daughter was upset because Sims 3 broke.
