Hi, everyone! I'm new here, and made an account just to post about this.
I used to have the Sims 3 on my old 2011 Mac, along with the Pets expansion pack. It ran fine on there. Recently, I updated to a new 2016 Mac and dowloaded Origins so I could play DAII. I didn't realize that my Sims 3 account was connected to Origins, so I was able to download it (along with Pets) no problem last night. I got a pop up for an update this morning, and I updated the game before opening it to play.
But there's a problem.
Whenever I boot up the game, everything's running smoothly. However, I go into Create A Sim, and the backgrounds to certain menus are just... missing. Like if I go into the customizer, I can see the color wheel and some of the text, but there's no background and I have to blindly click around on the screen to exit the menu. Same for the area with the traits, and I can't go over to pick my Sims' favorite color/food/etc. And if I try to create a new sim to add to the one I already have, or click "OK" to go and finish the family of 1 I've been working on, the game freezes completely or crashes. Can someone please help me?
