The Sims 2 Super Collection "Unexpectedly Quits" on Mac
I'm new here, and not very computer savvy, so please bear with me. I just love playing the Sims and am hoping someone can help me. Here's the story:
I purchased the Sims 2 super collection on my husband's MacBook air a few days ago and it works like a dream. Then, I unexpectedly got an old MacBook air from a friend. It's about ten years old but it has a 64 bit processor and it has High Sierra 10.13.6, so I believe I have all the appropriate specs for this game (and loads of space too). I re-downloaded the game from the app store onto my new Mac and every time I try to open the app, I get a pop up that says the app unexpectedly quit.
Here's what I've tried: restarting the laptop, contacting apple support, trying to open the game in safe mode, trying to open the game under a different account, trying to clear the files (I found this suggestion on a forum to go to Library>containers>the sims 2 and clear the files. When I go to containers I don't even see files for the sims 2), deleting and re-installing the app. I've contacted aspyr, but no response yet. Don't know if this makes sense, but does the fact that the game I originally purchased from the app store is still on my husband's Mac have anything to do with why it won't work on my Mac?
Is there a solution? Even if the answer is no, that's fine. I just want to know if there's anything that can be done. Thank you.
