So I have downloaded and installed all my Sims 3 base game and expansions to my external drive for my macbook pro 2014 with retina display. The first time I launched the game it was working perfectly. While creating my character my game froze and crashed. When i tried relaunching the game, the launcher shows up I click play, the big sims diamond shows up as usual, but no black screen opens to launch the game. However I can hear the music of the game playing. The app itself is open, but I can't see anything! Helppp!
Processor 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel Iris 1536 MB
There is nothing wrong with my external drive as it has always been dedicated for games and has a capacity of 2TB with more than half remaining.

If not, there are really helpful tips and tricks to keep your game running smoothly.
I had a similar problem before and I fixed it by deleted the 'Options.ini' file.
The file will regenerate when you start your game and it will set your game settings (such as game resolution etc.) to default.
Hopefully it works! Good luck!
> The game may have set the unsupported resolution. I had such a case. To solve the problem, you may try to look for the Electronic Arts/Sims 3 folder in the Documents folder in Finder, then find the Options.ini file and open it in TextEdit. There, look for the "resolution" line. It then has the three numbers after the word "resolution", corresponding to the automatically set resolution. I personally recommend to change it to 1440 900 0, as it's good for higher performance. Try this tip!)
Thank you thank you thank you! This is exactly the problem with my game!
Where did you find the Options.ini file?
