Mac Issue - Cannot access Options Menu
LVRugger:
Your source is probably the problem. Find another source and rearr.
I don't know of any compatibility-checker for the Mac. There are not a ton of core mods out there - Awesome and Gabriel are the ones I see the most. I just install and see if it works. Haven't had any issues yet.

Ok - So I managed to screw up my neighborhood BEFORE I even started playing the damn game. After placing all my lots, I saw two things: no lot button would show up empty when trying to move in sims, when going to select a family mode, no buttons would show up at all, and most empty lots - lots with no residential buildings placed yet - had residents - random sims just living there, with household incomes and all. All I did was install CC, including lots and some sims from MTS and mods, mostly from here.
So... I dumped everything including game files, reinstalled from the same iso just to see, made absolutely sure (this time) little snitch was running whilst playing, ran the game for the first time without any mods or cc of any kind, created the framework using Marhis' script (not manually like last time) and it all seems to be working brilliantly.
Have no idea what all that was about - if anyone knows of any known scenarios that could have done this that would be great to know so I can avoid in the future.

This. Glad you got it to work. I'm not sure what you should do about installing .sims3pack though on mac. If possible maybe run them with 3viewer on windows and send the files to the mac with a flash drive or something.The launcher is really to be avoided, especially if you Arr'd the game. I know little snitch can block internet but the launcher also does not distinguish crap downloads at all, plus makes a huge bloat in unnecessary files. You should research/ learn about folder structures on Mac if you're going to continue using tons of CC so you can do things manually.
Sifaradia:
Actually, I spoke too soon. The weird game glitches that happened before are still gone - I have access to the options menu (turned off music THANK GOD), can choose families, etc., but now I'm creating my sims and some, not all which is the confusing part, of my CAS CC that I installed manually (not sims3packs) is not showing up. Oddly enough, all the sims3packs CC obviously installed through the launcher shows up fine. I did use 3viewer which works on macs to look at the files but I couldn't figure out how to remove the package file from the sims3packs, if you know what I mean. Maybe it doesn't do this?
I did research about the framework and how to do it manually - this is how I did it the first time and all the CC did show up before, and the script I used this time created the framework exactly how I thought it would so it's just plain weird that some things show in game and some do not given that they're all in the correct folder and they did show up before.
