^ Oh sorry about that. I've been trying everything, jumping from forum to forum to find any solution but nothing works.
So how did the guys who had the same problem get theirs fixed? I'm feeling a lil bit desperate.

I'm hoping the thread started will post how they solve their dilemma.

Help! I'm new to SIMS 3 and I really really want to play the game, however, as soon as I move in to a household, my sim gets stuck in the mailbox and when I buy something, the game crashes. I can't even open my OPTIONS menu I'm on an iMac which meets all the requirements. It seems like it's a problem related to the latest 1.4 patch, or so I thought.

Does anyone have a working solution to this? Please point me to the right direction, anyone.. TIA!
