The Sims Game won't start after latest OSX update?

Hello

Ive tried so many things but my problem just don't get fixed!

Yesterday I updated my MacBook Air with the new OSX 10.8.4 Update, since then my Sims 3 is not working no more!

I tried a lot of things from the view that Sims was the Problem, but since this Problem accured just after I updated my Mac System, I figured it has to do something with the new Apple Update!

When I start my Sims all I see is a Black Screen, It wont react unless I end with cmd/esc.

I tried a lot of things and it just won't help anything.

I reinstalled the Sims and it just doesnt show any process.

I would be so glad, if sb. could help me and know why my Sims Game is acting up so much, since the new Mac OSX update.

Maybe the Sims and the new Update is not compatible with each other?

Somebody help me please! Thank you very much!!!

Boot into the Safe Mode and try to open it.

Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

I don't understand why you can't see the posts since I can see them okay.

All you need to do is completely shut down your computer and then turn it back on again ! This happened to me and I did this and it worked ! My launcher wasnt coming on at all and now it does.

Hope this helped 🙂
