Sims 2 won't open

[chrissey]

I have just installed The Sims 2, but when I click on the icon it looks as if it is about to open, but then nothing happens. I have tried to install different patches, but it doesn't work.
I have the minimum requirements and am trying to run the game on a MacBook intel.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to make it work?
Thanks

It seems this problem is a growing one. See this thread as well:

ive been having the same problem with game looking as if its going to open and then the bouncing icon just disappears.

so i decided to remove it completely and reinstall and now i keep getting a message half way thru the game trying to install that says, "The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "sc4_P1LOSE.movie" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)"

does anyone have any idea what to do?
