My sims 3 has never worked on my Macbook... help? :(

[sallirawr]

I have a Macbook. I bought the sims 3 last week and it didnt work
I know i meet ALL the specifications 100%- even down to the latest (10.5.7) update.

After installing and pressing the sims 3 icon I got the following message:
Exception raised
Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x0000000 at address 0x100d85a
Do you wish to debug it?

I pressed yes, no, yes again, uninstalled and reinstalled the game, restarted my laptop- everything. Then I realised I only had 1gb RAM, so I upgraded to 2.5gb RAM myself. Thinking this would fix the problem, I uninstalled the game, fitted the new memory, reinstalled game and low and behold i get the same error message!!! After spending a lot of money on that RAM! Im VERY frustrated now- would someone out there please help me?

Have you looked at the Sims 3 homepage if any patches are available, that might solve your problem?

There are no patches
Well, there is one, but its for gameplay and you already need to be able to open the game launcher to install it.
