Hi,
You've posted to the wrong forum -- this forum is for Unsupported Builds
of Crossover -- I take it you're using Crossover Games Mac, which is a
Supported Build of Crossover...
When you post to the forums, please read 'The Fine Print' appearing at
the bottom of the post submission form, to wit "[i]Please refrain from the
mention of DRM circumvention, such as 'no-cd patches[/i]".
Codeweavers, as such, do not say that The Sims 3 runs in Crossover -- advocates
for this app report it running at Bronze/Silver level -- obviously how good (or
bad) it runs will be relative to your system make-up, OS version, and videocard
fitted etc etc...even the version of Crossover you're using may matter...see;

If you are using a disc based release of this title, it's very likely has disc based
DRM incorporated onto the media -- these are known not to work on the Mac due to the
OSX scsi driver design (a lot don't work in linux either)....for that, see;
http://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki/CXGamesDRM
...and...

You should repost your query to the appropriate forum -- be sure to mention which
model Mac you have ('macbook' is not enough, there are a number of different models),
which version of OSX and Crossover you're using, and what videocard/chipset your
Mac has....the correct forum for your question is here..;
