my sims life stories just stopped working!

[BlackKillerCat]

I have had Sims life stories(mac version) sense Feb of 2007 and it is one of my favorite games well i haven't played it for about 2 months the last time i played it i had no problems. I want to start from scratch again in the free play but i can't even get it to open, when i have tried to open it all it does is bounce the icon in the bottom of my screen that all then the icon disappears like i have closed it. I have tried reinstalling it twice but nothing happened i have even restated and shut down my computer and tried that and it doesn't work.

can anyone help me.

You need to open the folder "Your_MacHD:Users:your_username:Library:Preferences" and delete all the preference file(s) for the Sims. I don't have the game, so I can't tell you how they'll be named, but I think you can figure it out as you look at how the files are named. Once the preference file(s) is in the trash, restart the game and it should run.
