Mac version crashes all the time.

[NefariousZhen]

I just bought all of the expansion packs and what not that were on sale this past Thursday. But I can't for the life of me create a family before the game crashes! I've tried windowed mode. I've completely uninstalled everything and installed everything except Seasons (as there are a lot of posts on the internet about it not working on the mac proprely). Anyways, it's frustrating to spend $200 and not be able to even play.

Seriously, if I can't play what I bought I'm going to file a claim with my credit card company to get a refund (as it appears to be impossible to get them through origin directly). I did not get what I expected to buy.

Here is the error report from the most recent crash:
