Neither of you have Origin avatars. Please edit your Origin profile and change the avatar:

 

  1. Open Origin, click on your profile in the bottom left corner then click on the orange button saying Edit on EA.com next to your profile image in the main window.
  2. In the browser window that opens click on your profile picture and choose a new avatar. You can upload your own or choose one from the avatar gallery.
  3. Quit Origin then restart.

★★ Guide

Hi @Bluebellflora,

 

After some trials and errors, I have one more piece of information to add. When setting a custom avatar, the connection issue would only resolve if the custom image has a small enough dimension. I started with 860 × 860 pixels and it ended up working when I shrank the image to 240 × 240 pixels.

Sims 4 Crashing When Opening Gallery - MAC

[ Edited ]
★★★ Newbie

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? Sims 4
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Open the gallery on a mac
What happens when the bug occurs? When I open the gallery on my mac, the game just crashes instantly giving me no option to report the bug or even close the tab - I have to close the game myself. The crash doesn't fix itself either.
What do you expect to see? Crash, with no action whatsoever.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

You can't really tell from here, but it doesn't unfreeze after this

The Gallery Crashes everytime I open it

★★ Novice

So the gallery keeps on crashing when I open it. I don't know if it's my wifi or something? I'm on a MacBook air and the game works fine just until I open it. The pictures f the builds and just have a red X through it too. So can someone please help??

@mimijean28

But it doesn't crash all the time though otherwise you wouldn't see the red X's?

Please repair the game and see if that helps.
