Please can you provide more information about your Mac. Instructions on how to do so and what to provide here - http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612...

 

Why is it unplayable? Any error messages?

Did you try moving the Sims 4 folder to the desktop and try a clean game before disabling retina, enabling Vertical Sync and disabling iCloud?

I did all of that and nothing works. Last week I was playing with high settings and everything was fine and now it’s broken

My game keeps crashing on MacBook Pro

[ Edited ]
★ Apprentice

Hello! I recently bought a new MacBook Pro 16,1 8-core intel core i9, I installed Sims 4, and transferred my save file and mods folder to Mac. But my game keeps crashing down after 2 minutes of opening it, a message appears saying sims 4 has closed unexpectedly. And I t seems to always crash faster when I try to zoom out.
My game and computer are updated. I tried everything, I deleted the mods folder, deleted the saves and started a new game, deleted the sims 4 folder and generated a new one, tried different graphic settings, turned of the retine mode, nothing works. I recently bought the university expansion. My game worked just fine on my old computer, the only diference is that I didn't have the university expansion yet. Please help me.

@Bluebellflora Thank you so much for your help! Standard smile Unfortunately my game keeps crashing even after I tried what you suggested on page 1. I tried disabling icloud drive, disabling retina display and enabling vertical sync. Nothing worked. I tried repairing the game again, I also tried disabling origin in game as you suggested, nothing. Then I tried to create a new account on Mac, but it said the game was having problems starting. 

 

My Mac specifications are:

 

macOS Catalina Version 10.15.4

MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) 

Processor 2,3 GHz Intel Core i9

Memory 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4

Graphics AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 4GB

                Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB

 

I also have an antivirus instaled, it's called Avira.

 

Thanks again for trying to help me. Standard smile

What was the error message in the new account, could you post a screenshot of it?

Disable your antivirus too and see if that helps.
