I can also report that I was just able to play for about 3 hours without any issues for most of it. Near the end I was getting a couple of mini-freezes, but these resolved themselves after a few seconds, and were nothing like what I used to get. Having had my fill, I closed the game because I wanted to, not because I was forced to - first proper session I've had in months!

 

Can't confirm that the issue is 100% guaranteed resolved, but certainly seems to be better than before for now!

Hi all,

 

Is this now fixed? Do you think I can mark it as solved and take it off the compiled list of Mac specific issues? It seems like you are happily playing again Standard smile

Personally I would like to play for a few more days and hear from others in this thread before making a call! Also is there anyway EA can acknowledge they fixed this? We haven’t heard anything so it’s either a fluke, or they did fix it...

I'll be testing this weekend. My crashes seemed very reproducible, so hopefully I will be able to report back fairly quickly either way. 

I'm on an iMac Pro.

hey fellow simmers 

 

wanted to give a good test play before I gave an update 

 

my game seems to be back to normal for the most part. besides some minor glitches and occasional crashing but actual crashing with reports, its pretty much back to normal thankfully.

not 100% perfect but at least playable. hopefully some other things can still be done to help in the future

Thanks all for confirming it now seems to be fixed. If you start experiencing issues again please post Standard smile

Another confirmation that it seems to be fixed. I've had 4-5 hours of gameplay in and out of build mode. No computer freeze.

Re: [CURRENT ISSUE] Freezing, possible system lockup on Macs with AMD Vega GPUs

Hey! The Sims 4 acknowledge the problem after I downloaded the new pack this morning. This screenshot is from my welcome screen. Hopefully, you guys will have a new update around 11/20 to fix this for anyone who is still crashing/freezing.

 

Thanks!
