Well, I can verify the preload of Snowy Escapes does not fix the crashing problem.

I could not find a way to comment on this discussion. I'm having the same problem since the update. I was able to play a bit longer this evening but the game made a loud pop sound (New, did not happen yesterday) and then it closed. I have also noticed the game will not close while I'm on the main menu, the gallery, and create a sim. Only closes while I'm playing a household. I do not know how to get the problem report file, so I copied and paste it into a word document (attached). This is the most recent report. I have a MacBook Pro 2017 with macOS Catalina version 10.15.7. To my knowledge I have to mods or cc. And I have never experienced this or any other problems before this update.

I had a few crashes earlier in the day today, each about 30 minutes into build mode. This evening I installed snowy escape and I was maybe an hour or so into gameplay, I just finished snowboarding and went to relax in the hot springs. No error message but I had two odd beeping noises come from my computer, then the game quit unexpectedly.

Just updated Sims 4

★★★★ Novice

Hi everyone I recently updated Sims 4 I just use content from the official game packs.  I started playing with a new Sim after the update and the game quit unexpectedly after I had designed a house and got my Sim up to the second step of its aspiration. This long line of stuff came up on the screen and it said it would automatically be sent to Apple ( I play on an apple mac). Is there something I can do to prevent this happening and is it serious?
