Thanks for moving this.

 

Things we tried:

reinstall origin and sims 4. (both with all addons and none).

Delete folder from my docs.

icloud has never been on for the documents folder.

retina off, v sync on,

 

Minor improvement:

it seems the game is running now and not randomly closing with no message like before.

but there seems to be a weird graphics thing where a chunk of black or yellow just shows up when u move the camera. the weird thing is that it seems to only happen in one apartment.

In San Myshuno, 1310 21 Chic Street. that High rise apartment is where the graphics thing happens.

Here, it really only seems to happen in this lot.

 

of course. this would vary depending on camera angles. between a small line to triangle. to that whole half screen mess. at one point it was yellow

Eww, that's horrible! What happens in windowed mode? Try changing it from full screen and also dragging the corner to make it a little smaller so it doesn't fill the screen.

same thing. so our work around is to not use that lot at all anymore. with this macbook lol. it would be interesting though to see if it happens to other players at that same lot in 

 San Myshuno, 1310 21 Chic Street.

 

but of course i don't other people's games to break haha

 

UPDATE:

tried window mode again. it just suddenly crashed.

 

full screen works though but that graphics bug happens.

 

yeah we're not using this lot anymore

I like breaking my game so I loaded 1310 21 Chic Street. It was all fine of course. Do you want to send me your save so I can try and load that lot from your save? Upload to a file sharing site or cloud storage and post the link.
