Has anyone been able to play with a pet ?
My game is working (not SUPER smooth but working) without a pet in the household. That makes me super sad cause pets is one of the best packs in TS3. I’m sure they’ll fix it soon but are there any updates on this available ? I don’t mind the bulky eyelashes and little quirks like this (I’m never close enough to my sim’s fave anyways). What matters the most is gameplay.
@MaxisJoe Do you know if anything is being worked on regarding the pets issue ? thank you for taking the time to answer everyone’s questions.

@XprincessdidiY I've played fine with multiple pets. However, my Mac has a dedicated graphics card. So far, everyone I've seen who has reported not being able to play with pets and who has provided specs has an integrated graphics card.
I'm not saying that you can't or shouldn't be able to play with pets, just that there's an obvious pattern here.

I see. That could be linked/explain the issue then. I'm sure the EA sims team will notice this sooner or later and provide a fix for it.
Thank you!

I agree as well. The crashes and other bugs make the game unplayable. Please let us know if/when there will be a fix for this!

I am having the same issue she is. I am on Mac OS High Sierra. I was able to play the game earlier this week. I wanted to download my expansion packs and I have had issues ever since.

@sophtoph4 I don't know when or even if these issues will be fixed, sorry. It does seem to help many people to play in windowed mode, and perhaps with the settings on low. I know that's not a great solution though.
@SarahGirlCutie Which packs did you install, and what specific issue are you having? Please attach your deviceconfig.log, in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3. You'll neeed to manually open the folders; the file won't show up in a search. You can delete your user and computer names, about 25 lines down, but there's nothing else in that file that can identify you.

I think my game keeps crashing also because of pets but even for the households that don't have it the game still crashes or freezes. I have tried uninstalling and repairing in Origin, updating my computer and Origin, resetting Origin by downloading the Reset Origin tool, and I have even entered safe mode to give it a try but that was even worse - the game wouldn't launch at all. If anyone has any other ideas or tips that would be great!
