Sims freeze during CAS mode+gameplay

[blissnirvana]

My game has been working just fine recently, until a few days ago I was editing a sim in CAS and my Mac cursor started going around in the little rainbow circle, I then closed the game without saving and  tried it again and the same thing happened within a few minutes of gameplay. I haven't updated my Mac in a while but I'm not sure if that's that issue??

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...

Do you have a latCrash file int he Sims 4 folder form when this last happened?

I have a MacBook Air (13 inch, 2017 model), my current version is the Mac Catalina (10.15.7), the processor is 1.8 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5. my memory right now is 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, and my graphics are Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536 MB. I'm playing the normal version of the game, not the legacy version. I don't think I have an antivirus running right now, I have tried repairing and that didn't work, and my mods are updated I think, but I haven't removed them and saw what happens.

Move the Mods folder to the desktop, trash the localthumbcache.package file then load your game and see if it still happens.

[blissnirvana]

Okay so I did move the mods folder and deleted the localthumbcache, but it did crash again not letting me get into the game at all. I deleted all the last exception texts errors I've been getting but it seems I do that every time to make it work, is there anything I can do to not do that every time I log into the game?

Repair the game and if it still happens, move the whole Sims 4 folder to the desktop and see if you can play a brand new clean save. Let me know how you get on
