The game in MAC doesn't work

★★★ Novice

Hello.

 

I am Urska. I come from Slovenia.


I have a MacBook Pro in MacOS Big Sur 11.1 .. I play The Sims 4. Since the OS was updated from the previous OS the game no longer works. I am very sad. 

 

What to do? I bought the The Sims 4! And the game doesn't work.

Tnx ... But ... 

 

The game freezes every now and then.
What if macOS Big Sur doesn't support The Sims 4? Maybe?

Try this basic troubleshooting step and play a new clean game to see if the issue is with your user data - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting...

It works fine in Big Sur.

 

What do you mean it works every now and again? with your existing Sims 4 folder or the new one?

 

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...

I put the folder on the desktop as described in the instructions. I fixed the game as instructed, but it still gets stuck. The game freezes at times.
So far it has been working quite normally, from 11.1. it no longer works well when I updated the OS.

Thanks. Are there any lastCrash files in your Sims 4 folder?

@Urskaa

Where did you download the game from?

 

What is the date of that lastCrash report?

I downloaded the game from Origin.com.

 

LastCrash has been around since February 26, 2020. But at the time, the game was still working fine. The game only got stuck in early January. :-(
