[CURRENT ISSUE] Sims 4 crashing since November 2020 update, NOT CC/Mod related [ Edited ]

[kaileaforever]

I updated my game today with the new November 2020 update. It let me play for a little while (10-20) minutes before crashing. Nothing popped up on my screen and no error code either. The game just closed itself basically. I play on Mac. 

Edit - edited title to reflect issue since the 10 November patch, 1.68. (Bluebellflora)

I was sooo excited for the new Platform Update because I couldn't wait to put a bed on a platform! Low and behold after updating, repairing, closing and reopening Sims 4 the game *continues* to completely freeze on my Mac every time I build a Platform and place a bed on it. Please tell me how to fix this, I am so disappointed.

Not sure if it is okay to reply to this thread but my game also crashed in a different way. Never happened before, i was playing in a university housing and traveled to UBrite Squad in order to participate in a debate showdown. The game suddenly shut itself down. No need to mention it happened after the latest update i think...

[brunetttexo]

@JuliaChang93 yeah it is something with this new Nov 10 update that just came out. I'm so disappointed but i'm patiently waiting for a solution still

[brunetttexo]

@crinrict ok thanks!

After I updated the game today, my game has crashed 4 times all about 10 minutes into gameplay. Just completely shuts down. I played for hours yesterday with no issues. I have removed any cc (just a handful of things) and tried repairing game.

[RJBlain]

Ditto. Game is unplayable. I played for 8 hours yesterday no problems. Patch started, game runs for 1-10 minutes before "The Sims4 has quit unexpectedly" problem starts up.

Hooray. (Please use your best sarcasm font here.)
