Could you post a screenshot of your in-game graphics settings and attach your config.log file? This was an issue on some Macs with lower spec. Intel chips but was fixed months ago. Have you tried disabling the SSAO - https://bluebellflora.com/2019/11/15/boxy-shadows-under-sim-since-1-58-patch/ I looked at the ssao thing but it just seems WAY to complicated for someone like me who knows nothing about computers haha. I tried up until I had to open the file with Text Edit, but my computer says I need an app for that? Idk, I was really confused and scared of breaking stuff. But here are my graphics settings:
Whoops sorry I forgot the file:

Right click on the GraphicsRules.sgr file and choose open with TextEdit. TextEdit is preinstalled on your Mac. Once opened follow the rest of the instructions. You're not going to break your Mac 🙂 I've merged your bug reports into one thread here in the Mac forum. Have you now fixed the box shadow issue and you are getting another shadow issue? If you up the Lighting option to Very High does it improve? I have it on that setting, my Sim's shadow looks like this:
This looks normal to me?
- @Bluebellflora I will retry the SSAO thing and experiment with lighting graphics. My sims' shadows also look like that it's just when they interact sometimes they will expand and glitch back in place, and that was the best screenshot I could get:/ But I'll try these things and see how it goes. Thx in advance!!
Hi I know it's been a while. I eventually found the time to play again today, but the shadows were so extremely glitchy and my sims disappeared and reappeared a few times, so I went into my graphics setting and starting changing things to try and fix it. I looked at retina display and read that it can slow some computers down, so I tried turning it off and it froze into a weird screen (there should be a screenshot) I eventually had to force quit the game. I'm just tired at this point, there are just waay too many glitches and bugs that I can barely enjoy my game, and I don't feel like playing anymore. But thank you for your help.

Have you tried changing the SSAO? Or are you just playing around with the in-game options?
