Darn! I had another hard freeze again. It came at the 8 a.m. mark, I had saved my game and paused it as my sim was making her breakfast. I wanted to add some other sims and families into town to make it more full like I normally play it. Story Progression had moved in a few sims, too. I was adding one family into one of the little farm houses just outside of the main city when it hard froze. I didn't lost my progress, so I will resume tonight or tomorrow. It will be interesting to see if I, as a Mac user, will continue to be the only tester reporting hard freezing. I have had a few freezes like this in Great Bear, too. Not so much with Castle Canyon. There may be an issue with large detailed filled worlds and my Macbook.
