I dont know if thisnwas listed before and i have a few mintues to try and type this up so here is another solution I found.
So long story short (feel free to skip) only after a few days of playing i fell asleep with the game open, and it happened to be on a huge world and making it worse I didnt even shut down and restart i switch to a household that was bigger than expected amd crashed my game. But thats not it, that alone didnt break my game I was also trying to install store content via the launcher but that was the one thing I never got `fixed`. After a dozen more tries to uninstall and install sometimes due to getting blackscreen and other times the launcher was still broken. I really wanted to figure out the launcher part - opening the Activity Monitor i coukd see the install pop up appear but it CPU would be stuck at using 2-7 percent at most. It dint make sense why it was stuck when the rest was jusy idle. I was noticing my Macbook was also supsiciouly slow even when doing things with just Finder and nothing else open. I knew my Mac previously was fine and its Specs seemed in line with working with TS3 and nothing else was working I considering types of `resetting my mac` solution and one worked perfectly.
ADDITIONAL BLACKSCREEN & BROKEN LAUNCHER SOULTION:
So assuming no other solution has worked for you up to this point and
If your game has crashed,
Launcher still broken despite clean install
And game still having a blackscreen or staying on it for like 20 mins before loading
Then try resetting your Mac's PRAM.
Sometimes if your Mac seems slow or acting wonky like struggling with one or few non-heavy programs open then this simple process of shutting down your mac and and immediately holding Command+Option+P+R may help. It effects thing resetting you mouse speed, clock/timezone, and much more a google search could explain better than I can and ending fixing my slow loading and launcher. Probably a much better solution than my previous 'Open Steam and a game to fix it' and hopefully this means i dont have to do anymore but I'll test and update this post later.
Thanks for reading and hoped this help.
EDIT: I opened my game to find the black screen issue again. I even tried my previous solutions of opening steam and shutting down and resetting the PRAM but nothing is working. I hate my problem keeps evolving every time I find a solution.
