CAS is ruining me 😭
I can’t create a sims without crashing the entire game. It happens EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
I haven’t played in over a year cause I can’t get around this problem.
Here are the specifics:
- Macbook 2019 - Sequoia 15.7.3
- Processor 1,4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core I
- Graphics Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645 1536 MB
- Memory 8GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3
- Playing with the EA app
- No CC
- Lowest game settings possible
I've tried playing with just the base game, tried offline, upside down, underwater. NOTHING WORKS. As soon as I enter CAS, the game crashes. Am I doomed? Is it my computer?
Please help. I just want to play this game again 😭
karynafontes Do you have Advanced Rendering enabled or disabled, and does it help to switch? I've had mixed reports on your category of hardware, with some players saying they needed to use one setting for CAS and the other for live mode. If you want to try the opposite setting, switch at the Main Menu and quit to desktop before loading a save.
If that doesn't help, remove or rename the Sims 3 folder in Documents > Electronic Arts and try CAS again. This will remove, but not delete, your saves and other user content, which is part of the point of the test. It will also reset all your in-game options. If you want to turn down the graphics again or flip the Advanced Rendering setting, do so at the Main Menu and quit to desktop, again. Changing some of these settings with a save loaded can cause a crash all by itself.
