Crashes on Mac while in cas

I know Macs are not supported really anymore to play the sims 3 but im just wondering is there any fix? I have the 64 bit version and my expansion packs are island living, generations, pets, seasons, late night, world adventures and showtime. I know Mac has loads of problems playing it like sims cant go in water and if they go into the singing career no music plays when they sing and many many more but is there anything I can do to stop it from crashing? I have a feeling its inevitable that I won't be able to stop it from crashing so I always make sure to save but it mainly crashes in cas and I do have cc and for the past few days I have been trying to figure out if its bad cc as it kept crashing in accessories so I transferred my cc onto a windows laptop and used delphys sims 3 manager thing to find if there was bad cc and also used the 50/50 method to find out and I thought I had fixed it but nope around 10-20 mins into being into cas it crashes so now I have no clue if its cc or if its just the game. Any tips? 

I have had these comes up in my sims 3 folder after it crashes if it helps and a script error that says

  • @lozzymmd  Please test with no custom content at all.  The simplest way is to rename the Sims 3 folder in Documents > Electronic Arts, preventing the game from reading anything inside it but not actually deleting the content.  When you open the launcher, a clean folder will spawn with no content, cc or otherwise.  Start a new save and see whether CAS crashes.

    If you do get another crash, please list the full specs of your Mac: everything under About This Mac including the OS and except for the serial number.
