@MarRezKermi I suspect that the Force Quit menu reading is just a bit inaccurate. Please open the Memory tab in the Activity Monitor (in Applications > Utilities) while you play. Double-click on the Sims 3 entry, so you get an additional pop-up.
Please take screenshots when you first load a save and the game clock has run for a few sim-minutes, when you've played for at least half an hour, and when you've played long enough to get a slowdown. The screenshot should contain the graph in the bottom left corner of the Activity Monitor too:
Please also post the full specs of your Mac, including operating system, as described in this post:
Yeah, sorry for that! It just happened again! 42 GB and I decided to kill task, because my computer started freezing again!
Situation: 3 Sims on different places, suddenly all froze.
Everything was starting to freeze again, so I did only one screenshot from Monitor (at the game beginning it was ~2,15 GB, I'll update screenshots from next gameplay, promise!) before my computer freaked out:
My MacBook specification:
- MacOS Catalina (screenshot)
- MacBook Air 2017 13,3"
- Processor i5 5350U 1,8 GHz (2 Cores, 4 Threads)
- 8 GB RAM
- Intel HD 6000 Graphics
I have all EPs installed and SPs - without Katy Perry's SP and Movie. My Mods - Nraas and Error Trap & custom world (Legacy Island III) + some CC from Store.

@MarRezKermi That is... impressive. What does it say if you double-click on the Sims 3 entry in the Activity Monitor? You should see real, virtual, shared, and private memory listed.
I'd also love to test your save, if you're willing to share it. You can upload it to a filehosting site (Google Drive, Dropbox, whatever) and either link it here or PM me.
Please also test in a clean Sims 3 folder with no mods or custom content. You can just rename the existing one, and the launcher will spawn a new one the next time you open it.
