Hi!! So I finally got the Sims 3 64 bit for my Mac and it runs pretty good and I am very happy with it, there is only one problem. It keeps freezing every like 10 seconds, this didn't happen before though. When it freezes my cursor turns into the like rainbow spinning ball if you know what I mean, I'd like to know how to fix this! :D
Sorry for making another thread but for some reason I can't reply to my own topic but here are my screenshots:
It was about how my sims keeps freezing after like 10 seconds my cursor turns into the rainbow spinning ball, also how do i reply on my own topic haha

I had the Nraas story progression and overwatch mod downloaded, deleted it and it didn't make any difference.

@ThanksTacoo The new thread isn't an issue; it's easy enough to merge with your existing one. And your English is more than fine.
Please try turning down all your graphics options to the minimum, as soon as you load the game to the Main Menu. Switch to windowed mode (cmd-return), and quit. Restart and see whether you have the same issue. If you don't, you can turn up one or two settings at a time and see how it goes.
If it does help to turn down the settings, but turning up on in particular brings the issue back, I'd be interested to know which setting that is. You're not the first person to report the same problem.

Hi,
So I've been having the same problems as everyone else and I think I figured it out. My game was shutting down as soon as I loaded a family, so I tried reinstalling, deleting my mods, clearing caches, etc. and none of them worked. Turned down my settings to low and put it in windowed mode and it worked fine, but when I try to take it back to full screen that's when it crashes again. I think it's the game being in full screen that makes it shut down, and perhaps the settings don't actually need to be on the lowest options!

- 5 years ago@ThanksTacoo Im having the same problem... The longest time I've been able to play is like 30 mins without crashing, and that's lowering the settings a lot.
