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
Mine is doing the same.
@JennaChristine When exactly is the game crashing: after you play for how long, if you do something specific in-game, etc.? Please also attach your deviceconfig.log, in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3. You'll need to manually open the folders; the file won't show up in a search. You can delete your user and computer names, about 25 lines down, but there's nothing else in that file that can identify you.
It isn't crashing exactly...it is freezing up every 30 seconds or so on my MacBook Pro and the rainbow pinwheel shows up like it's "thinking" for a few minutes. Then it unfreezes, but then 30 seconds later it does the same thing. Attaching my device log for you.
@JennaChristine Please try turning lighting and tree detail down to the minimum settings. I know the game doesn't look great like that, but it's a useful experiment. Someone else with the same issue and similar hardware to yours mentioned that those settings eliminated the freezing.
