MUSIC AND RESOLUTION PROBLEMS THE SIMS 3

 

I installed The Sims 3 64-bit on a 2022 Mac Pro, and during gameplay, my save files often crash. Additionally, the music is distorted (I don't know how to describe it, but it's difficult to listen to), and there are occasional crashes. Another issue is the purple lines around the avatar, and in general, I can't adjust the resolution. At the start of the game, it tells me it doesn't recognize my graphics card. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLSSS

  • @koelnerjagoda  What world(s) are you playing in?  Do you use mods or custom content?  It's fine if you do; I just need to know either way, and it would help to test without mods and cc at least temporarily.

    The pink/purple lines around the avatar and the edge of the screen are a known issue on ARM Macs.  There's no workaround for it, but it's also not harmful.

    The limited resolution options are also a known issue, but one with workarounds.  Please see this post (19):

    The unrecognized graphics card message can be ignored as well, but you should only see it once, or the first time you create a new user folder.  If you're seeing it every time, please let me know whether iCloud Drive is active on this computer.
