@lizziefeath The Pets expansion doesn't run well on integrated Intel graphics like yours. In fact, your graphics chip is below the minimum requirement for 64-bit Sims 3, although that doesn't mean you can't play at all, as you're seeing.
If you don't need the content in your game, I'd suggest uninstalling Pets entirely. You can do so by removing the EP05 folder from the "The Sims 3 Packs" folder, which in turn will be in either Applications or Users > your username > Applications. You'd need to start a new save—removing an EP from a save that's already been exposed to it is a surefire way to corrupt the save.
If you do want to keep the pack, there's a mod-related way to severely limit the number of actual pets in the game. It might take some experimenting to get things right; let me know if you're interested.
At the very least, I would suggest testing with Pets uninstalled to see how much of a difference it makes. Please test in Sunset Valley first, since it's the most stable of the EA-made worlds.
I'll try running the game with pets uninstalled since I don't really use the features at all and I'll let you know if anymore problems occur. Thank you for your help!
Did that work for you?
@elimaximoff If you need help with your game, please describe what you're seeing when you try to play, for example when the game crashes and whether you get an error message. Please also list the full specs of your Mac: everything under About This Mac including the OS and except for the serial number.
Finally, please list the expansion and stuff packs you currently have installed and the world(s) in which you're trying to play.
Hey there,
I have the same issue here... My save isn't that old but I have built my own house in Monte Vista which I'm trying to decorate etc. And especially when moving things from the family inventory to the house my game just suddenly crashes. It had crashed already before that occasionally but right now it's almost impossible to finish this house in build-mode...
I do have store content and the additional towns downloaded from the internet for free, so that could be a reason but it would hurt to have to remove them.
My addons are Pets, Late Night, World Adventures, Ambitions, Generations, Seasons, Supernatural, University Life, Island Paradise, Town Life Acc.
My specs:
MacBook Air 2024, 15 inch
Apple M3, 16GB RAM
MacOS Sequoia 15.0.1.
I also have some NRAAS mods.
Thank u already D:
