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:

@Rominaroe I can't help with a game that has any cracked content at all, sorry. But if you're willing to remove that content, and you still get crashes, try placing the items first without rotating them, then picking them up again.

Hey again, I understand your saying... I tried building in my house now with no mods installed and it instantly crashed after placing some items. I couldn't even place one item after taking it out of the inventory...
I also created a new sim in a different town like apaloosa plains and tried to build there for a few minutes and nothing happened. So maybe the specific save is the problem? I did move them from their old home to the one I built myself but I had no issues building it in the city-edit mode. It did crash a few times but not that bad. I'm lost :')

@0a56dbeea16932e7 When you say you own Vampires, do you mean Late Night or Supernatural? What world(s) are you playing in, and does it help to play in Sunset Valley instead? Bridgeport, which comes with Late Night, has some issues on any computer, and it seems to be especially problematic on Macs with integrated graphics, as yours has.
