My sims 3 64 bit and metal keeps crashing minutes into playing a save

I have the Sims 3 64-bit and Metal on my Macbook Air version 12.7. I am able to launch the game with no issues and the game keeps running smoothly. Suddenly, the game crashes minutes into me actually playing a save. It used only to happen when I would press M to go to the map, but now it just randomly happens without me doing anything. I don't have any custom content or mods. This just recently started yesterday. Please help a girl out!!!

    Yes and I can rotate it while holding objects that weren't in the inventory but from the store menu.

    @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.
