Re: sims 3 64 bit & metal keeps crashing?

Hello. This is my first time posting in a thread, so my apologies if I do something wrong.

My error says the following:

Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread

Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000000
Exception Note: EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY

Termination Signal: Segmentation fault: 11
Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 0xb
Terminating Process: exc handler [35949]

This is immediately after I start a new world and select household. I will try starting a new sims 3 file by deleting the ts3 file in electronic arts folder (which would mean starting everything over), this will most likely fix my issue, however outside of this, I do frequently experience crashes. At first I did experience any, but after a while it was once every couple of hours, then just yesterday it was once every 15-20 mins. Now I can't even start a new game. I do think the crashing will return eventually. Hence I'm asking here for advice on what can prevent them/make them less frequent.
