Re: sims 3 64 bit & metal keeps crashing?
Well, my game is crashing nearly every 15 minutes after I launch it...And I don't know what to do. I already tried to repair it via Origin but that doesn't help. The mac crash error says: Crashed...

@attil00 Please try a clean Sims 3 folder, as described earlier in the thread. Please also attach your deviceconfig.log, in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3. You can delete the user and computer names, about 25 lines down, but there's nothing else in the file that would identify you.
I’ve backed up my folder but I’m not sure I understand how to start an entirely empty new folder. Should I just delete the entire “The Sims 3” folder?
@attil00 If you remove the folder from Documents > Electronic Arts, whether you delete it or just put it elsewhere, the game will create a new folder when you next open the launcher.
Got it. Ok I did what you said and ran a new save for about a half hour. The game never crashed but it did freeze several times (rainbow wheels and a couple of black screens), becoming progressively slower as time went on. I've attached a copy of the DeviceConfig.log As the game didn't crash, I won't be able to upload a crash report, but I've pasted some of the text from the crash report the last time my game crashed below.

Double-click on the Sims 3 icon to get an additional pop-up window. Please take a couple of screenshots of these two windows at different points and upload them to a post. The screenshots should look something like this:
You can black out your username in the rightmost column if you want, but the rest of the information in the window is useful.
