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...

@puzzlezaddictTo be honest, I can’t really explain what happened. I just continued playing, and from time to time the screen continued to flicker, but it was playable. And then at one point it just froze, it looked like it was loading, but this happens every time it crashes. After that it just froze completely, nothing new or special happened. Maybe, I was able to play for that long because I started a completely new game, I don’t know.
It does get hot after some time, and if it started crashing, it actually gets hotter quicker.
I might try deleting everything and downloading it again. I feel like the fact that I managed to save a broken game once, and after that I played normally could have helped, I want to check that.
@alkuch Before you go to all the trouble of uninstalling and reinstalling, you may want to check your computer's internal temperatures. Among the causes of what you describe is overheating, and trying to play when the computer is already hot, like, say, immediately after a crash, will only give the heat issue a head start.
One comprehensive tool you can try is iStat, developed by Bjango. While it's a paid app, it does offer a 14-day free trial. Another useful tool is Macs Fan Control, by CrystalIDEA, which has a free version; although it doesn't read as many sensors as iStat, it should be sufficient for this purpose.
- @puzzlezaddict I do have an app which controls my temperature, and at the moment (while I am playing) it is about 62-66 degrees Celsius
@alkuch What temperature reading is that? I'm interested in CPU temps: the individual cores, the iGPU, the die, the package, anything like that. A proximity sensor might give a significantly lower reading, and the temps of other components are probably not relevant.
