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...

Hey,
Firstly, thank you so much for all your help. I wanted to start with a new household and new save so no pets, but, it is still installed and tbh I don't know how to uninstall it but I will try. I will take the entire Sims 3 folder out of documents and hopefully, that works. If it does will I be able to reinstall objects from the stall and is it worth putting in Naars in too?
The laptop is fine and has good airflow and wasn't overheating so it wasn't that unfortunately.
Thank you and I'll get back to you!
@idacombley To uninstall a pack, simply delete its folder from the Sims 3 Packs folder, which will be in either Applications or Users > your username > Applications. The folder for Pets is EP05: Pets was the fifth expansion released.
Yes, you should be able to reinstall your store stuff, or you can just move the relevant files from the old Sims 3 user folder to the new one. Let me know if you need help with this process.
- @puzzlezaddict have there really been any improvements to the crashes?
Have people really found that starting with a new game save works?
I have tried everything you have said and all have failed.
Can EA please advise! @hellerhippo There are many reasons the game crashes, some (but not nearly all) of which are user error. So the place to start is with some info and basic troubleshooting.
Please list the full specs of your Mac: everything under About This Mac except for the serial number. Please also list the packs you've installed.
As a troubleshooting step, please move your entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop. When you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. Don't add anything to it yet; just start a new save and let me know how the game runs. It's best to play in Sunset Valley, the most stable EA world, to set a baseline for performance.
