Re: The sims 3 keeps spontaneously crashing on my brand new MacBook Pro
@ba30f90b1f244f81 If you happen to be playing in Bridgeport, please try Sunset Valley instead. Bridgeport can be somewhat unstable in the 64-bit Mac version, although it seems to vary from one person to the next.
Otherwise, please create a new admin user account on your Mac and try playing there. Don't sign in with your Apple ID (you can skip that step), and don't bring over any content from your current user files: no saves, no mods or custom content, etc. Just start a new save, again in Sunset Valley, and see how it runs. Either way, this will help narrow down the source of the crashes.
The blocky eyelashes is a known issue in this version of Sims 3:
The only workaround is to set the eyelash length to the minimum, or use a mod to remove them entirely, and apply cc eyelashes instead: at least some cc is unaffected.
I'm not sure whether the mouse pointer switching back and forth is related to the crashing or not. Do you notice it immediately before a crash? Even if whatever triggers it isn't causing a crash every time, it would be interesting to know whether there's an association. Please also let me know whether you play in fullscreen or windowed mode.
