Re: The Sims 3 Season keeps crashing on my MAC HELP!!!

My Sims 3 Into the Future crashes after 5 minutes of trying to create a sim. I just dowloaded Into the Future, Generations, and University Life from Origin. I also have Pets, Late Night, Ambitions, Supernatural, Highend Loft Stuff, Town Life Stuff, and World Adventures installed with disc. I just updated all the patches and tried uninstalling and reinstalling all of the games but still no luck. I have a Macbook Pro 15-inch, Mid-2012 2.6GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB, OS X 10.9.2. This is what the error message says after it crashes

    Hi tutt0122

    You are running out of free memory while playing. It's a problem resulting from the way Cider was used to make the game compatible for Macs. Using CAS is a particular memory-hog.

    You can reset your RAM while playing. See BluebellFlora's guide on how to do this: http://bluebellflora.com/the-sims-3-on-a-mac/resetting-ram-during-gameplay/

    When using CAS I purge RAM very often. Even then, you may find that you cannot use CAS for extended periods of time.
