Sims 3 64 bit on Mac keeps freezing
I started having this problem a few years ago and because I didn't discover what was causing this I ended up uninstalling the game. Today, I decided to see if I can finally play The Sims 3 on my comp...

Thank you for your help. I did what you suggested. I moved The Sims 3 Pets folder to the desktop and I also disabled the Advanced Rendering. I decided to try to play in Sunset Valey in the Goth family. I played for almost an hour. However, the game just went down by itself. But that is something that always happened to me, even with my previous PC. You were also right, without the Advanced Rendering, the graphics of the game aren't great, but at least the game works. I would like to know if I can be able to play with Pets as I love that pack. Do you think is possible?
@Ariellove23 Does the game work with Pets installed but on lower graphics settings? Does it matter what kind of pet your main household has? Horses and long-haired dogs have traditionally been more problematic to render than cats and short-haired dogs. There are mods that can prevent the spawning of strays and wild horses, and prevent inactive households from adopting pets (unless you instruct them to do so), although the latter one, NRaas StoryProgression, can be heavy on the wrong settings. Let me know if you're interested and if you can play with any pets at all.
It's worth noting that without the right mods, inactive households will adopt pets even when their houses are unsuitable for the animals, and the resulting routing failures can drag performance down and even crash the game. Aside from that, if for example you find that your computer can't handle horses, an inactive household adopting a horse would be a problem too, and you might not even know that was triggering crashes. But all of this is dependent on which pets your computer can reliably handle.
