@jadasimsxox The issue here may unfortunately be the Pets expansion. Sometimes it's enough to play without any pets the active household, and sometimes the entire pack needs to be removed. But it's obvious from the many reports that the content doesn't work well on Macs with your category of hardware.
If you'd like to try intermediate steps, e.g. removing pets from your save and using mods to prevent them from spawning, let me know. Otherwise, your only move may be to uninstall Pets, which you can do by simply deleting the EP05 folder from the Sims 3 Packs folder, which will be in either Applications or Users > your username > Applications.
Not sure where to go from here?

@jadasimsxox Playing a save without all its expansions usually doesn't work, as in, the save will crash, fail to load, or maybe just run very poorly. So if you can't play with Pets installed, you'll need to start a new save.
If you really want to try to recover this save, there are mod-related ways to move out the dog or even remove all animals from the world. But it kind of defeats the purpose of playing with the expansion at all. Let me know what you'd like to do.
- 5 years ago@puzzlezaddict I'd probably just have to start a new save unfortunately. Just in case for the future, if I want to recover the save, could you direct me to the mod that would let me do this? Thanks

@jadasimsxox NRaas MasterController can remove any sim, including pets, from the world; the command is called "Total Annihilation" and can be applied to any subset of sims you want. NRaas Register controls the stray population and can set it to zero for each type of stray or wild animal. NRaas Overwatch can shut down the neighborhood pet adoption scenario, which may also be a problem.
So this is more a piecemeal attempt to control things rather than one sweeping fix. I don't even know if it's possible to completely prevent the crashing due to animals that many players are seeing, other than uninstalling Pets entirely. But those are the mods you'd use to try. If you want help adjusting their settings, feel free to ask here or on the NRaas site.
