Sims 3 Keeps crashing on mac while travelling
I seem to be having some trouble playing the sims 3. I got the full set with all expansion and stuff packs, except sweet treats and outdoor. Basically the game loads up without a problem but whenever...

Well I did lower my graphic settings which didn't seem to work as I thought it would. I did eventually manage to get my sims to university and save the game. I did purge my ram throughout the saving and low and behold it worked. I've even been able to save and quit the game as well. Thanks for the advice. If I have any more trouble then I'll let you know. I did however turn off interactive loading whilst traveling as well to be on the safe side.
Great 🙂
Well that's until I got the point of returning home after my sims graduated. Now I can't return home without the exception raised bug just as the loading bar moves to the halfway point. So now my sims are stuck at university! I just don't know what is up with this game? One minute my sims are able to travel without a problem and now they can't even return home!😠
That's the RAM issue again. And your graphics card struggling. Travelling is a very intensive part of the game as the game engine has to close one part of the game (the place you're leaving) and compute everything for the place you're travelling to. Not just your Sim but all the other households, weather if Seasons is installed, loads of variables. Cider only makes it all worse.
If you want to play a smoother game you should seriously consider Boot Camping your Mac and installing Windows. So many Mac Simmers have done it. It's a shame to have to do it but sometimes is the only answer.
Yeah you're right there. I have bootcamp and windows on my macbook anyway so all I gotta do is just install the sims 3 on there. It does seem like a pain though to go through the whole installation process all over again and start a fresh sim(s). Especially when I've got them so far and created such a pleasant world for them too. I just hope that if I install the sims 3 on bootcamp I can take my sims save(s) from here to there. Can you do that? Or will I have to start from scratch?
