ScarletTurtles Try switching Advanced Rendering off, if it's on, or vice versa. Strangely, I've had mixed reports about whether it should be on or off for best performance on your class of Mac.
You can also try turning Lighting and Tree Detail to their lowest settings. And you can do one at a time if you prefer, so you don't have to compromise the graphics more than necessary.
When changing the graphics options, do so at the Main Menu, then quit to desktop before loading a save.
By the way, any sims you've created and managed to save, which happens automatically when you leave Create a Household and land back on the map, should still be available in the in-game bin. So you don't have to recreate the ones you made already.
