    MaurineLejol  Please try playing with your computer offline.  You can sign into the EA App and put it in offline mode (the option is under Account in the menu bar at the top of the screen), then disable wifi before pressing Play.

    If that doesn't help, repeat the test except with Lighting and Tree Detail turned down to the lowest settings.  Please do so at the Main Menu, and quit to desktop before loading a save.

I kinda had the same Problems on my Mac. For me I started the Game and spent like 5 Minutes in game before it just closed itself. I don't know how I found out but for me it kinda works if I open the game and load into my save file and then cut off the internet connection. It still randomly crashes sometimes but at least I am able to play for more than 5 Minutes (I play around 2 hours a piece with this trick BUT I have to remember to save like every 10 minutes so my progress doesn't get lost)
