    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.

    Ok so apparently it has only worked when I turned the lights and tree detail at the lowest settings, so I think it is the solution. Now I'm going to take the risk to reinstall the pets EP and we will see. But many thanks for your help !
