The Sims 3 Crashes Unexpectedly (M1)
Hello guys! So I have a MacBook Air (M1, 2020) and my Sims 3 crashes. I have turned off syncing my Documents folder to my iCloud, turned off Shop Mode and Memories, and graphics are at a medium leve...
Forum Discussion
@theoplayss What world(s) are you playing in? Do you use mods and custom content? It's fine if you do, but that does need to be taken into account.
@puzzlezaddict both Bridgeport and Sunset Valley (I have no other worlds). No CC or mods exist. I did delete a couple of packages files in Documents/ The Sims 3/ but it only maximised my play time to about an hour (bare in mind I shut my macs screen during the game, and after reopening and continuing the game, it lasted about 20 minutes)
@theoplayss Does this happen if you don't shut your laptop screen? Are you playing with the laptop plugged in the whole time, or are you running on battery?
- @puzzlezaddict It has happened before with laptop screen always on (like 9 out of the 10 times that happened). I always play my games while being plugged.
@theoplayss What version of macOS are you running?
Have you noticed anything happening around the time of the crashes? It could be a certain sim-time of day, or a sim interacting with a certain object. For example, trying to use the climbing wall from the store causes an instant crash, and if you placed one somewhere in the world, another sim could attempt to use it without your noticing.
Please also try playing while your computer is offline. You can sign into Origin and put the game in offline mode, then disable wifi before pressing Play.
