@Salso0297 What world are you playing in, and does the game crash in Sunset Valley too? Does it crash if you put Origin into offline mode before launching Sims 3?
Game crashes in Sunset Valley even after repairing, deleting and installing sims 3 again. It has no mods, no cc, a family is brand new - really weird that it keeps randomly crashing. Any help how to fix it?

@mazeikaite Please let me know when the game crashes, if there's any pattern at all; or if there isn't, approximately how long you can play before a crash happens.
Please also list the full specs of your Mac: everything under About This Mac including the operating system and except for the serial number; and the expansion and stuff packs you currently have installed.

@mazeikaite Please try playing while your computer is offline, immediately after restarting it and with nothing else running in the background. You can open the EA App and put it in offline mode, then disable wifi before pressing Play.
If this doesn't help, move the entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, then try again to play while offline. This will remove, but not delete, your saves and other user data, which is fine and actually helpful for the purposes of this test. Let me know what happens.
If the game still crashes, please let me know whether you use a third-party antivirus or any kind of cleaner app.
