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.
I currently have Seasons, Generations, Pets, Supernatural and High-End lot stuff pack. Keep in mind even with base game only the game still crashes, and it can happen at any time. Right now i opened the game and it crashed within the first 3 minutes of playing it - just randomly. I have no cc, no mods, installed nraas with overwatch and saver but it barely does anything.

@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.
Tried playing like this - deleted electronic arts folder and turning off the wifi as well as creating a new family to play with seems to have done a trick for a longer gameplay. However, after an hour or so it crashed yet again randomly. As for the antivirus - I dont have it on my computer. I guess this game is just too broken to be played...
