The Sims 3 Season keeps crashing on my MAC HELP!!!
I have the latest MAC Pro model and it doesn't make since it keeps crashing. I even tried on my Dell computer and it crashed. Can someone help me please!? How did you guys get it to work on MAC?

I've been having the same problem. I can't remember if it started when I got Seasons, but it annoys me so **bleep** much.
I've never had a problem with my game crashing. Maybe once in a while. But now...
It keeps freezing, not reacting and eventually crashing.
I've checked with my dad (because of graphic card, etc.) and we are pretty much up to date. We have double the RAM (Video and normal), more than 600 GB free space. I've reinstalled everything. Chronologically. I've been playing absolutely vanilla. I've turned down the graphics to the lowest settings. I've turned off store mode (or whatever it is called). I've closed EVERYTHING in the background. Even my printer server. I've played offline. I've tried absolutely everything. It keeps crashing after like 20/30 minutes. I am absolutely desperate for help. I thought that the newest patch might help. It didn't.
So PLEASE, let's keep trying and annoy EA as much as possible!

Our QA Team is still looking into this. We will update this thread with any new information we get.
Same problem, on a mac system that corresponds to the supported EA Specs:
Late 2008 MacBook Pro, 2.53 Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForde 9600M GT 512 MB, 750 GB Hybrid HD running Lion 10.7.5.
Flawless performance until EP09
Then, continual game crashing related to un-rendered store item thumbnails causing cider to crash. Related notes from Console system LOG:

I really wonder how can EA still look at this since November. What a shame! And do you really believe that you will update us with any new information? I don't. If you did, we would have already been informed at least 4 months ago!
Is it that hard to solve problems for such a big company? How do you even dare to release the games by printing "compatible with Mac" on the boxes?
Seriously, this is getting really boring and annoying. Pay 500USD and this is the support you get.
WOW. Thank you EA. I appreciate that you steal our money.
This is one of their longest running franchises and even the Windows players are having crashes and lockups with no response from EA to them either. This issue has been going on for months and its as if they don't even want to be bothered. And they wonder why they were rated Worst Company in America for 2012.
