This has just happened to me for the first time after a year of playing. But i am not a Mac user! The game seems to be stuck in some sort of mode that maybe developers only would use... only a few commands show up no matter what I click... reset, set front of lot, clone, delete it. I don't want to lose what I did just before this happened, but if I choose QUIT, it says I will exit without saving, and I can't find a save command (the menu with that and edit, two, etc. won't open.)
I hope someone reads and answers this soon... I'll be having Sims withdrawal...
thanks in advance

No, it had never happened before, in the year I've had it and I've been playing a LOT.
I had to be away from my computer for a few hours after I posted my request for help, and when I got back the game was still like that.
But I didn't realize that anyone would reply so quickly, so before I even looked back here, I went into Task Manager and clicked "end". Even that took longer than usual. I'll just have to replay the part of the game that wasn't saved. If it happens again, I'll go through the rest of the steps you recommended. Thank you SO MUCH for your speedy attempt at helping me!
It's a pleasure. Hopefully it won't happen again 😕mileyhappy:
