Follow these steps to launch a new clean game - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612394#M163
Does it still happen with none of your current user data in the new Sims 4 folder?
Please provide more information about your Mac. Instructions on how to do so and what to provide here - http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612396/highlight/true#M162
Thank you for responding!
Turns out the issue was a super niche bug I was not aware of. I was most recently playing on the cottage living expansion pack and trying to trade my chickens for various things ie. money, produce, animal treats etc, all at the same time. I would always attempt this first thing after loading my game, since it was the last thing I left off doing, and my game would always immediately crash which led me to think my game was broken or my save files were corrupted. Turns out, after finally googling after months of this confusion, that there's an extremely niche bug that will cause TS4 to crash anytime you attempt to trade in your chickens for anything but money. So I finally tried to trade my chickens for just money and it worked! My game no longer crashes!
Super weird issue but I appreciate your help. I'm writing this all in case someone happens to experience the same issue and stumbles across my post 🙂
