Ok, update - The recovered save file does the same crashing thing but I think I found what the issue - I would click resume game where my last played sim was and my game would crash but as soon as I clicked load game and clicked my last played household, it loaded. I just test played it and it did not crash!

Ok. Do you have any other saves or just one? If you have more, test them all individually.

I ran all other saves but they were all just blank new game saves, all of those seemed to run smoothly though. I only have one save with my previous game saved and that is the one that I had issues with crashing when trying to run it.

Ok. Did you try rolling back to a previous version of the broken save? https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/save-games/

Or do you have a manual Mac backup, or Time Machine backup you could try and restore a save from?

My game keeps crashing too, but I've managed to pin it down to something specific: When I try to build or edit anything close to the edge of one specific lot. I don't have any CC installed, and I built this very house yesterday, so something seems to have happened with today's update that causes the game to crash. I can edit other lots without any issue, but this particular one that I built yesterday, suddenly crashes today.

Can you start a new post with your issue please? This thread is for an entirely different issue.

I'm not sure what you mean by rolling back to a previous version of the broken save. I'm not sure what I should be looking for on the link that you provided.
I do have a time machine backup that I might be able to utilize. I will see if I can test that out.
