sims 4 crashing April 2024

My sims 4 game keeps crashing on my 2019 MacBook Pro. Every time I click play and get to the first loading screen, it will load but then suddenly crash before I can get to any screen for gameplay. I have tried following multiple boards. I have repaired the game, uninstalled origin, removed my mods folder, deleted mod files that I suspected had a bug, cleared origin's cache, etc.

The only time that the game functioned properly removed my sims 4 folder and let it generate a new one and then I had to play a new save file then.

Please help! I don't know how to fix this and it has been going on for a whole week. I updated my laptop, origin, and the sims game with no luck. ☹️((

    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!

    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.

    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.
