Can you all PLEASE dummy this down for me im having a very hard time understanding any of this and im having the same issue and its very frustrating. Edit - split from a Windows thread, edited title to better reflect issue (Bluebellflora)

@kdollasignnnn Please can you 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

@kdollasignnnn Ah yes sorry, I read that as High Sierra for some reason....!Move your whole Sims 4 folder to the desktop and then launch the game so a new one is created. Don't move any of your current data such as save and mods into the new folder. Start a new game and play for a bit through the seasons to see if it still happens.

@kdollasignnnn Sounds like it's a Mod causing the issue, it's not happening in a clean game. The only way to fix it is to figure out which Mod it is and remove it.This is not a Mac issue. Whilst your Mac specs are on the low side you should be able to play without the animation issue. Move your Mods into the new Mods folder created in the new Sims 4 folder in small batches, testing to see if it happens after adding each batch. Once it starts happening again you know the Mod causing the issue is in the last batch you added.Moving your thread onto the Game & Mods forum where people more familiar with Mods can help you. Mods are not platform specific so it doesn't matter whether you are on macOS or Windows.

@kdollasignnnn Please let me know what you're having trouble with, and I'll try to walk you through it.

Im having the same issue as the other person, almost 65% of the time my game gets stuck in a animation loop, my sim can be in an action & the time will freeze & my sim will continue stuck in that animation. it stops whenever i save the game or go to manage worlds but its still a consistent problem.

I'm currently playing through it, trying to do what I would usually do that would trigger the bug but no signs of it yet. I'm almost through the sim week so that seemed like it worked. Still what should I do about the old folder because I would hate to have to delete my mods especially after going through all of them to try and see which was the issue.
