Game keeps crashing on new Mac
I got a new Mac today and transferred my saves, trays, and mods from my old Mac to new one. The game continuously crashed. I removed all mods but kept in CC and tested it. Saves loaded fine. It ran ...

Hi bluebellflora, it's me again!
I've resorted to selling the laptop because the game just literally will not stop crashing. Even without mods or cc, when I placed a non-CC lot, it crashes and ruins the save (i.e that save gets stuck at loading). I have tried almost everything. The game and all my cc/mods work on my old computer, it's just terribly slow and lagging since it's old. But on my new Mac, the game just literally won't work right.
My question for you is, could the 256 gb ssd be the issue? I have almost every pack, and the tray files I use for the customized lots are extensive as well. Is it possible this mac can't support my content since it's only 256 gb SSD?
@thatdelanykid Where are you placing lots from? Could you try this, please?
- Drag the whole The Sims 4 folder out of Electronic Arts to the desktop. You won't end up with two of everything, so disk size won't become a bigger issue.
- Start the game.
- Select New and make a Sim so you can get to the map.
- Go to the Gallery and search for the user Maxis, which is official content, and then select Lots. Some are basegame lot types, like Spark Something Shell and Console Launch House.
- Place the lot, save, and go to the Main Menu.
- Use Load to relaunch that save.
This should give you clear test without any issues that are lingering in your user folder, including anything in your Tray file that could be a problem, and uses lots that shouldn't have placement issues.
Thank you so much, I will try this.
I still want to play my old save though. Can I move that back in and try or do you recommend starting a completely new save?
I've tried the latter and my game still crashed ☹️
@thatdelanykid Testing your old save can't hurt. You can try earlier versions of it too. If a new one works and the old one doesn't, in any version of it, then it's new save time.
