Sims 4 keeps crashing on my MAC Air

Question

Sims 4 keeps crashing and I don't know how to fix it. Sometimes I can't even open the game and other times when I do open the game I can only play it for 1 minute before it crashes again without warning. At first, I thought the problem had to do with my EA file being synced up to my iCloud drive and me running out of storage on it. So I removed it from the drive and placed it in the local Documents folder but the game is still crashing. I have checked my mods by using Better Exceptions and Curseforge but there is nothing wrong apart from BE saying there is an issue with my sims timeline but it is not caused by any mods (This happened 2 weeks ago but I haven't had this exception since). I also have an exception file from the mod but it states that the mod has nothing to do with the exception in the text file.

Heres the Last Crash exception:

@kingklownie Your game is modded, moved to the Game and Mod Issues forum.

Move the entire Sims 4 folder to the desktop then launch the game so it is like new with none of your current user data. Start a new save and attempt to play. Does it work?

The game worked completely fine when I started a new game

@kingklownie

Then you need to figure out what is causing the issue in your old Sims 4 folder. Start by moving your CC/Mods into the newly created Mods folder in small batches, testing to see if the game loads after each batch. Do the same with your saves. When the game stops loading after adding a batch of files you know the problem is in that batch.
