build mode crashing/freezing

Every time I enter build mode within a minute the screen almost fully freezes and the only thing that doesn't is my mouse. I can freely move it and see it move around the screen. the only thing I can interact with is the objects in the build items bar at the bottom of the screen. when this happens I have no way of making any changes in build mode and have no way to save or exit the game. this has made it impossible to build. the only way to exit is to force my Mac computer to shut down. I have repaired the sim 4 multiple times and have never installed/downloaded many mods or CC. this problem started about 2 weeks ago and hasn't stopped. this happens in every world and every lot I have tried ti build on.

    Does this happen in windowed mode, fullscreen, or both? If in windowed mode can you use Force Quit to quit the game?

    Which specific Mac do you have? Model, year, version of macOS please.

    Can you change to windowed mode and see if the crashing still happens?

    Are you running an old version of macOS for a specific reason? Can you update to the current version Sequoia 15.3.1 in System Settings?

    Le crash est toujours présent peu importe le mode d'affichage. La dernière version Sequoia est installée... rien ne fonctionne

  • after updating my computer and the sims 4 I have been able to build for a few hours and it hasn't frozen
