Crashing after Cottage Living Update
Hi! My game is suddenly crashing randomly after the Cottage Living update ... It has never ever crashed before this update and I don't know what to do! I use mods but they are all updated and workin...

The game does seem to work after I start clean, I would assume it's an issue with one of my mods? My problem is that once my game crashes, It continues to crash and not go past the first loading screen until I take out my whole Sims 4 folder and repair the game. I noticed that it still crashes even if I remove just the mods folder which has never happened before.
And yes, I have the Macbook Air 2020 with the M1 chip.

Yeah, definitely a Mod issue. You need to move them all out and then back in in batches, testing after adding each batch until it breaks again. There was another update today so maybe some Mods broke again.

I was able to play on the new account, at least through CAS and a few minutes after, but when I went to try on the main (admin) account, it crashed again.

Great 🙂 That would indicate something is running in your normal account, either a background app or a process, that may be causing the crash. Can you remember installing anything before the crashing started, apart from updating the game?
Also, which specific model Mac do you have? Year, model and CPU.@BluebellfloraI didn't install anything new between when I last played and started troubleshooting (obvs I did the Origin reset and all the troubleshooting stuff). The only apps I have running are Chrome (which I've always have open) and Sims 4, plus the ever-present Origin client. I
