Well it wasn’t completely consistent before either. At one point changing to the Sims 3 camera stopped my crashing for an entire day, then it all of a sudden started doing it again.

Anyways, this is awfully frustrating I wish there was a way to roll back the last update. I literally upgraded the RAM and video card on this computer to play Sims.

Anyone have any updates or continued issues? I'm still having crashes - was working fine for a day or so and can barely play now. Mac OS recently had an update, something to do with graphics cards but this didn't seem to help either.

So frustrating ☹️.

@aftksims I gave up. Too frustrating. Waiting to see if maybe the october patch will fix it but tbh I really doubt it.

Still happening to me with yesterday's update. This is really ridiculous. Sometimes I can play for an hour, other times it freezes up in the first 10 minutes. How has this not been addressed yet? There seems to be quite a few of us with this issue. Grrrr.
