@sweettweetyb13 I have that problem, too. Try running on low-medium settings with extras turned off. That's a different bug... that's been plaguing me for a LONG time. But it stopped freezing after I moved to low-medium default settings.

@RJBla Tried this, my settings were on low before. Tried low-medium too to see if it would change anything. It's still doing the things where the sims freeze and the day continues/ it won't pause.

I'm on a 2020 MacBook Air and also had all the crashing happen, anywhere from five to 30 minutes of game play. I've added in the -nosound stuff and managed to play a solid two hours (frantically saving every couple of minutes) without any freezing or crashing. All my settings are on low graphics, etc. I have all the packs and expansions and am even trying it out with my mods and CC in it, and it's still working! Fingers crossed it'll stay that way until they come out with a fix.

@sweettweetyb13 Update: After my second new game and doing all of the things suggested. I have been able to play for the last two hours without freezing or crashing. Hopefully, it stays this way.
