I updated my game today with the new November 2020 update. It let me play for a little while (10-20) minutes before crashing. Nothing popped up on my screen and no error code either. The game just closed itself basically. I play on Mac.
Edit - edited title to reflect issue since the 10 November patch, 1.68. (Bluebellflora)
Fixed in the 17.11.20 hot fix patch 1.68.156.1220
Same issue with crashing and freezing. Never happened before the yesterday's update.
My system:
macOS 10.14.6
iMac (Retina 5K, 2019)
3.6 GHz Intel Core i9
32 GB 2400 Mhz DDR4
Radeon RX 580 8GB
Here is my exception:

I noticed it was all with the same save file, one that I had previous to updating, but rolled back to a previous version and (deleted the newer version). The sims were visiting a someone on Sulani, and live in Windenburg. I don't remember specifically what they were doing when the game crashed, but it happened 3 different times today.
attached are the config.log and last crash files. I play on a 2019 MacBook Pro (run from a USB drive due to teeny hard drive space...

Also having this issue, most recently in a new save, where at the time I was having my child sim playing with a friend. Didn't get a lastCrash generated for this though, but I do have uploaded the save if that would help: Sim Crashing Save. I saved it last rather soon before the crash. So far I've been able to do pure building without crashing too, it's live mode when it always crashes.
@Slashfan0216 I have not had ANY corruption problems with my save. The game just cleanly crashes. You should be okay on that front!
My game has also crashed twice since the November 2020 update, no script mods installed. Playing on macbook.
I have the same exact issue. Before this November update my game never crashed. Now it has crashed five times already. My sims weren't doing anything specific. The game crashed five times during something different. I also play on mac.
I’ve been having the same thing. No error code or anything, it’s like it’s been asked to shut down. The sound is sometimes disappearing too, which I can deal with, but the shutting down happening randomly is so frustrating. I’d been playing for 20 minutes, then it was probably an hour, then an hour and a half. I don’t know what triggers it!
Same here.
Time freezes ,lagging on sims activities,sims do not obey and Last exception appears everytime I play the game,
We need a fix patch ASAP
I spoke to EA Support yesterday and they said it was an issue on their end, which seems to be the case as all platforms are affected. The person I spoke to said it was being investigated so I think it's just a waiting game at this point sadly.
