Since 3 or so updates ago, my game has been crashing mid-play. I can be playing from anywhere to a few minutes to a few hours and it will just pause suddenly and close itself out. These are the last two crash reports that my Mac stored:

Any help or advice is much appreciated!
I do have mods and CC, I checked yesterday and all of my mods are up to date, no CC causing any issues that I know of.
Try moving the whole mods folder to another place, delete the localthumbcache.package and then test to see if the issue remains without mods/cc there.
Hi rosemow, thanks for the reply!
When you say 'move the mods folder to another place', where do you recommend I move it to?
I've merged your thread into this ongoing Mac master thread. Please see the opening post and follow the instructions to test a completely new clean game, don't just move out your Mods folder as this doesn't always work. If you're still having issues post back with all the info requested.
