@livsk20 I'd say this was a hardware issue - graphics interface not set right for your game, or maybe even finding the whole thing too heavy for it. I don't think it's a bug in the game itself. Maybe post in the Technical Issues section
It's been working fine for the past half a year though? I haven't changed any of the graphics recently, just downgraded them right at the beginning to make sure my laptop could cope, and the graphics only started playing up after the last patch.
would the new patch have increased demand to the point where my laptop couldn't cope with the graphics setting?
Please can you provide more information about your Mac. Instructions on how to do so and what to provide here - http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612396/highlight/true#M162
There have been several posts now from users with your model Mac, I'm assuming it's an Intel MBA and not one of the new M1 chip ones? Try repairing the game and if that doesn't solve it, trash the Options.ini file in the Sims 4 folder to reset the in-game graphics options.

I have repaired the game, uninstalled and reinstalled and set graphics to the lowest possible option, which has minimised the glitching to very occasionally, but it was running fine with "medium" graphics before ☹️ I will try your suggestion because i would like to increase the graphics if possible!
