Mac] Frequent Crashes After Installing Enchanted by Nature - No Mods
Frequent Crashes After Installing Enchanted by Nature (No Mods) – Multiple Households/Worlds + CAS Crashes
Platform: Mac
Game Version: 1.124.63.1220
System:
MacBook Pro (Apple M5)
16 GB Unified Memory
macOS 26.5.1
No mods or custom content installed.
Recently installed:
Enchanted by Nature Expansion Pack
Dream Home Decorator Game Pack
Issue:
After installing Enchanted by Nature and Dream Home Decorator, my game began crashing frequently. The crashes occur across multiple households and worlds and are not limited to a single save file.
The game closes directly to desktop with no error message.
Affected households/worlds:
Horse Ranch household/world (owned long before installing the new packs)
Enchanted by Nature world
Multiple households within the same save
Troubleshooting performed:
Repaired game through EA App.
Deleted localthumbcache.package.
No mods or CC installed.
Renamed the Sims 4 folder and allowed the game to generate a completely fresh user folder.
Tested with a brand-new save.
Results:
A completely fresh Sims 4 folder significantly improved stability.
I was able to play for several hours without crashing.
After copying only my saves folder into the new Sims 4 folder, gameplay remained stable for several hours.
Crashes eventually returned.
Additional information:
Crashes were occurring before I edited any Fairy Sims.
During some crashes, I had testingcheats true and cas.fulleditmode enabled, although I was not actively using them at the time.
More recently, crashes have occurred while editing Fairy NPCs in CAS.
The CAS crashes occurred while changing appearance, clothing, and romantic/sexual preferences.
The crash happened before I could click the checkmark to confirm changes.
The same crash has occurred with multiple Fairy NPCs.
Crash information:
categoryid: 0x13c0e8c
Multiple crash logs show the same category ID.
Modded: False
Num Save Errors: 0
Num Load Errors: 0
Crash timing:
Several crashes occurred after approximately 3–4 minutes of gameplay.
Other sessions lasted several hours before crashing.
At this point I am unsure whether the issue is related to Enchanted by Nature generally, Fairy Sims specifically, CAS interactions, or another interaction introduced by the recent expansion/update. I am posting in case others are seeing similar crashes and to provide information for investigation.
