my sims 4 keeps crashing

@alero90

That crash report doesn't provide anything helpful apart from state which version of macOS you are on.

Please try a whole new clean Sims 4 folder as explained here and see if you can play https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612394#M163

Crash report, This is after I made a clean folder

This has been happening to me too for the last couple of days. I have restarted my computer, updated origin, repaired the game, set up a new folder and tried taking out all of my script mods. The only thing I haven’t tried is removing my cc but when I did that the game wasn’t loading at all. Here is my last crash report. I’m grateful for any help! Thanks!
