Re: Sims 4: Cannot Save Sims in CAS

I can try resetting Origin. I reset it a few days before this issue started in my game so I'm not sure if that will work.

@jordyndda Do you really only have 4 GB RAM installed? From your other specs, I'd expect it to have shipped with 8 GB. That may be exactly the problem, though. TS4 is not my area of expertise, but from your specs, I would suspect that your computer is running out of memory. You have only 4 GB RAM installed, and High Sierra could be taking almost 3 GB of that. TS4 is easier to run on weaker hardware than its immediate predecessor, but a little over 1 GB of available memory isn't nearly enough for the game to maneuver, especially in CAS.

An interesting thought. My computer is one of the older models that did ship with 4GB RAM. I might have to look into this a bit more. It's run for quite some time without an issue with High Sierra installed, but maybe it has come to that point.

@jordyndda You can keep an eye on RAM use in the Activity Monitor (in Applications\Utilities). You'd have to be in windowed mode to switch back and forth, of course, but you could see how close you were to running out of memory at any given time. This guide is for TS3, which requires frequent RAM purges during gameplay (at least in mac OS), but it might help you too:
