Re: Sims 4 crashing, macOS Mojave

I'm having the same issue, I'm on Mojave 10.14.1 and even after completely deleting my Sims 4 folder on my laptop my game still crashes after about 1 minute of game play. Doesn't matter what I'm doing in-game. I've tried repairing the game about 4 times and still find that it's crashing. Any ideas?

Have you updated your OS as @dzm06 has suggested above?

Heads up!
I updated to Catalina and the game works again. Try that!

Why did you download the Legacy Edition? This may help you understand what it is actually for and why you don't need it - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/The-Sims-4-Legacy-Edition-thread/m-p/8420037#M22694

What problem are you having?

@Bluebellflora i had a message saying ''unable to start : initialization error at start up'' ... i uninstalled origin and sims 4 and reinstalled it, and it worked but now this morning i'm trying to connect to origin and it says origin servers temporarily unavailable .. but it keeps doing that, when i will ever be able to play !! haha
