Sims 4 Crashing on Loading Screen
Hey everyone, I am experiencing a problem with my Sims 4 game and need some help. I ran the game as normal a few days ago, saved and exited. Two days later I opened EA, downloaded an expansion pack, and went to run the game. The game did not get past the loading screen before crashing. I got this error in the crash report:
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000000
Exception Note: EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY
Termination Signal: Segmentation fault: 11
Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 0xb
Terminating Process: exc handler [21764]
Can anyone help? I have no clue why this is happening, I did not download any new mods. I am extremely unfamiliar with code so I have been unable to find an answer that is clear enough.
I use a macbook pro (M1 2020 model) and a hard drive to run my game. I have not had any issue like this before, and have been using the hard drive for over a year now. Thank you in advance!
