Sims 4 Keeps Crashing - Mac Error
Hi, My game keeps on routinely crashing every time I boot up the game. I have created a new folder every time this happens, which fixes the game for a few times I boot up, but then starts crashing a...

When creating a new Sims 4 Folder, I do move each folder in one by one, and I get no issues upon reboot. I thought this was caused by my script mods, since it usually happens after I turn on the script mods, however even with script mods out of my game it still will sometimes crash.
What do you recommend doing? Will this just be an issue that can't be solved – and a stronger gaming computer will be needed?

Does it only happen after you've added the script mods back in then taken them out again? Or does it happen before you've added them back in, after playing a clean game for a while?
If the issue is related to Monterey you will need to wait for either EA to fix it, or for a future Apple update which may change whatever the trigger is.
If it's Mod related you need to test adding them back in one at a time, finding out the culprit.
I suspect it is a mixture of these two things. With regards to the Mac, the more content you add to your game the more your Mac will struggle to run it. It is difficult to sometimes troubleshoot on low spec machines because performance will always be compromised.
I would try a clean folder again and play it for several hours without adding in any of your Mods, see if it happens again and how frequently.

@Bluebellflora I've noticed it happening more often after I enable script mods and try to restart my computer. However, when taking the script mods out, my game still crashes and I get the same error, so it makes me think something else is wrong? I've also tried taking out all the mods and still I get an error and my game crashes.

No, that's why I asked if it was happening before you added them or only after. If it's only happening after you add them, even if you then remove them, it is the Mods. There will be data in your saves and cache files relating to the Mods.So does that mean it could be one specific mod? Should make a new Sims 4 folder and use the troubleshooting method to see which mod it is? And if it is corrupting my saves and cache, does that mean I need to create a new folder every time it crashes?
If I haven't said it already, thank you for your help! This has been such a headache for me and has only started happening the last couple days.
