Sims 4 Mac keeps crashing on initial loading screen with update for how to fix
Hello,
I purchased the Sims 4 for my mac yesterday and was able to play for about 2-3 hours, stopping and starting a couple times and the game worked pretty fine. It was a little laggy but turning off the retina display fixed that. However since last night evreytime I try to open the sims 4 through origin client it gets to the plum bob load screen, freezes, stops playing any sound, and eventually a few seconds later just glitches out and returns me to my desktop and closes the sims 4 completely and asks me to send an error report to apple(which I've done, probably no help but whatev).I've tried restarting, didn't work. I have no mods or CC downloaded either, just the base game and holidays pack. My mac book is pretty new, its only 2 1/2 years old and has the latest OS. I'll list my specs below. I just want to play sims again I've been playing since 99 and EA is seriously letting me down between this and my simcity issues I'm still having 2 years later. Any help please!
MacBook Pro Retina, 13-ince, Late 2012
Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.9.5 (13F344)
UPDATE: ok so after doing a little reading I realized it had something to do with my integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics card and how I had customized my graphics settings in game. You can fix this issue by doing this: go into Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 and move your Options.ini file onto your desktop. Your game will recreate a new one.
- Yes it's working fine now, just can't put the graphics quality above low.
