Thanks. Let's add your Apple silicon chip to the Graphics file and see if it helps.
If you've previously added the GraphicsCards.sgr file to the ConfigOverride folder in your Sims 4 folder, trash it.
Right click on the base game app in your Applications folder, or wherever you have the game installed and select Show Package Contents.
Navigate to Contents > Resources and open the GraphicsCards.sgr file using TextEdit.
Scroll all the way down to the bottom until you see the Apple section:
vendor "Apple" 0x106B
card 0x0000 "Apple A12Z" $cardLevelUber $resolutionHigh
card 0x0000 "Apple M1" $cardLevelUber $resolutionHigh $cardLevelUber
card 0x0000 "Apple M1 Max" $cardLevelUber $resolutionHigh $cardLevelUber
card 0x0000 "Apple M1 Pro" $cardLevelUber $resolutionHigh $cardLevelUber
end
Create a new line, copy/paste the M1 line and replace it with M2 so it looks like this:
vendor "Apple" 0x106B
card 0x0000 "Apple A12Z" $cardLevelUber $resolutionHigh
card 0x0000 "Apple M1" $cardLevelUber $resolutionHigh $cardLevelUber
card 0x0000 "Apple M1 Max" $cardLevelUber $resolutionHigh $cardLevelUber
card 0x0000 "Apple M1 Pro" $cardLevelUber $resolutionHigh $cardLevelUber
card 0x0000 "Apple M2" $cardLevelUber $resolutionHigh $cardLevelUber
end
Save and quit then try and load your game.
@Bluebellflora Thank you so much, for your help.
I did that, and now when I check the Config.log it shows this: Number: 0
Name (driver): Apple M2
Name (database): Apple M2 [Found: 1, Supported: 1]
However, when I run the game - same issues, even though I restarted it a few times.
Should I repair it? Thank you.
