@Twohalfstrashcan , it sounds like several problems are occurring and these are some of the solutions.
1) You are playing with a Mod/CC that is very out of date or is not geared for the EPs/SPs you have installed and it is causing the game to "crash" so's to speak and not respond properly. Before adding them back, go back to the sites you downloaded those mods/CC from and insure that you are downloading the latest versions and that they are built specifically for the EPs/SPs you own. If you see a mod that is built for Freetime or Apartment Life, those will not work in your game as those EPs were never released on the Mac.
2) While the game has been updated to run 64 bit, it still can't handle a lot of CC. I would cull your CC so that you install only what CC you can't live without. Also, to insure that some of your CC isn't corrupted, install only a few pieces at a time, start up the game and see how it handles those pieces and then add a few more.
3) Like Sims 3 and 4, each household has a limit on the number of Sims that can live in each lot/house. I think the limit is either 6 or 8. I can't remember exactly.
4) And to make sure the game is working properly, you need to move your Sims 2 folder to your Desktop to allow the game to rebuild a new one. I know there is a thread on here detailing where to find the Sims 2 folder on the Mac as it isn't in Documents like the Windows version. It's under where to install CC on the Mac. If you can't find it, let me know and I will post the link for you later this evening.
Thank you for your reply.
I do believe that this is a cc problem and will do what you've advised on that but the problem with the sims not showing up has nothing to do with having too many in a household at a time.
I've tried to add 1 sim to a household of 2 and the glitch has happened.
@Twohalfstrashcan , that sounds like a CC or Mod error. Do you still need instructions on how to find the Sims 2 folder?
No, Thank you for you're time.
