My game started to have endless loading screens. First with certain lots, but it spread like wildfire in the save and soon I couldn't acces most lots&households. (it was a huge save)
I have no mods...
Ideas
Not all people can or want to use other versions of macOS. Some people are using Big Sur for example and they can't upgrade.
The game should work, the computer meets the requirements.

Correct which is why I asked if there is a specific reason the OP is running Monterey however my reply is addressed just to the OP who has an M1 Pro which can run the current version of macOS, Sequoia.

In an ideal world yes of course however improvements in OSs and further support often facilitate an improved experience. A 2012 MacBook Air meets the requirements to run the game but the gaming experience on such a machine is dreadful, to the point of not being able to run properly. There are improvements to Metal that Apple have made which are reflected in later versions of macOS. Not all tech support and advice is, and can be, as simple as you're stating.
I understand. I see now it was just clarification question, not 'judging' one. I'm a little sensitive here because people many times say: 'just update to Sequoia'. Well, give me new Mac that can do that and maybe I will -_-
However, I can't agree that gaming experience is dreadful on older machines. It's not best idea to play on them on maxed settings but otherwise it works fine (I enjoy it and prefer that than not playing at all).
BTW: with each macOS updates new things are introduced (not necessarily better ones). I was perfectly happy on Mojave and regret going Big Sur. I know it's newer, it's suppose to be better but in terms of funcionality it just goes down.
