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
It is fixed!! Thanks!!
I updated, tested the game. I tried to go to all the broken lots and saves. And it works perfectly again! :) So the old Mac system was the problem.
I'm super glad the game is fixed. I've been sick for a while, playing sims keeps away the headaches and it gives me a creative outlet. Thanks Crinrict and Bluebellflora!!
Soanad, I agree the game should be running fine on older systems too. If you upgrade Mac a lot changes, I've had programs break because of it, sometimes files are not compatible anymore... Most of my family never upgrades for this reason actually. And that is if you can upgrade of course.
I used to love updates but not anymore. Updates usually made things better but recently that's not the case. I can't upgrade but that's fine, I don't have the issue you reported :) I'm glad it worked out for you!
AlyTortall Great! Sometimes it isn't that an older OS is the problem but rather that the OS has corrupted files, broken links and other errors. Simply reinstalling the current OS over the top of the existing installation would fix it.

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.
Opinions on whether new things that are introduced in OSs are better or not is simply subjective and how they would influence the way you use your machine and what you use it for. The jump from Mojave to Big Sur was massive, not least because Apple dropped all support for 32-bit apps, and not one that should have been taken lightly by users. I still have an older Intel machine running Mojave specifically for that reason. If you're unhappy using Big Sur, and you have a backup of your Mac, you can simply reformat and reinstall Mojave by starting up in recovery mode.
That's good to know! if anything goes wrong in the game again I'll be sure to try that out :)
Thanks again!
I know how to make reinstall of system, thank you. Ah, I'm still missing 32-bit apps that were not upgraded!
