If the new save crashes too, please temporarily disable the iCloud syncing of Documents and see whether it helps.

Don't add anything to it yet just start a new save and see whether you can save your progress without crashing. When you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. Otherwise, as a test, please move the entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop. There's nothing wrong with using it just remember to disable it when you're done. Just in case it's this simple, have you been using the buydebug cheat? The game will often freeze or crash if buydebug is still enabled when you try to save. Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 That's not full enough to prevent the game from saving though. From what I've read the packs aren't compatible on this 64bit version which I'm ok with but I can't even get the actual game to load. Also, I'm not sure these would interfere with this game being played since it seems to be a common issue with most macs and this game but a few years ago I did upgrade my logic board, battery, ram and hard drive. I greatly appreciate any help you could provide! Origin also downloaded the late night, high end loft stuff, and island paradise packs but when it shows up on my game library it says they need to download again. Tried disabling origin in game, didn't work. Tried to update and repair game from Origin, didn't work. Tried moving sims folder to desktop, didn't work.

I've tried to delete the version.tag file, didn't work. I downloaded the 64-bit version from Origin. I used to play this years ago on an old PC and found the box today so tried to put it on my Mac. I've read a lot of threads already & I don't understand what's going wrong.

Mac word keeps crashing
