"vmmap needs to take control of another process"

Hey guys,
I really need your help! (I'm german, so please excuse my english)
My game crashes when I press the mouse wheel ( I don't really know if this is the right word for it. The little wheel on your mouse for scrolling) to change the angle. If I do so, the game freezes and the little mac loading circle appears. And after a few seconds this message shows up:
"vmmap needs to take control of another process for debugging to continue. Type in your password to allow this."
If I type in my password the loading process continues and nothing happens.
Apart from this my game runs perfectly.
my specs:
- iMac ( 2011)
- OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
- Processor 2,5 GHz Intel Core i5
- Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
- graphics AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB
I really appreciate your help! Many thanks in advance!

It would do for a little bit because it's cleared out the RAM.
This seems to be a growing problem with users who have 4Gb installed so yes, upping to 8Gb will help. I purged my RAM last night after half an hour of playing and cleared out 3.5Gb!
I'm only speculating here, hopefully @ErikTheRod may be able to clarify, but maybe it has something to do with the game being 64-bit, not 32-bit like the Windows version. It's capable of accessing more RAM so is very greedy.
... we have reproduced this issue and have found that some of the "extended" buttons on some mice can cause the game to crash. For the short term if you find a button like this, don't press it
Could this be memory related in part?
In the case of the mouse button issue it *is* technically a memory issue: the game is referencing memory it should not be - but that is not something an end user can fix, it's a bug in the game code.
Performance can definitely be impacted by amount of available memory. If you have 4GB+ you should be OK here, but it depends what other apps are running as well as what is going on in your game and what your game options are set to.
That makes sense. 4Gb really is the minimum so for those with 8Gb+ we shouldn't get any memory crashes (apart from buggy ones
I have the same problem! I downloaded this weekend and always just after I open this two messages apear. I had given my password but it doesn't work :( if someone know how to resolve this tell me please! I also have an Imac
What do you mean by "given my password"? When are you being prompted for your password?
I have 8GB RAM, by the way.

I have downloaded the game like a month ago. At first, the game did work properly but this chart opens: "vmmap needs to take control of another process for debugging to continue. Type in your password to allow this." I meant that it asked me to type my password to allow that. I did put my password, but nothing changed! Do someone know a solution? because I really want to play my sims 4 I've been waiting monthsss :(
It's memory related. Make sure you have nothing else open on your Mac. Having a lot of CC can cause memory issues when you're playing so if you have a lot maybe think about culling some.

OK! so if that's the problem what should I do to resolve it? Thank you for your time and help! @BluebellFlora !!

1) When SimsGuru starts doing his daily "I like this creation" in the Gallery, go offline. If you get off before the 4th or 5th like, game won't crash. Don't understand it, but during his daily sharing session, mine always crashes.
2) Once the crash happens, go to Origin and under the "Games" menu choose "Reload my Games". This tends to work to keep everything running smoothly. If I remember to do this before I start playing I generally can play for a really longtime with no issues.
3) If this still doesn't help, in the Origin App, right click on Sims 4 and choose "Repair my game". This will fix some of the quirkier stuff.
4) last but not least, if you love mods like me, clean out the cache on a regular basis. This step cannot be understated and is so simple to do once you get the hang of it.
I have gotten the "vmmap" error numerous times. I am running 16GB of ram and the only other application running on my Mac is Origin which I am assuming needs to be open since there is no game disk. Please let me know if there are any other problems that could be causing this. Thanks!
