Hi there!
I know there's a hole bunch of these topics about Mac people having problems with their game since installing The Seasons, but since I have a Mac myself (and a hole lot of freezing, crashing and graphic errors since installing The Seasons) I just wanted to hear whether anyone have received or heard anything from EA about this issue.
This seems to be a major problem, among almost everyone using a Mac, and I really do hope EA takes this seriously, which it doesn't seems like since they're normally very quick to launch the patches, and this issue have been going on for over a month now.
I just hope I haven't wasted all the money I've spent since The Sims 3 game out, since the game doesn't even work if I uninstall The Seasons. This far I have just crossed my fingers, and waited for a patch, but now I'm not sure if one will ever come...
Best regards

This thread from Jooliea a few pages back might answer some of your questions.
Here is a link that EA did on Seasons...
https://help.ea.com/article/the-sims-3-seasons-known-hardware-issues
Don't know if it's of any help, but some say if they lower their graphic settings they can play and some say they still can't...It's still not a patch, though.
That's all I've seen from them Such a shame that they take our money and then don't give us a game that even works!
It's very frustrating indeed! But thank you for your link, because that's actually the first response to this issue that I have seen from EA, so I'm just glad they're aware of the problem. But on the other hand, it doesn't seem like a patch is coming, and I just hope they understand that it doesn't work for all of us to lower our graphics or do some of the other things they're suggesting. Besides, it shouldn't be necessary to lower the graphics and actually make the game worser, just to make it run properly!
But I'm crossing my fingers just like you, but I definitely don't think you should give up hope about this, because I definitely don't think Will Wright would be happy to hear about this.. Unfortunately he probably doesn't have anything to do with the technical issues..
Here are the graphics settings suggested in this thread:
