Has anybody been messing around with the game files and stuff? I have i've moved some patch files and the game stills runs fine but i still have this problem and random freezes and crashes. I've delete most cache files and the reload them selfs. I've been reading in to the error notes and the console messages and i'm not quite sure what they mean as far as helping out this problem and making this game run right. I wish there was some way to make the game work like it did when late night came out but still have all the stuff that we have now with Pets and so on. Please tell if you been working on this problem to maybe we can get some people working together and fix this problem since EA isn't. Also others post your Error messages in your Sims 3 folder and also post your console messages you can find that in your utilities folder on your mac so we can see what your mac was doing before the error popped up. SO LETS ALL WORK TOGETHER PEOPLE AND HAVE SOME FUN AND GET OUR GAMES WORKING!!! YEAH!
UPDATE*
OK I'VE MADE SOME PROGRESS!!! AND I'M CLOSER TO FINDING THE PROBLEM.
Ok so i started the game by pressing on the cider file in the The Sims 3.localized folder. so u could see all the process going on while i was playing the game and maybe see what was causing the error so i clicked on something i knew would cause the exception raised error. And so when the error came up this came up
(err:module:BUILTIN32_dlopen failed to load .so lib for builtin dasmx86dll.dll: dlopen(/Applications/The Sims 3.localized/The Sims3.app/Contents/Frameworks/libdasmx86dll.dylib, 2): image not found
wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger...)
so then i looked for the file in the location and guess what? THERE IS NO FILE!!! so now i'm gonna try to do the same thing again and see if it's just this one file missing. You guys try this and post your results here so we can all help each other. I'm gonna try it again to make sure thats the only file missing. But then that leads to another problem how do i make the file thats not there and what do i put in it thats missing. I know nothing about coding and or coding or building games so made we gonna need some help

I hope this thread stops all the other threads on this issue. New ones seem to pop up every day because people seem incapable of looking at other threads.

After nearly 3 years of waiting for EA to fix this issue I think it's pretty clear that they don't know how to.
*UPDATE
I knew i forgot something ok another thing is to disable your firewall i notice it helps if you do it with other things too. But my suggestion is that you turn off airport. But thats just because i don't want to think what would happen if someone hacked my mac so thats just for safety but i get if you use the internet while you play because i do it sometimes too. But just make sure u turn it back on after you finish playing. To turn it off go to system preferences and go to security. Hope that helps. Results may vary depending on OS and model and year your make was made.
*LOOK CLOSELY AT THE BOTTOM IN CAS WHERE THE SHOE THUMBNAIL APPEARS DISTORTED .
This also shows you what to do when you have this problem
I generally just save my sim so I can open it in CAS later once I see it and restart the game...
One quick question tho... My next step I think will be to "run without CC", If I do that will I loose that for good?
Ok #2 after every crash or freeze delete your regular caches(CASPartCache.package,compositorCache.package,scriptCache.package,simCompositorCache.package, and socialCache.package) and also delete any other files out including (DeviceConfig.log, Sims3LauncherLogFile.log, Sims3Logs.xml and any ScriptError). For the files i said i like to save mine and move them to another folder sometimes but most of the time i just get rid of them. So the only files remaining are (Options.ini and userPresets.package) and all of your folders, the rest will regenerate.
Hope this helps and may your game be glitch free!
EA THIS IS REALLY ANNOYING SO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND MAKE A PATCH SOON!!!!! :evil:
Has anyone came up with anymore solutions?
EA, this is complete bs. You have people like me that have played this game for years! FIX the problem!!
Weird I've just started having the same issue on my MAC, and noticed you have the same dress that I JUST installed in the pictures you posted. Deleted that dress, and the issue seems to be gone! ... hmmm...
EDIT:
http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/Mac-Exception-Raised/td-p/1102/highlight/true EA proves to be completely unhelpful, as usual... seriously?! I pay loads of money on your products and you ignore me and tons of other users when they don't even work?! It's entirely not my fault...
Seriously EA ignores their users, especially their Mac users.
Other issues include black boxes over the saving icon and black boxes over Sims portraits, build/buy items, etc.
Any one else have this same issue bc I can't seem to find it anywhere….
Also no CC installed, just store content. Attempted deleting the cache file and stuff but it didn't seem to make a difference. Only seeming to get 1-2 hours tops out of my game before any of this starts to happen
