As I said before, I am a member of the Simblr Community on Tumblr. Quite a few people (even PC users) have also been experiencing crashes with Seasons. I came across this post on my Dashboard and felt I needed to share it with you all, as this
may be able to solve our problems.
This is the page where you can download the Super Patcher for Mac:

I'm definitely going to try this.

Loading game now to see... *fingers crossed*
I am heartbroken
DId you install the patch before of after Seasons?
My game now will allow me to go into CAS and Build/Buy mode for a little bit of time, and even save, but it'll inevitably crash 5 minutes later, even if the game works well until them. Sigh!
Thanks for giving us the info!! I'm still hoping for a patch from EA that fixes things.
I really hope this works. Cuz I will cry if it doesnt. I have invested so much money in these games. You would think that EA Games and Maxis would be more considerate when it comes to these things. My friend is good with computers and into graphic design and what not and he said that all these companies that make games have a deadline to meet to release the games. So regardless of if there are glitches or if it crashes and what not they will release them this way because they have to meet their deadlines. And us as consumers unknowingly buy the games and only realize later that the games are very problematic. (Or as in this case right away as soon we attempt to play the game) The thing is I wish these companies would realize that they wouldn't be anything without us, the consumers. Sometimes I wish we would all boycott but we wont. We continue to buy the games. *Sigh
I really hope this helps though. I will cry tears of joy if it does. I will cry tears of sadness if it doesnt.
Can I please ask for those who have installed the patch what version you have now? Is it 1.42.130.019.0001? This info can be found in the info.plist file.

Hi willowsomething,
This means that the one included in the superpatcher is later than your version now.
My game crashed at CAS though while I was selecting an everyday attire. I played for about 30 mins. It's not the fix that everyone is waiting for but it does help a little.
