Thank you Bluebell. Once again, indebted to you for your knowledge. Will try all the usual ways to get my game to work. Keep your fingers crossed for me. x
I was so happy to be able to make a Sim in CAS for the first time in about two years, thanks to the new patch. Dizzy with glee I then decided to update my OS from 10.6.8 to Mavericks as most of the feedback seemed positive. The installation went well and I am loving the new OS. BUT, I can't get into my game. It takes while…
I have not been able to play for about two years. Never seen one of my sims get old in Sims3. Legacy !! HA ! Have not been able to make a single sim for 18 months. Can't stay in game for more than ten minutes. Can't build for more than 20 mins. Game crashes constantly. I still try to play once or twice a week but its…
Hi Amaluk If you have a look through the posts on this forum you will see that it is almost impossible to give you a quick yes or no to your question. There is no definitive answer. Some people can play with relative ease while others can't even get into their games. Some can play with most expansion packs and loads of cc,…
Is there a Guru looking at these Posts? If you are a Guru, and you see this, can you please give us Mac players answers to these simple questions. 1 Will The Sims 4 be available for Mac ? 2 Will The Sims 4 be available for Mac in 2014? 3 Will The Sims 4 be made to run NATIVE on a Mac? 4 Will EA promise Mac users that they…
Hmmm! I have Xcode installed on my Mac. I have not installed it from the Snow leopard disc, but it is in my Apps folder, maybe something to do with Photoshop needing it ? However, the 'purge' command does not work. I think my Mac came with Leopard and then I upgraded to 10.6.8 from web updates.
Yes they are on low. Thank you for trying to help but I have tried everything, on every post or suggestion there has ever been. i check in almost daily on forums and sites and try anything new that comes up. I have been doing this for three years! The only thing I wanted to try, but can't, is Bluebells 'Purge' of the…
Thank you. It worked and I have bypassed the launcher so the extra TMP DCCache files stay away. Hurrah! They were 210MB each and I had 28 of them !!!!! However i am still only getting 5 mins. in the game before it crashes !!!! Hey- ho nothing ever really changes, no matter what I try, and I do try everything. Maybe…
Thank you Bluebell, what would we all do without you ? Absolutely right, the Island Paradise icon is there where you said it might be. i can try it now, though I am not expecting it to work. Have you found the duplicate dbc.tmp files in your DDCache folder ? Do you have any idea what they are or why they are there? I have…
I am on a 2009 MacBook Pro, 3.06 GHz, with 8GB and running OS X 10.6.8, NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512MB. I can't find any Add Ons folders, i have an Applications/Additions folder, but only have Microsoft Office in there. I have looked in Library, in Systems, in Systems folder, in Documents, everywhere. No Island paradise!!…
Since installing Pets, about three years ago now, my gameplay just got worse and worse. I kept buying the games and installing the patches hoping that one of them might 'fix' the game but nothing ever did, it just got more and more frustrating. When CAS stopped working for me completely, ( could not make a single Sim…
If they make Sims 4 to run natively on Mac, which OS do you think they are using to make it? Lion? or Maverick? I am still on Leopard and need to upgrade my Mac sometime in the next six months or so. When I buy a new Mac it will be running Maverick !!! Do you think they care enough about Mac users to make sure that The…
I have never managed to get my game to stay stable long enough for any of my Sims to get old!! I think that I once had a man get from YA to adult in a game, but that is as old as I ever had a Sim get. I have been playing this game for ten years!!! For the last three years, since 'Pets', it has become more and more…
Just as I dreaded, the 1.50 patch has not helped to fix all the CAS/CAH issues. I still can't make a single Sim. It is exactly as before with the same blacked/whited/greyed/pixilated sims and messed up or blacked out clothing icons. :( :cry: :cry: The same 'Exception Raised' errors, freezing etc.etc. I was intrigued by the…
Yup!! This is what is happening to a huge number of players on Mac. CAS/CAH no longer works. If you look through the posts on this forum you will see the history of the CAS/CAH problems. Starting around three years ago and the release of Pets, and getting progressively worse with each EP and patch, until Seasons, where it…
CAS/CAH does not work anymore. Black/whited out/ prixilated/ grey/ red/ blue sims. Messed up/blacked out clothing icons. CTD Freezing 'Exception Raised' errors 'Error 12' Any or all of the above are becoming the norm for a huge number of Mac players. I have not been able to make a SIm in CAS/CAH for 6 months. Immediate…
This sounds just fantastic! I don't know why but I always like to play households on the beach or near to the water, so Sunlit Tides was a great town for me. This sounds like a really cool EP. I just hope that EA can sort out a fix that allows me to play my game by the time this comes out as I have not been able to play…
Actually when I really looked at this I only have the 'Uninstall' on the hard drive .Can't find Xcode . I did notice however that installing Xcode will take up nearly 2GB !!! That seems a bit excessive just to make it accept a 'Purge' command. So I am not sure whether to go ahead and do this or wait for the, probably…
I am getting the same "-bash: purge: command not found" when I try this but also when I used spotlight to look for Xcode developer tools, they are there on my hard drive, already installed. Do I still need to re-install this? And if so do I use the 'Uninstall Xcode developer tools" first? Thanks.
So, just thought I'd let you know that EA are not releasing the patch for Mac, they say that there will be a superpatch update for Mac, though did not say when. I am sure EA will fix your Patch download problems before they even start on doing ANYTHING for their thousands of Mac customers. Just thought that I would ask if…
This horrible problem with CAS/CAH started for me with the 'PETS' EP. It was not too bad for a long time, crashing when trying to add a pet to a family at first. Then the icons in the clothes categories started to get messed up and would result in CTD. Things have just got steadily worse in CAS/CAH with each new patch or…
