Multiple Graphics/Performance Issues on Mac; Please Help
ohayitstiffanay:
I know I've already posted a few things about graphics problems, however they are getting increasingly worse, even after I paid Apple Care $400 to replace my entire graphics system and put in a new graphics card, andshit like this keeps happening, every 10 minutes or so.
But only when I'm in Plan Outfit and Change Appearance screen. The icons of the objects glitch, then my Sim glitches then I get a
"Exception Raised: Unwritten page fault access on write address ________ x __________. Do you wish to debug it?
" and whether I press yes or no, it shuts my game down.
This happens literally every time I play. I also noticed that my CC decides when it wants to work, and then randomly starts working again, but regardless my game doesn't stay on long enough to enjoy it.
Here's a snippet of what the Error Report from my Mac said, if you need the full, I'll just run the game for you and get a new one.

Here's some examples of the shit I've been dealing with, which is making me want to rip my hair out.
If you could just give me even an idea, even if it's ass-backwards wrong, just let me know cause I'm getting kind of desperate for help cause no one at Mac has any experience with Sims.
Neowulf:
Does it have problems without CC?
unknownlUser:
Does it have problems without the user? If someone else is to play or set things up?
ohayitstiffanay:
@Unknown|User I'm not sure, this is the only game that I have on here, cause frankly I'm scared to add anything else without this POS exploding.
@Neowulf I'm not completely sure, I will have to try that and get back to you sometime today.
ohayitstiffanay:
As selfish as this sounds, I'd really rather not NOT play without custom content, the base game and expansions items are nauseating. Any ideas on maybe how I could fix this problem without removing the content?
I also googled this issue and found a site that suggested doing this:
"Ea support told me this (for MAC users only!):
1. Drag The Sims 3 icon from your desktop to the trash bin.
2. Go to Users\[username]\Library\Preferences and delete the Sims 3 preferences folder if it appears.
3. Go to Users\[username]\Documents\Electronic Arts and move the Sims 3 folder to your desktop.
4. Finally, go to Users\[username]\Applications and delete the Sims 3 folder there.
5. Control-click on the trash bin and select Secure Deleted, restart your computer, and reinstall The Sims 3. "
But the person tried it and said it was still unsuccessful.
