Game freezes and I must force quit app after 45 minutes of gameplay MAC
Hi all,

I am posting here because I am at my wits end trying to get my game to work.

At the start of owning my MacBook, I remember the Sims 3... not as bad? but overtime my game started not crashing (though it has happened on occasion) but instead freezing about 45 minutes into gameplay. I usually have to force quit and lose progress. This got so bad I uninstalled, did a hard reset, and did basically everything I could possibly do to fix the issue. I am back to ask for more help after reinstalling and it happening again, as I feel a bit out of my depth. Does anyone else have/had this specific issue? Besides the game being a bit slow, I have no other issues when playing, simply random freezing.

Happy to answer any and all questions to the best of my ability.

Specs are as follows
1. Operating system: Sonoma 14.3
2. Processor's type and speed: M2 (I am very sorry- I am struggling to find speed, if anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.)
3. Ram: 8GB
4. Graphics card info...
Brand model number: Apple M2 GPU
RAM: 8GB
Model Number: A2681
Driver version 3.0

Thank you once again
