MCCC and BE are Mods, leaving them in your Mods folder means your game is modded and is not vanilla. Don’t waste your time, don’t waste our time, don’t waste EA’s time. And don’t lie about it. Too many people lie about removing their Mods, it’s baffling. #TheSims4

[CL] [LS] White Screen when loading world with penthouses | EA Forums - 12605482 Basic Info Platform: PC/Mac Mods: Unclear at this point. Game Version: 1.118.242 Symptom When trying to load a world with a penthouse such as San Myshuno,... - 12605482

It looks like building r-rentals on penthouses currently cause white screens and endless loading screens.

Try this method: forums.ea.com/idea/the-sim... and revert the lot to a residential one.

If you ever needed visual proof as to why apps that claim to "clean" your Mac of unwanted files should never be used, see this picture from someone's post seeking help on the EA Forums.

Just because the game is broken doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be trying to play it. Where’s your sense of adventure?

EA have nothing to do with TS2 for Mac. It was licensed to Aspyr.

How has TS3 been optimised? PC version received an update to fix an Intel CPU issue. No improvements were made to the game, it was a compatibility issue. Same as the 64-bit update release for Mac in 2020.

Do you regularly download lots from the Sims 4 gallery ? Please do these things before doing so:

- Backup important saves
- Test your game if they work after downloading (endless loading is a big issue still)
- Switch lot types before downloading and placing something (has a few issues)
