I tried these troubleshooting steps, none of which worked: When I once left my laptop alone for 12 minutes, it was still frozen trying to load TS4, and I had to hold down the power button to shut down.
In either case, the computer did not respond to cmd-optn-esc, and if I tried to tab or click on something else, it eventually restarted itself. With options.ini set to open the game in windowed mode, the TS4 window hung on a white screen indefinitely. With a clean game folder or otherwise fresh options.ini in place, the right half of my screen would go dark, and the left half would show an enlarged version of what the right half of the desktop would normally look like. After the November 12 update, I cannot get Sims 4 to launch on my Mac.
