Game closes when I click "Load"

I just bought this game yesterday for my Macbook Pro, and I love it so far. I started world and began to play, and after an hour or so I saved the game (made my character sleep) and went to go eat something. When I came back, I opened the game again and clicked "Load" to continue playing on my world. However, when I clicked "Load," the screen slid to the side, said "Loading" in the bottom-left corner, and then the game closed. There was no crash report, no "The game quit unexpectedly" from Steam, no "The application quit unexpectedly" from my Mac. It just quit. The game synced in Steam, and that was that. I opened it again and tried a second time, and the same thing happened. I tried making a new world and saving it, then loading the new one, but the same thing happened. I tried uninstalling it from Steam, waiting an hour, and reinstalling it and doing everything I did before, but to no avail. Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong? I really want to play this game!

 

I tried to edit my first save file because I didn't like the name of my farm. I went to the Saves folder, opened up the folder inside that (which was called my character name followed by a bunch of random numbers) and opened all the documents in it. The documents were textedit files and there were 4 of them: one was called the same thing as the folder, one was called "savegameinfo," and the other two were copies of the first two with "_old" after each one. I opened up all of them, did Ctrl-F to find the farm name, edited the farm name, and saved it. After that, I couldn't load any saves. I uninstalled the game, reinstalled it, and tried making new worlds and loading them, but it still "crashed" (quotations bc there was no report).

That's what probably did it. The question is: how do I fix it?

 

I have the same issue above on a Macbook Pro except I never tried to edit a file. Installed game on steams, started playing, tried to load next time I started the game. When I press load it moves to a screen with Loading... in the bottom left corner then the game closes. Tried making a new world and I have exactly the same issue...
