![]() ![]() And having a Mac repaired is definitely more expensive.Īnd as regards Origin. You'd definitely do yourself and your Mac a favour by not playing the Sims on MacOS, you're wasting too many resources and have an increased risk of damaging your hardware because of that. But I'd say if one can afford a Mac in the first place the price for Windows shouldn't really matter. In fact, there is no "Windows for Mac", it is simply the regular Windows. Windows for Macs isn't more expensive it's just that you would have to pay full price while most PCs come bundled with Windows or have Windows pre-installed. Playing Sims under MacOS means that you will play in a fully unsupported environment. I think that the majority of developers have abandoned Cider for good. The Mac port is shit and as far as I know transgaming, the software company that developed Cider, the porting software, is all but bankrupt or at least development on Cider has ceased. The performance gain between MacOs and Windows was more than just noticeable - it was massive. I continued with Vista and Bootcamp up until Showtime (sans Pets) and figured that Seasons would be too much and finally made the jump to desktop PC. After Generations I switched to Windows Vista under Bootcamp on that laptop because it began to lag and games in Bridgeport never lasted longer than 10 weeks until that town became unplayable. I am writing this post on this very Macbook, so no permanent damage done. I played Sims 3 on a 2008 Macbook Pro with 10.5.8 until Generations with no real problems, sometimes 12 hours per session. This runs flawlessly fast on my computer, the fan doesn't even boot up nor does my laptop get hot (and I have like 5GB of custom content loaded in there).īoth games work great on Mac, in my opinion! It contains almost all of the expansion packs (minus the last two) and a few of the stuff packs. I definitely recommend buying it!Īlso in the Mac App Store they have The Sims 2 Super Collection for $29 which is a phenomenal port of the game for Mac. I can play it even better than my sister who plays the game on her windows computer. ![]() I have all the Sims 3 expansion packs, a ton of mods, CC, and all of the store content and I can play the Sims 3 on full graphics without much trouble. Hello! I have an early 2011 17-inch MacBook Pro that came with 8GB of Memory, an AMD Radeon HD 6750M graphics card, and a 2.2 GHz processor. My CD key is tied to my old Origin account, and I can't remember the username and password for my life I am wondering if that means I have to buy the game again? Even if I was able to gain access to my account again (by contacting EA or something), would I be able to get a Mac version with my old CD key? Or, to save myself the trouble, would it be legal to download the Mac version of the game from, err, unofficial websites, considering I do actually own a copy? ![]() I think my Macbook Pro should be able to handle it.Īs I said, I enjoy Sims 2 the most but thinking I'd probably have to buy it again, I'd rather spend the money on a newer game, considering I have a computer that's capable of it However, I have heard mixed reviews about Sims 3 for Mac, with some people saying it doesn't work well, though most of the information I found is rather old and maybe later patches have fixed some of this, or perhaps people have found some workarounds?Īnother thing is, I own a PC version of the game (a physical copy). However, I don't think Sims 3 is too bad if played on a good computer, and obviously with some mods and stuff. I currently play Sims 2 on my PC as Sims 3 didn't work well on it and it didn't really make it worthwhile, though I do own a (physical) copy. So now I am choosing between Sims 3 and Sims 2. Obviously, Sims 4 is out of question since it hasn't been released for Mac (yet) and I haven't really enjoyed it when I played it for a little while on a PC. ![]() I am now thinking about installing one of the Sims games on my Mac and am looking for some opinions. I am wondering, are there any Sims 3 players on Mac on here? I am currently switching to Mac - I have both a Windows and a Mac computer, however my Windows one is very old and once it stops working, I plan to continue with just my Macbook Pro. ![]()
