They cause issues with the game which make it virtually unplayable. TS3 won't run well on the 13' because it has Intel Iris graphics which aren't supported. even if I have upgraded the RAM and processor. the fact that the 13' does not have a true graphics card makes me quite worried that I'm going to blow my money on something that doesn't work well.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)Īnd as I've read. I'm looking to purchase either Sims 3 or 4, but after reading quite a fair bit on this forum, I'm a little hesitant because of the tech specs of my new MacBook Pro: Hi, thanks very much for this quick guide. There is a forum thread regarding this, please read it for possible workarounds. *UPDATE 17.02.15 - Please be aware there are currently issues with the Intel HD 4000 card on Macs.

Don't forget that you can only get the game from Origin.

Minimum OS – Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9 or later).

Online Requirements: Internet Connection required for product activation.

Video – NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT, ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro or better.

Hard Drive – At least 10Gb of free space with at least 1Gb additional space for custom content.

CPU – Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz or better.

But if your Mac meets these minimum system requirements then there's a pretty good chance it should work. No one can say 100% the game will run on your Mac because you may have conflicting software, or your Mac may be in dire need of some basic housekeeping. Please remember one very, VERY important thing. which had a SSD instead of flash memory). And has always applied to the MacBook Airs (apart from the first gen. Same goes for some of the more recent iMacs. Well, you can but you need to be technically proficient and it will invalidate any warranty or Applecare you have on the machine.

If you have a retina MacBook Pro you cannot upgrade RAM or memory to free up more space. Remember, different operating system/different drivers, even though the hardware is the same. If you’ve Boot Camped your Mac and you can play The Sims 4 well, this is absolutely NO indication of how well the game will play in OS X. All signs indicate that The Sims 4 will be native to Mac, as The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 were. Your game thinks it’s running in Windows, not OS X. Remember that The Sims 3 runs so appallingly on Macs because EA used Cider to make the game OS X compatible. If you have a 13″ MacBook Pro (non-retina) with one of the integrated Intel cards, and it has 384Mb VRAM, you can increase this to 512Mb VRAM by upgrading the system RAM to 8Gb. The same goes for the Intel Iris and Iris Pro cards. If you have a Mac which has the Intel 3000 or Intel 4000* or Intel 5000 graphics cards, you should be fine. These are more recent and powerful than the Intel Core 2 Duo stated in the CPU requirements. If you have a Mac that has an i3, i5 or i7 processor, you should be fine. I have already posted this on my blog because so many people are asking this question.
