Why can't I speed up time in Simcity Complete on my MacBook Pro?

Why is the portion of the menu bar at the bottom of the screen that you normally see in windows missing from the Macintosh version of Simcity complete? Also, what are the keyboard shortcuts available for me to use on a MacBook Pro?

Thanks for any help.

  • Hi @ferenzik - You can download the SimCity Game Manual, which includes all the keyboard shortcuts. There is no Mac-specific manual, but all of the shortcuts should work the same. Alt = Option; Ctrl = Command

    As far as the menu bar being missing, it sounds like maybe your resolution settings are not matching up. You can override the resolution settings in the game by using the command line switch feature.

    In Origin, right-click the SimCity icon and choose "Game Properties" > "Advanced Launch Options" tab > type "-r:1920x1080" (without the quotation marks) in the "Command Line Arguments" box. Match the resolution to the current display settings on your monitor, using the format "-r:HHHHxRRRR" For instance, -r:2560x1440  -r:1920x1080  -r:1600x900

    If this doesn't fix the display issue, please see this thread for more information on display issues with the Mojave OS. If this doesn't match your issue, please reply back with more information about your Mac (instructions for doing so are Here.) A screenshot of the window could help, too.

    Happy Building!
