@BluebellFlora I've followed your advice for the graphics card yet when i load sims 3 (only the base game is installed so far and i haven't updated it yet) i still get the sims 3 has crashed with the blue screen with the green plumbob in the background. Any advice or am i for lack of better words screwed. :(((
here's my computer stats in case you need them
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)
Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB
Can you update it? Use the
super patch, not the Launcher. Check the edited files again after patching to make sure the patch hasn't changed them.
Check your Device ID, I think yours is 0x162b.
Did you try adding in the extra lines I detailed here? http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/14067128/#Comment_14067128 In the TS4 equivalent file it says
Intel Broadwell HD Graphics so you could try that:
elseif (match("${cardName}", "*Intel Broadwell HD Graphics*"))
I'm just guessing really but it won't hurt to try. Something is still proving problematic on the 2015 models :( To cover all bases in the GraphicsCards.sgr file, try adding in all lines that may be relevant:
elseif (match("${cardName}", "*Haswell*"))
seti cardLevel $cardLevelMedium
seti isCardMatched true
elseif (match("${cardName}", "*Broadwell*"))
seti cardLevel $cardLevelMedium
seti isCardMatched true
elseif (match("${cardName}", "*Intel Broadwell HD Graphics*"))
seti cardLevel $cardLevelMedium
seti isCardMatched true
elseif (match("${cardName}", "*IntelIris6100*"))
seti cardLevel $cardLevelMedium
seti isCardMatched true
