Adding Sims 3 to a 2017 MacBook Pro
Sorry if this has been answered before, but I can’t find a post specifically about this. I have The Sims 3 on my early 2011 MacBook Pro. It is installed with a pre 2012 disc and using Patch 1.67. I ha...

Aaack! Just woke up in my parking space with the car still running, after eating a big Italian meal, to find the desk clerk of the hotel and one of the guests peering into my car to see if I was okay. Pulled a couple of almost allnighters this week, and I have a 10:00 meeting in the morning! And now that I am back in my room catching up on some correspondence, I just lost four paragraphs because I accidentally swiped backwards. Teach me not to save on a word document first!
@Bluebellflora, I just wanted to get an overview of what one does, depending on the operating system. I have been reading various posts until I was confused. I realize that most people who are wary of Origin have PCs, but I did not know what the new Origin for Mac does — I guess it is necessary for the new Macs — and I am eventually going to want to have alternatives in place in order to preserve my game. I am definitely going to have to save the Superpatch to disc.
I am also trying to decide if I want to put any more money into the old MacBook in order to keep it running. I guess I was right to be concerned about upgrading past Mavericks, but eventually my computer just could not keep up. At least now I am on the current operating system (well sort of — I’ll have to see about High Sierra now), but I am a bit behind the curve. Before that, I was afraid to upgrade past Snow Leopard until I knew Pets would work. I guess those are very bad practices.
I have not been able to try the game yet on the new computer because I have to locate the rest of my discs in the storage shed after moving. I guess some people have been needing the discs even to download from Origin, although I will definitely need your fix for some of the EPs.
I have been wary of Bootcamping my Mac. I know everyone does it, but no one in my family has done this, and no one at Apple will tell me that yes, it is 100% safe. I do have one friend that says yes, it does seem like something we should not do (put Windows operating system on our Mac), but has done it for the same reason — he has a favorite game.
Loving the new MacBook Pro, although the new keyboard is taking some getting used to — very light touch, no satisfying click on the trackpad, and I keep hitting the touchpad by mistake. (Kind of like on my iPhone 6 where I keep triggering the “How can I help you?” by mistake.) I am going to have to figure out why it doesn’t like my fingerprint, though.
