Just a few things worth noting:
- Mac users get the unrecognised card error in Sims 4 too but the game will load because it is native to macOS, not the Cider crap EA used for Sims 3
- Sim3 for Mac has not had any update of any sort since the 1.67 patch in January 2014
- When using a VM such as Parallels or VMware the drivers used are not native drivers for the hardware, they are VM drivers, which is why the graphics and performance is never as good. It will never perform as well as Boot Camp which will give you a like for like experience on a Windows PC.
- Don't underestimate what @igazor has stated about the 2Gb RAM limit and Cider using Windows XP for the Sims 3 on Mac. That the game can even run at all on some Macs is nothing short of a miracle
- Macs with AMD 300 series GPUs should run the game, if the necessary information is added to the .sgr files. @phoebebebe13 any idea what we should be adding for the AMD Radeon Pro 400 series GPUs in the 2016 15" MacBook Pros?
