@cody6268 There's no indication a Windows version is on the way or even in EA's plans, although it could of course happen at some point. If you're going to buy a Mac, please check its specs against the minimum and recommended requirements for the 64-bit version of Sims 3: this version has higher reqs by a large margin than the original. And quite frankly, for any given price, the game would still run better on a Windows PC than a Mac, although on the high end, the Mac version will likely have closed a large part of that gap.
The Go Social message sounds like the one on disc copies of the Sims 3 base game that require Origin, as in, any copy manufactured after September 2012. I don't know if the message is random or has some meaning, but I would guess that anyone playing on a Mac will now be required to launch the game from Origin, which isn't necessary in the current version. Or maybe someone just borrowed some old cover art.
