My sister bought me a macbook pro with an applem1 chip and 16gm of memory. MacOS is Sonoma 14.5. I'm learning mac, so I have a question here. Is Sims 3 available on mac laptops? I installed the EA app on Mac, but only Sims 4 shows. If I go onto my desktop which can barely run it, it shows Sims 3 in my library. Doesn't show it on mac. Is Sims 3 not available on mac? I'm just a tad confused here. Because if EA app is working right on both windows and mac, I would think that Sims 3 should be able to show up in my library on both of my devices, no matter the OS. Thank you for any assistance you guys can give me. I just wanted to see if my macbook can smoothly run Sims 3. :)
Lizzy1001992 Yes, Sims 3 is available for macOS, including the newest versions. It should definitely show in your game library on your Mac if it shows in Windows. Typically what happens is the entitlement for the 64-bit Mac version is missing, but then the EA App says the game is only available in Windows, as described here:
Still, I'd contact EA customer support, as described in the accepted solution of that thread, and ask for the entitlements to be added. Let me know if this doesn't work.
I would also strongly recommend choosing the live chat option rather than email. If you don't see it, try this link:
Thank you for your assistance! I did see last night that it did say windows only. I'll look into this and see if it helps, because I really don't want to have to pay for sims 3 when I already paid for the base game on my windows desktop.
