The lack of support Mac users have received is unacceptable. Because The Sims 4 still has not been released for Mac users, EA should be offering patches for The Sims 3.
If anyone knows of a way to run The SIms 3 with an Intel Iris Pro grahpics card, assistance would be much appreciated!
Hi
It's true - the Iris cards don't work well with the game, unfortunately. There is a thread over at the TheSims website where we tried to collect information about this and on page 2 someone suggested a workaround that worked for them but doens't seem to work for everybody. However you might as well try it. Here is the thread: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/735231/intel-iris-pro-graphics-cards-please-post-here-if-you-have-a-macbook-with-intel-iris-pro-card/p1
Fingers crossed for you.
