Mac is Best? I heard.
I heard a Mac is best for playing Sims 3, especially because of the 64-bit version. Is this true? I heard Newer Macs with Apple Silicon (M-series chips) and "Based on user experiences, the best M...

DivinylsFan I would absolutely not recommend buying a Mac if the goal is to play Sims 3. Sure, it's nice to have a 64-bit version of the game, but there are too many other problems with this version that EA never bothered to solve. And the game isn't nearly as smooth as it is on a Windows gaming PC. I have both and only use my Macs when I'm testing something, or occasionally to build when I'm lying in bed with my laptop and don't want to get up.
Out of curiosity, where on earth did you see the quote you posted? I can't imagine any real players saying that, at least not those doing a proper comparison.
As for igazor, he hasn't ever signed into this site and hadn't posted on the old Sims forum for a while before the transition. But he also owns Macs and plays in Windows instead.
the quote was from a googly AI
You sure Macs, with the 64-bit, aren't better?
I'm looking around for a new computer especially to play. Everything else I can do on this laptop.
The old computer which was very good for playing Sims 3, for more than 5 years, was an Acer from 2017. Can't remember the specs. It burnt out last year, the paste dried after being overheated for too long. My son found a build with extra fans, saying that and some better specs would be good. I've been waiting for my uni load to end for the year. I asked the googly AI for advice and the above answer about Macs is what I got. I thought it was interesting.
Is the Windows PC preference influenced by compatibility with other people? I basically use my own create a style, and the Nraas mods, so, other cc isn't an issue for me. If not then I guess I'll go with my son's recommendation.
Previous computers' failures playing Sims, 3 and which also used to happen with 2, took up so much of my time, wasted my days ... I am hesitant, even fearful, of going through it again while the years have marched by and so much lamenting chews up my mood, and thought space.
I wish that time machine, and the ITF portal ... are those the only two time-travelling devices? Would appear in reality ... I'd love to go back to the 80s. And my younger self.
