[MAC] SIMS 3 WONT RECOGNIZE AMD Radeon R9 M380 2048 MB GRAPHICS CARD! HELP!

Hi,

I recently purchased a Late-2015 27-inch IMac, and it came with a pretty fancy graphics card! I was so excited because ususally the Sims 3 looks horrible and it really affects how I feel about the game. It took me about 2 days to install all my games, only to get a little popup when I opened the game saying that it couldn't recognize my video card and my graphics were at their lowest settings possible. I was so upset! I attempted a tutorial here (http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Getting_new_graphics_cards_recognized_by_the_game) but it didn't work. I really would like to fix this, as I have put so much time and money in this game for it not to work!

Thanks!

    Please read and try these Mac specific instructions. I am still waiting for someone with your card to try the method and report back the exact lines to enter - perhaps you could try? 🙂 I suggest following the instructions for the 15" MacBook Pro with the AMD M370X.

    EA have not fixed this issue unfortunately.

    Thank you so much! It seems to have worked! The graphics are still pretty blurry, but the game works now!
