Re: unable to run the 64bit metal sims 3 on Mac mini M1

@aodoherty  Hey, no complaints, especially given how finicky Sims 3 can be.  And Merry Christmas to you too.  It's a few more minutes before we officially hit the 25th, but close enough.

    @puzzlezaddictI found there's no Mac version of EA desktop yet. And I decided to give up to play the sims 3 on Mac mini. Luckily, I got this Mac mini as a Christmas present. So I still have option to do.

    Play the sims 3 on previous I Mac but actually the graphics card is pretty old, and play the sims 4 on this Mac mini. There's no problem to play the sims 4 on this machine.
    Getting my new own PC instead of Mac for the new year present myself. I can get only hardware. I have a monitor. I still have your pc advice tip and it will be great help to buy a new one. 🙂

    The 3rd option is just going to say bye bye to the sims 3 until EA makes a new patch it can be work without intel base and play the sims 4. 


    My husband said that the sims 3 works on only Intel base but this Mac mini doesn't have intel. He tried parallel and crossover all but he couldn't make it work. Thank you for caring my issue. 🙂 I always appreciate you.
