Thanks for the info! I have Sims 4 but really prefer 3 :/
Do I have to wipe my Mac in order to install windows? Or is it kind of like Chrome where I can just have it along with Catalina?
@boots3024 You definitely don't need to wipe your Mac. When you Bootcamp, you partition your hard drive and install Windows on one side; the other side stays intact. Here's a more thorough description of the process:

Ideally, you'd be able to devote at least 200 GB to the Windows partition and still have enough free for macOS: 50 GB is fine unless you plan on downloading a lot more stuff in the future. Windows does need a lot of room to maneuver, and the entire Sims 3 install might take ~35 GB if you install every pack. Plus you'll want room for your saves, mods and cc, screenshots, etc. Some people can get away with a bit less storage, but they have to watch their free space carefully.
If you do want to go this route, feel free to ask more questions. I was intimidated when I first Bootcamped my own Mac, but it was a surprisingly smooth process, and almost two years out, I'm almost positive I didn't break anything.
- @puzzlezaddict thank you! I will work on that and will definitely ask if i get confused (which is likely to happen)
