    @puzzlezaddict Thank you! I did not find any video on Youtube with MBA 2017 runs 64 bit Sims 3, and the The Sims 3 (64-bit & Metal) MAC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 or better. Intel HD 6000 earlier than 640. That's why I thought there might be a problem with 64 bits. Fortunately, they don't. Anyway, have you read or seen somewhere that there is no problem with 64 bits?

    @GCsabor  I've seen numerous people post in the Sims 3 Mac section whose computers have an HD 6000 or 6100, both of which were very common in that generation of Macs.  These players do have a lot of trouble with the Pets EP, as mentioned, and they typically need to play on lower graphics settings.  But aside from Pets-related crashes and entirely avoidable problems with mods and custom content, the game appears to be reasonably stable for people on this hardware.

    If you don't own the game yet, I'd recommend buying only the Starter Pack (the base game, one EP, and one SP) and seeing how it runs.  If you're one of the few that can't get it to work at all, you can request a refund.  If it runs well enough for your taste, lower graphics settings included, you can add one expansion at a time and see how things go.  After Pets, Seasons is the next most demanding, followed (with a considerable gap) by Island Paradise and Into the Future.  Stuff packs don't add much to the game's overhead at all.
