Just installed the new update and now Sims4 won't run on my mac :( I have removed origin completely and reinstalled it, restarted the Mac and it's still not working, anyone any suggestions? It comes up with the message hardware does not support Sims 4

Hmm, were you playing the Legacy version of The Sims 4 by chance?

Can you click the Apple icon in the upper-left corner of the screen and select About This Mac. Please post everything you see there including the operating system except for the serial number.

add new small decorative slots to toilets, standalone sinks, bathtubs and more!

Adorable clutter:

Yes I have the legacy edition, which was working fine even today, up until the latest update released today.
sure :smile:

2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Macintosh HD
AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB

Gotcha, the Legacy version of Sims 4 has been retired (announced back in November).

You'll need to have a Mac running 10.11 (El Capitan) or newer that supports the Metal API to continue playing The Sims 4.

It looks like based on the specs you shared you have either a 2011 model iMac or MacBook Pro, both can update to El Capitan but unfortunately neither supports the Metal API.

We also have a thread on this on Answers HQ here if you would like to do some further reading.

thank you for helping me! Does this mean that I can no longer use this iMac to play the Sims? :(

Unfortunately this specific iMac has Simmed its last Sim. ?

I'm liking the new underwear options for the ladies, but it would have been so much better if they had added also a bra option in the same swatches for the ladies. Love the pastel and nude colours.

I so agree, where are the bras to match the new panties in Sims 4?

Dear watcher I beg you not this
I haven't even looked at my pre existing sims yet they better not be up to this
I am not replacing these billion sims I have just when I got their likes and dislikes and everything set up
if they been up to this it better not be permanent

I played for two hours yesterday and didn't notice the face bug. Perhaps I should pay more attention to my Sims.
