  • Right now they are just showing the general minimum/recommended requirements for the game. I suspect though it has not been announced that no doubt seasons will make the game more demanding as it has done to previous sims games . If you computer falls under recommended requirements , we who help in tech would have no way of knowing what this EP will do to a computer until the EP is released and added to your games

    @aidansays Hey.
    VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA GTX 650 or better -- Can you tell me where I can find this on my Mac? I see everything else but that.
  • @KJB Go on the apple icon, then "About My Mac", then "system report" and then under hardware go to "graphics" I think (my mac is in French).

    Thanks! So is it the first part, the chipset model? Mine says Intel Iris Graphics 540, which I assume is not recommended? Haha this confuses me.
