    I think you’d be fine with more packs but you should install the ones you wanted first and judge performance after a few gaming sessions 🙂

It's not a question of safety, it depends on multiple factors:

  • how much disk space is available on your Mac
  • whether you use CC/Mods and what type of CC/Mods they are
  • graphics settings in-game
  • gameplay style - do you like worlds stuffed with large families and large houses?
  • do your lots have a ton of objects on them?
  • are your community lots large with lots of interaction objects?
  • are your families massive?

Your Mac should be fine running the packs you've listed. The Apple Silicon chips are superb.

    That makes so much sense! 

    • My Macintosh HD has 161.4 Gb of unused space
    • I don't USUALLY use cc/mods since I have so many packs, but I do want to download the MC Command Center
    • whatever the game automatically opens
    • I do! I usually only play for one family but I like to play them through the generations, averaging 1-4 kids per family. but I'm really a fan of cottage living, so a lot of NPCs on the lot
    • It depends honestly, I think its normal but IDK what normal is to everyone 
    • No, I don't tend to go to community lots. occasionally
    • Depends? 1-4 kids, not usually more! 

    Do you think I'd push my luck to download more?
