- Open the GraphicsCards.sgr file using TextEdit. You can find it by right clicking on the Sims 4 in your Applications folder > Show Package Contents > Contents > Resources. Press CMD and F to bring up the search function and type in 0x1902. This will quickly get you to the location where you need to add the chip. Create a new line underneath the Intel (R) HD 510 line and copy and paste the following:
card 0x591e "Intel (R) HD 615" $cardLevelMedium $resolutionMedium
- Close the file, saving if prompted or it doesn't autosave.
Now launch the game to the loading screen then quit. Go into the Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 folder and open the Config.log file, scroll to the top and see if your card has now been found. Under the Graphics device info bit it should now correctly identify your card and show [Found: 1, Supported: 1].
If it doesn't show Found:1 let me know, we may need to tweak the entry a bit.
