Mac user - iMac Pro 5 2019 - RAM issue.
As explained in my title to this new thread I have a Mac. It has 8 gb RAM but obviously it needs more for Sims 4 as the fan is constantly on. Can any other Mac use tell me how much RAM I can get aw...

@BluebellfloraDoh! Silly me. I see...
Mac OS Big Sur
Version 11.2.1
iMac (Retina 5k 27-inch, 2019
Processor 3GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5
Memory 8GB 2667 MHz DDR4
Graphics Radeon Pro 57OX 4GB
I have No antivirus as my BT McAfee stopped working with Big Sur, but I'll be getting on asap! I have tried without mods, but the problem persists. Cleaned cache. Turned off as many background apps as I can, but still a very hot computer. Moved all my photos and videos to iCloud.
Thanks again.

Thanks 🙂
I have a 2019 iMac too:
27” 2019 5k
macOS 11.2
3.6 GHz 8-core i9
8GB AMD Radeon Pro 580X
32 GB RAM
and the fans are noisy for me too because of the way I play. I play in windowed mode at a very high resolution. The game runs great though and I can have it playing for hours.
You would need to lower the graphics settings in-game so less power is required from the GPU, hence less heat produced and therefore less work for the fans to do.
If you wanted to upgrade the RAM it is very easy to do yourself. I bought mine with 8GB and immediately upgraded to 32GB.
