    Open your Config.log file. Near the top, under Graphics Device Info please copy and paste the first seven lines, down to Driver version, here.
  • Having a lot of difficulty with Origin and Sims 4:

    Sims 4 was running fine on my Mac. one day, it stopped, and I keep receiving the same message. 

    I will give you my Mac system info below.

    MacBook Air: (Reitna 13 in 2019)

    Processor 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5

    Memory * Gb 2133 MHz LPDDR3

    Start up Disk Mac HD

    Graphics Intel UHD Graphics 1536 MB

    I have not even used half of my memory

    I continue to get this message:

    Unable to start:

    Can't run The Sims 4 with the video card in this system.

    Please check that the video card meets the minimum specifications and that the latest video drivers are installed.

    These are the steps I have taken

    I have done reboots, even with safe reboot

    I have uninstalled origin, and caches.

    reinstalled

    have done this multiple times

    have taken all malware systems and anti-virus systems off my computer

    have disabled origin in sims game

    I have rebooted and un/reinstalled multiple times with the same message. 

    I have done a lot of research and no results have helped. 

    Let me know what I can do, if you have any ideas! Thank you!
