The OS is High Sierra. I bought that MacBook on eBay because I knew it’d let me play. I know it’s mid-2010, but at the time it was what I needed to play vs. my 2008 MacBook that I do everything else on. Here we are a year later, and as much as I have loved The Sims since 2000, I have to wave my white flag and toss in the towel. I can’t afford upgrades. 💔😭

Yeah, unfortunately it doesn’t support Metal ☹️ the FAQ in page 1 of this thread lists compatible Macs which may help when you eventually replace your Mac.

    Thanks. Replacing my Mac is the least of my concerns at this time. The Sims was a nice distraction from my cancer treatments. But, I can’t afford a new Mac just to play a game on. 
    thanks though!  I’ll remember that just in case!  😌
