Re: MACbook unable to run with the video card in this system

Thank you for that!

Totally didn't think.

Is this a matter of buying a new upgrade for the graphics? If so is this expensive and difficult to do?

@amymcdonald1989,

You can't upgrade the graphics card/graphics chip on a MacBook. You need a new computer.

If possible, buy a 2015 Mac or 2016. 2013 - 2012 should be fine, but it depends on the model and the graphics card it has. These are The Sims 4 system requirements for Mac OS X:
