Re: Will Sims 4 Run on my Macbook Air

Actually it will. I own a Early 2015 MacBook and to this day I still play sims 3 on it. It runs smoothly for the most part but there are some technical issues for example rotating your camera angle is reverse moving your mouse to the left will move it to the right and right will move it to the left. Another slight problem is the graphics. I spent almost 2 hours testing out different graphics. Unlike PC, on mac, turning up all the graphics and putting them on high will slow down the resolution of the game and it will run slower. And the Turning on the reflection quality will make the screen turn completely black but the good thing is if you have any issue testing graphics on your mac, you can click the "Reset Graphics" button and your graphics will return to the default graphics and you can continue testing. Let me know if this helped! 😊

do you know how to get the sims 4 on macbook pro? i have downloaded the macbook thing that is supposed to make it work but it still says the game is only for window?

@CarmenLangford

The trial version of the game and Origin Access are only for Windows. If you want to play the game you will have to buy it through Origin. If you don't like it you are eligible for a refund under the Origin Great Game Guarantee.

@kkitkat2

It will work. How well depends on how much content you add, what else you are running, how you use your Mac generally. MacBook Airs have extremely low powered hardware, none of which is designed for gaming.

@CarmenLangford I have the same problem

@Bluebellflora how do you get the sims 4 on Mac ?

Through Origin. Download and install Origin - http://www.origin.com/download and log in using your EA/Origin account details

Then buy the game outright, don't buy Origin Access as it is not compatible for Mac - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/Origin-Access-is-not-available-for-Mac-How-to-buy-The-Sims-4/m-p/8866393#M28221
