Sims 4 running slow off mac

@rkr13 @nougatnafnaf

Have you changed all your in-game settings to low? Is it still slow if you move your Sims 4 folder to the desktop and launch a new, clean game? @rkr13 your Mac is fairly old and the Intel HD 4000 has always struggled with the game @nougatnafnaf Please can you provide more information about your Mac. Instructions on how to do so here - http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612396/highlight/true#M162

I haven't changed any settings (they are and have always been) on max. - haven't moved any folders either - ever.

Can you move the Sims 4 folder and play a brand new, clean game to see how it performs?

@nougatnafnaf

That's strange and shouldn't happen. The game should automatically create a new Sims 4 folder in Documents > Electronic Arts. Can you repair the game and try again? When you say it didn't open, did anything happen at all?

Downloading and installing the GPU driver directly from NVIDIA will help improve smooth gameplay but it isn't normal practice and is done at your own risk. Apple don't update the drivers very often which is more than irritating. I have written a guide on how to do it here if you need it.

regarding your guide I can only find drivers for windows - not for mac?

@nougatnafnaf

I can't help you with that here, please leave a comment on my site under the guide if you need help 🙂 I can tell you that you need to follow the instructions and screenshots to get the drivers to show up for Mac, don't just blindly choose macOS as you won't find any.
