will the Sims 4 run on my MacBook Air?
I know this is asked A LOT but I've done a lot of Googling and gotten so much contradictory information that I thought I would ask my own question. SO: will the Sims 4 run on my Macbook Air?
The specs are:
MacBook Air 13inch 2017
1.8 GHz intel core i5 (dual core)
8 GB 1600 MHz memory
Intel HD graphics 6000
I've read that the Sims requires at least a 2GHz processor, while others say at least 1.8 or even 1.6. my macbook air notes that its maximum processing speed is 2.9.
My main questions are these: will the Sims run on my laptop? is 1.8 GHz enough? and importantly, do I run the risk of damaging/permanently slowing down my laptop? (I've also looked into TurboBoost but I'm not comfortable installing a kernel - way out of my skill set).
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me! <3
It should run ok and you have plenty of RAM. But and there is a "but" please note the following.
1) You should not run on Ultra High graphic settings as this can damage your Mac in the long run.
2) Remember that the more content you add, the slower your game will run.
3) Adding a lot of CC will also slow down your game.
4) Play with your Mac elevated and to be on the safe side on a cooling mat. Never play any games or work on your Mac on a pillow or comforter.
I think that's most everything. @Bluebellflora, did I forget anything?
