I think about buying the Sims 4(I know I am pretty late for a fan). I have a Late 2009 MacBook. I checked the minimum System Requirements for Mac and it seems like i meet all of them except my processor and my graphic card. Am i able to run Sims 4(with minimum Settings) or will there be many bugs or crashes?
You can return the game - for any reason - within 24 hours of starting it up. Check the link for more details.
Also, if/when you do try the game, I'd recommend running with a Clean Boot. This should reduce the number of 3rd party programs that might consume resources, and may help the game run more smoothly. Check the spoilered section for a mini-tutorial.
To run a Clean Boot on your MAC: Make sure Auto Login is Off:
Go to System Preferences in the Apple menu
Open the Users and Groups panel
Click the Lock at the bottom corner and enter your password if needed
Click on Login Options, find Automatic Login, and select Off. Note, this can always be turned back on after the Clean Boot process is complete.
Log-in and complete the following steps to clean boot:
Go to the Apple menu and Restart
Once restarted, type your username and password but do not hit enter upon completion.
Instead hold the Shift key as you click the loginbutton.
Your user account will load without additional startup-items, or applications. Release Shift once your icons and desktop appear.
After completing these steps on MAC, some less necessary programs and customization options that normally start-up when you log-in will have been disabled.
