That's not the sort of question that can be answered here. If and when there's any information on such things, we'll be sure to announce it.
And please lay off the allcaps, it can give a poor impression. - Anonymous11 years ago
We are in the dark of the Release date. I begining to think that EA isn't even working on a Mac version at all. Even when they say they are working on it.
It sounds more like we just getting start on it or Now we start pretending to care.
They don't have the guts to give us the MAC USERS ANY release date.

At least you, DancingDan, could find your answer on the official The Sims 4 FAQ:
I. I'm in the dark. They havn't made a release statement about Linux. My Ubuntu installation hungers for some native The Sims 4 installation.
We could ofc. ponder the implications of a situation where developers had to mention what operating systems they weren't releasing on. I can already imagine it. I can already imagine the packageing:

I'm not a EA Fan any more. I'm going to be a 2K Fan since they are customer friendly to both PS4 & XBox1.
EA JUST DOESN'T CARE ABOUT MAC USERS AT ALL.

So because EA hasn't released The Sims 4 on Mac you are now a fan of 2K because they publish games on Playstation and Xbox...How does that even make sence?
Also, notice I just have the Hero title in here, I don't work for EA if that's what you are thinking.

That's not it. I'm Tired of EA don't give MAC Users.
I was a fan of the First 3 Sims games but when I found out that we MAC users won't get the WORLD TOOL ON MACS. NOW NO COMMENT or Acting they care about MACs when we MAC Users knows it's hog wash.
I'm just putting my feelings into this thread. Since EA doesn't care about MAC Users at all.

There's a difference between "don't care" and "it financially doesn't make any sence to do it" or "we simply don't have the resources to do it"
Anyways, if you want to play The Sims 4 using a mac you can always use Bootcamp. This is a one of the many guides out there:

I heard from my cousins whose good at computers. They both say that Bootcamp a MAC cost more than a MAC does with hidden fees.
Plus I don't know how to Bootcamp anyway. I will never will. Just cause I trust my cousins more than the SNOBS AT EA.

Bootcamp is just running a Windows OS within Mac. It essentially makes the Mac a Windows machine. I can't speak on costs vs performance, though I'm sure many have opinions to that effect.
On your main issue the extent of the information we have so far is: "We know our players on Mac are looking to hear more. We are working on it. When we have more to share, we’ll bring the news to you right here."Source: http://www.thesims.com/en_GB/news/ts4-announce-Oct14
Now I understand that you're eager to pay the game on Mac, but posting disruptively and slinging insults isn't going to help anyone.

I have a rediculessly long and in depth manifesto typed up for you about this... but decided not to post it; I think I made the correct choice.
Hidden fees? Costs more to bootcamp a Mac than the Mac itself? Two people said this? Rejecting outright one of the most important and useful tools at your disposal living in a world that's front end is dominated by Windows? (OSX has 6.38% market share btw) ... I'm not even going to touch this with a 10 foot pole. Good gravy.
