    @BluebellFlora I don't have any mods. i'd like to just get my game back to the way it was when I first bought it. If there is something i can delete off my computer, and then have it reinstall itself, like with the other camera mode, i'd like to just do that.

    This is the Mac Help thread for the latest update to the Mac OS. You probably want to pose that question to someone in the General Discussion section of Sims 4.

    I've no idea what you tried to do but your iMacs specs. aren't very powerful. Upping to 8Gb RAM may help but your AMD graphics card is on the low side. If you haven't already, lower all your graphics settings in game to the minimum and cull your CC.

    The shiny Sims are related to specific CC. Move out your CC, repair your game and see if it still happens.

    Thank you so much! But it seems like just updating my mac did the trick.

    Okay so the graphics in my sims game get all crazy and glitchy and then my cursor goes to that multicolored 'busy' Icon and it does one of 2 things, freezes to the point where I have to force quit or just crashes altogether. I don't know why it is doing this, I have 8GB RAM, a 2.7GHz Intel Core i5 and Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB This buggy stuff started happening yesterday I usually have retina display on in game settings (I mean I paid $1700 for this laptop so I'm gonna use it) and I did not have laptop mode on. So now I have to take off retina display and enable laptop mode and MAYBE the game will work. I've had Sierra for a while so I'm really confused, did I screw up my graphics card somehow?

    Would the Sims 4 work on my Mac?

    I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)
    Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
    Graphics: Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB
    and I use macOS Sierra

    I'm mainly concerned about the graphics on my computer, I am fairly certain that they won't work with the Sims 3, but I would like to know if it is worth it to get the Sims 4.
  • drjmoowdrjmoow Posts: 52 Member
    I like the Sims 4, the game plot and features. I do wish that CAS is as creative as he Sims 3, but other than that I really don't have any major complaints. This thread called,The Sims 3 vs The Sims 4, might help you make a choice, good luck!

    Please note that MacBooks are not gaming computers. While the base game for Sims 4 may run fine, the more expansions, stuff packs and game packs you add may slow down or even make the game become unplayable. Since you haven't said how much RAM you have, you should have at least 8GBs to run the game ok.

    As for Sims 3 since you have a newer Mac, you could may be run the base game and one or two expansions. Please note that the newer graphics cards are not recognized and you will have graphics errors with Sims 3.

    I've recently updated to Sierra (Mac Pro 13" - 2.7Ghz i5) and my game works perfectly. I have all expansions, stuff packs, HEAPS of CC and no issues at all. The only issue I have experienced (but I don't think that's anything to do with the upgrade) is my photos I take in game show black and not a photo if I place it in the game.

    There is a Sims3 help section for the Mac. Please click on the Forum Topic Help Section and then on the Mac Discussions. When you post there, please include what kind of Mac you have, what version of the OS you are running and how much RAM you have.

    hey, so i'm not exactly sure if my issue is due to me updating to Sierra, but i think it has something to do with it. Now every time my game updates, i'll play & save, but when i go back into the game it makes me restart everything as if i just purchased the game and nothing is saved. I'll play for hours, build houses and create families and save the game 3 times, but once i go back into the game everything is gone & i have to restart. hopefully someone can help with this issue..

    Hello all, apologies if this has been covered - I have been going through all threads to find a solution to my problem but havent yet found one. I have recently re-installed the sims 3 back on my mac through Origin and manually (as origin asked to do this - some I have bought through origin and the rest I have on disc), it installed all smoothly but when clicking to play it seems to try to load and then I get the message - an unknown error has occurred. It does this with whichever expansion pack I try to load. I currently have MacOS Sierra but I have seen on most comments that Sims 3 seems to load and run smoothly so I am not quite sure what could be the issue. Although recently in the last year I have had issue with the Sims 4 having a lot bugs and crashes, but that is a different issue altogether - hopefully not related to re-installing sims 3. Hopefully you can all help? Online there isnt much to do with the sims 3 and sierra not working so hoping to get it sorted somehow. I did see on a different thread that possibly installing manually with the discs and not through origin could work? Thanks!

    This is my mac details:
    macOS Sierra

    Version - 10.12.1 Beta (16B2333a)
    iMac (27-inch, Late 2012)
    Processor - 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory - 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Startup disk - Macintosh HD
    Graphics - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M 512 MB

    Hey Roxy! This exact same thing happened to me. I spent about 4 hours total on the phone with EA customer service and finally got it fixed. All I did was create a new/additional user account on my mac, re-download origin to that new "sims" user account, logged into origin and now I can play the Sims 3! I hope this works for you! I have a Macbook Air running Sierra :)

    macOS Sierra

    Version - MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)
    Processor - 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory - 8 GB 18767 MHz DDR3
    Startup disk - Macintosh HD
    Graphics - Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB


    Thanks alot guys!
