      iMacs tend to run Sims much better than MacBooks as they are desktop computers. I don't see why it shouldn't.

      I just looked up a benchmark of the Graphics card, it is a little slower (it seems) than the one I have (R9 390M). I play the game on 1920x1080 and most settings on high.
      Specifically: (My game is on Danish, so my translation might not be exact)
      Sims: High
      Objects: High
      Light: High
      Reflections: High
      Visuel effects: High
      Rounded corners: Medium
      3D-scene-resolution: High
      View distance: High
      Uncompressed simtexture: off
      Afterprocesseing: On (Guess it is nowhere near the correct translation, it is checkbox nr. 2)
      Laptop mode: off

      Vertical sync is also off, and so is Retina-resolutions.
      My game is average on 40-45 fps.

      I have a few expansions and game packs installed.

      Sweet. Can you post a picture of what the game generally looks like on those settings? I am curious.

      I can actually do a little bit better than a picture. I made a review of my iMac when I bought it. You can see it running here: https://youtu.be/8BKCXTLWkn0?t=11m3s
      I am 11 minutes and 3 seconds into the review, when The Sims 4 is loaded.
