This is just some information for those who may consider download the Golden Master release of macOS High Sierra.
The Sims 4 does start, but any camera movement causes instant lag, until the movement is over, then the game resumes normal operation, until the next camera movement. Then it lags again. And I mean badly.
At least that is my experience. I am playing on a 27" iMac 5k (late 2015)
Intel Core i5, quad core
16 GB ram
AMD Radeon R9 M390 2 GB

But almost all my games failed to start, so Time Machine just finished its restore 15 minutes ago.
No way to test further. Sorry.
That's a shame. You can find out by going into About This Mac > System Report > Extensions

Beta versions usually don't work well with certain programs in the beginning. Glad to know it's ok to update.
1. Dunno if it was High Sierra or just something with a game file, but last night I experienced lagging (nothing serious, actions was like 0,5-1 second behind, but it was constant and annoying!) so I saved and quit the game, thinking maybe a restart would help. When I got back to desktop I suddenly got a "The Sims 4 quit unexpectedly"-message (probably 2nd time ever this has happened with TS4 for me!). I tried repairing the game in Origin and started it up again, went to the same family (no progress was lost) and this time no lagging, I played for probably 30-40 minutes with no issues.
2. When I was quitting the game, I turned off the TV (which was on in the background) and I realised my Mac was strangely quiet. Usually the fan will kick in (on "medium" intensity I would say) after just a few minutes with TS4. Not that the computer was superhot, but if I had put on my thighs with nothing between it would be very uncomfortable. This could of course just be coincidence, might be I had been in built mode or CAS a bit just before I quit, which is less intensive, but I'm pretty sure I hadn't.

My specs are above if you want to know. Good luck!!
> I just tried running the game for the first time since updating and it's not working well. For some reason it now loads in a small window view and I can't enter full screen, even when selecting it. Not sure how to fix this. :(
And we're fixed! Looks like some weird settings got changed!
