I have OSX Catalina and it works. Yes you download the 64 bit & Metal starterpack.. then you can go into expansions menu after you click on starter pack in yr library and you can purchase the expansions.. the game is no fun without them..

Hi I don’t own sims 3 yet but I want to get it on my MacBook Air. I just want to be clear that I know what to do. So I download the sims 3 starter pack on origin, a 64 bit version of the game should appear in my library and then I download that one. Is that correct? Also this does actually run on mac right? I heard it didn’t work at first but I also saw on the EA forums that it works now. I’m confused but if you could please answer me that would be great.

Hi does anyone know why my games are coming up as ‘unlocked’ but not letting me download them?

I have no issues with Sims 3 running on my PC. I also have windows install on my MacBook, even though I have minors issues with sims 3 on Mac, it works better on the windows side than on the Mac side. I have all the expansion packs and mods installed. So yea I do agree its the computer and not the game. I haven’t upgrade my Mac yet, but hopefully Sims 3 works alot better for the new macOS.

After numerous errors on their tech support website I managed to have a live chat with customer support. They said numerous people are having this problem and they’re “diligently” working on a solution.

Actually, Sims 2 runs pretty well on modern computers. If you don’t overloadit with CC and mods, it runs better than Sims 4 😉

There are no plans to at this current time. If people keep bugging them about it, it might still happen at some point.

Thats why I could never get into it, i don’t even have any cc and I shouldn’t have to wait 10 minutes from run to splashscreen to gameplay. Then it felt I had to wait forever just make a simple change in CAS. We got open world, so what those long loading times are stil there they have been moved somewhere else.

Won’t happen, the only reason they went through the trouble of making a 64bit version for Mac is because they wouldn’t be able to keep selling it on that platform otherwise.
