When I first pulled up the game I was greeted with a loud wheezing fan sound that sounded like the computer itself was going to overheat. Lets start with the basics, literally the Sims 3 Base Game. This is also a thread based on my personal experience of playing the game, all macs are different and some may not be able to handle as much. Just a quick reminder though, this is not a thread for complaining about EA, this is for information on how well your mac can handle Sims 3. Feel free to add on comments if you have any tips to also keep your mac regarding the Sims 3. I will also be discussing some glitches I have encountered playing the Sims 3 and the best way to keep your mac safe from overheating from Sims 3. If you do not have it then you will need to contact EA Customer Support who can verify your account and give you your product code to enter.I thought this would be a good topic to start regarding macs and what they can handle regarding Sims 3. If you have this from a disc copy that you had of the game just enter it and go through the installation procedure.
