The Sims 3 for MACBOOK PRO OS X 10.7.5

Will it run? Because when I first purchased this macbook, I also purchased The Sims 3 and it would not run properly. The graphics were off and it was laggy. I really enjoyed this game and would like to purchase it again but I do not want to waste money if it is not compatable. In addition, if it is not currently compatable, can something be added to my MacBook Pro in order for it to run properly? Thank you.

  • Mac OS X 10.5.7 Leopard or higher
  • Intel Core Duo Processor
  • 2 GB RAM
  • ATI X1600 or Nvidia 7300 GT with 128 MB of Video RAM, or Intel Integrated GMA X3100.
  • At least 6.1 GB of hard drive space with at least 1 GB of additional space for custom content and saved games
  • This game will not run on PowerPC (G3/G4/G5) based Mac systems, or the GMA 950 class of integrated video cards.


Those are EA games requirements for the sims 3

I have OS X 10.7.5

2.3 Ghz Inter core i5 processor

I have Intel HD graphics 3000 384 MB ( which im guessing is the problem )

I have contacted EA games before and they said my graphics card needed to be higher, which I didnt understand considering I bought a brand new macbook pro...but regardless, if this is the case, what do I need to purchase for my Macbook in order to make this run properly?
