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.
MacBook Pro
What are the system requirements for Sims, and does your computer meet those?
COntact Sims support.
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?
Contact Sims support
And they said?

To contact apple. Which is why im here now.
No one from Apple here - we're users just like you.
I would suspect that your built-in Intel 3000 would handle the game quite well. Ask the company if you can return the game for a full refund if it won't work on your machine - given the minimum requirements that you posted, I can see no reason why it shouldn't.
