Does anyone play The Sims 3 with MacBook Pro 2017?

Hey again, Luka!

I have good news, and bad news to you.

I found this thread earlier today: Will the Sims 3 work on the New MacBook Pro 2016, 13inch, Touch Bar?

Here, both a person with the latest MacBook Pro 13-inch and 15-inch shared their experiences.

The one with the 13-inch said she had nothing but good experiences, and that she had not encountered no issues, as for now.

The one with the 15-inch (I guess it's relevant to say she had specd up her Graphics Card to AMD Radeon Pro 460) could not get the game to run at all. This, of course, makes me depressed, as this is the computer I am going to buy this summer. But, as I also said, I'll keep being an optimist 😁 Maybe the person didn't install it propperly, or something else was in the way.. I will still keep my promise and share my feedback with you as soon as I get my hands on my own ^^

Have a great day!

I am wondering this too!

When I bought my Mac Mini with full specs, I really hoped I would be able to play Sims 3 decently, but it all turned out to be a disaster.

I could not play Sims 3 in MacOS because the game kept crashing, and having sever graphical corruptions. When I started the game in Windows 10, it was playable, but still, I was really disappointed not being able to play the game on more than low-mid-settings.

But, I have learned by my mistakes. When playing Sims 3, the graphics card on your Mac/PC is essential for having a decent gaming-exerience. You may have 16GB of RAM, and an i7 processor, but if your graphics card is not compatible with Sims 3, then you'll not have a decent experience.

I found a list on Mod The Sims showing every compatible graphics cards, so I suggest you check it out there (:

This summer, I will buy a max specd MacBook Pro 2017, I will try to remember your post and come back with some feedback from my experience playing the game (: I have no plans installing Windows on that one too though, I feel Windows is so slow compared with MacOS, at least on my Mac Mini.

Again, I will try to remember your post!

Happy simming 😀 Sul sul 😍

Here is the list of all guaranteed supported graphics cards for Sims 3. None of the cards available for the latest MacBook Pro line-up is mentioned, but I will keep being an optimist 😝🙂

Hello again, I just received my latest MacBook as I mentioned earlier.

Sims 3 did not work at all, every time I tried to open the program, I got the message "An unexpected error has occured". I have tried to work myself around this bug, all from manuall super-patch updates, to editing game-files. I have also tried installing the game with not only Origin, but also CD, but both gave the same results. I am therefore sorry to tell that Sims 3 is utterly trash on the latest MacBook Pro (2.9GHz i7, Radeon 460).
