Does my MacBook Air runs SIMS 3?

I bought my Mac this year and I am now wondering if it runs SIMS 3 without any disturbance. My last computer broke because of this game, so I‘m rather afraid to install it.

The processor is Intel Core i5 and it’s speed 1,8 GHz. The store is 8GB. Is that everything you need to know, to answer the question?

Greetings mariebrasil99,

Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! I understand you're curious if your Mac is able to support running The Sims 3 video game.

The following support article from EA provides the hardware requirements to run The Sims 3: System Requirements - The Game - Community - The Sims 3

FOR MAC OS X
  • 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.

Cheers.
