first off, has it ever worked on your machine?
If no, then this is what i suspect.
The Sims 2 has a minimum req'ments that state
+* Operating System: Mac OS X 10.3.8 or later+
+* CPU Processor: PowerPC G4/G5+
+* CPU Speed: 1.2GHz or faster+
+* Memory: 256 MB or higher+
+* Hard Disk Space: 3GB free disk space+
+* Video Card (ATI): Radeon 9000 or better+
+* Video Card (NVidia): GeForce FX5200 or better+
+* Video Memory (VRam): 32 MB or higher+
+* Media Required: DVD Drive+
asfaik the macbook has an integrated graphics card, and there fore does not meet the minimum requirement for playing the sims 2.
hope this helps.
if anyone knows better, feel free to correct me.

If I buy an external hard drive for my new MacBook Pro with the retina display, can I play The Sims 3 on it?

Hi!
I recently bought the new MacBook Pro with the new retina display, but since it does not have a dvd/cd drive, I was going to buy an external one. I think I will be able to use it to watch dvds, but can I also play the computergame The Sims 3 on it? If not is there anything else I can do?
Thank you!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can try formatting the external drive on your eMac using Disk Utility and choosing a well-known format > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html. It's quite possible that your new iMac would be able to read it, but first, tell us which formats Disk Utility lists.
If you have those songs in iTunes, simply go to Music folder and copy the iTunes folder to the external drive. Then, connect it to the iMac and copy the iTunes folder to Music folder.
If they are not in iTunes, copy your songs to the external drive. Then, connect it to your new iMac, open iTunes and drag the songs into it

PROBLEMS INSTALLING THE SIMS ON MACBOOK

I have tried installing The Sims the mac version on my macbook several times. Usually it says error-36, unable to complete installation.
I was not sure if the ownership settings on user data was the problem, since they are set for read only to everyone and staff, but for me it says read and write. I am not sure what the problem is. Help?

when i bought the game from the apple store the guy said he had the same game and he got it to work on his macbook.
I'd suggest you go back to the Apple Store and ask that guy how he got it to work. I won't say it's impossible, but Aspyr won't support it and all I can find via a web search are people who've had the same or similar problems with no solutions posted. Unless someone else here knows of a workaround, you may be out of luck.
do you think i could still get my money back if i don't have the receipt and it has been more than 3 months?
No, I think that it will be impossible by this time to get your money back. Very few retailers will allow returns on opened software at all and after three months I know of none who would take it back, particularly without the receipt.

Because in my macbook pro will not let me open The Sims 3?

because in my macbook pro will not let me open The Sims 3?
Whenever I try to open the application icon starts jumping and then disappears

Says it works with 10.7, problems with 10.8 though.
Reinstall the program and trash the Dock icon, then make a new one and see if that works.
Then Trash it's preference file and relaunch the program to create a new one
Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file
If not then run through this, could be a sign of something bigger

How well does MacBook air Perform with the sims 2?

I don't know how you apple lovers did this to me but.. God, after yeas of hating Mac for no appearent reason and favoring microsoft, worshiping Bill gates someone handed me an iPhone and it was love at first touch. I'm sorry Bill I can no longer resist apple's incredible products! Time to get my first apple computer! Bottom line I love the sims 2 and wish to have a laptop that plays it easily. I've got my eyes on the latest MacBook pro, is it captable? The bigger issue is the price.. One thousand dollars is already a ton of money but amazingly I'm willing To spend just that but two thousand dollars is out of the question.. I need a MacBook of any sort that will play the sims 2 at least and a decent screen resolution.. I'm probably better off with a windows vista. Prove me wrong!

I have several other Macromedia applications - but not Air. But if the other applications are an indication, boot is going to be slow (around a minute); Air's dependence on Flash will guarantee relatively slow performance. As you know, most other applications boot in seconds.
Your best solution would be to download the free part of the programs to determine if you find the performance acceptable.

I am having trouble installing the Sims 3 on my macbook pro.

When I try to install the Sims 3 base game, the installer comes up as it should... but when I try to proceed a message comes up saying the power pc application is no longer supported. My macbook runs on the OS x mavericks operating system, does this system not support the Sims? Someone help please!

Either the installer or the game, or both, are written for Apple's pre-Intel machines. If I were you, I would contact Electronic Arts and see if there is an update to the version that you have.

The Sims 4 for Macbook Air

I have the 13 inch Macbook Air and I have NEVER played the Sims on my Macbook before or my other laptop. I need to understand how this Origin thing works because I know that it says you need that to play The Sims. The point is that my Macbook does not have a disk drive to put the disk in. Once The Sims 4 comes out, what do I need to do in order to get The Sims 4 for my Macbook? Please help and also by informing me how this Origin process works. Thanks for your support!

EA has no updates on bringing the Sims 4 to the Mac. If and when it does you will be able to download the game to your computer. No disk drive needed.

The Sims 3 Macbook Pro model configuration?

I'm planning on buying a Macbook Pro but i want one that can run The Sims 3 on it. Can someone tell me what configurations i need and what Macbook Pro model i need? I also don't know if The Sims 3 is compatible with the Nvidia GT650M. I Have the CD for The Sims 3 but i'm not good at figuring out the requirements.

"I also don't know if The Sims 3 is compatible with the Nvidia GT650M. "
So when you asked the vendor

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?

Will I be able to play The Sims 2 on my MacBook Pro?

I have the mid-2012 MacBook Pro: 2.5 GHz processor, Intel HD 4000 Graphics, 4GB of memory, and masses of storage space left. Will I be able to play my PC copies of The Sims 2 using Boot Camp? I've been looking on the internet because I was unsure whether the graphics chip was good enough as it's not designed for gaming, and some people say it won't work, others say it will (presumably because it's a 10 year old game). If it will work, would I be able to install all the expansions? Our old desktop computer that it was installed on finally died at the exact moment that I suddenly became desperate to play The Sims, so I'm hoping you'll give me good news! Thanks.

It's version 10.9.4. I've not actually set Boot Camp up yet, my dad says he'll do it, but I'm going to put XP on. The base game needs 800 MHz processor, 256 Mb RAM, 3.5 Gb hard drive, and a 32 Mb T&L video card with DirectX 9.0 driver support. The expansion packs vary but need around 1.3 GHz processor, 256 MB - 1 GBRAM, 1.5 GB hard drive, and the same video card.
It's mainly the video card that I'm unsure of, as I assume the processor etc. can deal with a ten year old game but the video card isn't really designed for gaming. I'm hoping that it's not designed for gaming in the sense that it's not designed for modern games, but can cope with older ones. I've downloaded SimCity 4, The Movies, and Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 form the App Store and they're all fine.
P.S. - Ronda Wilson: I have the PC copies of the games already, so I'm kind of reluctant to buy a new game unless my games won't work. I've looked into The Sims 3 on Origin as back up plan though, because as you said it will run natively.

The Sims Complete Collection-Will it run on my MacBook Pro?

Hi everybody,
I have a MacBook Pro. Its got a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo processor. It's Version OS
X 10.4.11. I've been hearing conflicting statements from people on all different websites saying they've gotten The Sims Complete Collection to work on their Intel based mac, but then other people say they can't get it to work. Does anyone have a first hand experience with this game on a Intel based Mac? I would really appreciate some help since I was thinking about buying this game. I don't want to spend the money and find out that it won't work on my Intel-based Mac. Please help! Thanks!

Installing the Sims 3 on MacBook Air.

I tried to install the sims 3 on my new MacBook Air 11", but it keeps getting stuck with 7 minutes left, 486 of 517 files left to copy. I chose the proposed HDD.
Do you know any solution?
Thx

I would refer to the EA Games site and review the minimum system requirements for the Sims 3. They recently launched Origin for Mac which I believe sells Sims 3. Good luck!
