Sims on macbook pros

Will the game Sims cause problems on my macbook pro?

I think that the Sims runs fine on my macbook pro. I only started having problems when I downloaded some bad custom content. If you already have the disc, you should just install it. The worst thing that will happen is that you wont like how it preforms and then you can uninstall it. Sims runs way better on my macbook (pre-bad content), then my sisters dell with windows!

  • 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.

  • Sims 3 macbook pro

    Is there anyway I can get the sims 3 to work on my macbook pro? I have os x mountain lion

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The Sims 3 works on OS X Mountain Lion, but it's not officially supported as it has got some compatibility issues. Have you tried to install the game?

  • Sims on Macbook Pro

    Just bought the 2.53 macbook pro 13" model. First of all, the registration code didn't work. The continue button was still grayed out when I entered the code. However, after typing the first letter in the code, the button was active and allowed me to install it.
    Now the darn thing keeps crashing on me and I am wondering if this might have had anything to do with it. I heard that TM makes it crash but I haven't yet configured TM.
    Thanks for your help!

    Well:
    This happened yesterday and I was planning to call tech on Monday. Just thought I would try here first.

  • How to Install Sims 3 on a MacBook Pro?

    How do I install Sims 3 on my MacBook Pro?
    When I put the disk in, it spins and then stops. The sims doesn't show up on my desktop. What should I do?

    Finder/Preferences/General - Do you have CDs, DVDS, and iPod checked to show on desktop?

  • Sims 3 crashes all the time on new MacBook Pro, what do I do?

    Got a brand new MacBook Pro 13inch (not retina) for Christmas. I was advised when buying the Mac to update the ram if I wanted to use it for playing the Sims 3 (which I did). Previsoulsy I had a Sony VAIO (top spec) in which the Sims 3 worked on for years, however the past few months it started to crash saying "unexspected error". I thought at the time it was just my laptop starting to give in, as I had it for 6 years and was used everyday.
    However I have just installed all my Sims 3 discs to my Mac and the exact thing is happening. Im not very tech when it comes to these things, all I can guess is maybe one of the games is corrupt? Or there is something wrong with the disc? I have purchased a new exspansion pack which should be here tomorrow to see if the problem is with the disc I am using now.
    Any help would be appreciated, as one of the main reasons I bought my new Mac was because I thought the Sims 3 would work on it efficantley.
    Many Thanks,
    Rebecca

    Rebecca,
    have you checked on the EA Web site to see if The Sims 3 requires a downloadable update to be able to run on whichever version of OS X is currently installed on your MacBook Pro?

  • How can I install Sims 2 on my Macbook Pro?

    I can't figure out how to install Sims 2 on my Macbook Pro.. Anyone know how?

    That game is over seven years old.  It can't run on any mac in OS X that has 10.7 or later installed.  Are you trying to install in OS X or in a Windows partition?  Also, what happens when it tries to install?  If it mentions something about "PPC", it can't run in OS X. 10.7 or later.

  • How can I keep my MacBook Pro from heating up and crashing when I play Sims 3?

    I have a MacBook Pro that is only about 9 monthes old. When I play Sims 3 on my computer it heats up very quickly. I can get about an hour of game play before the computer becomes slow and extremely hot. Then cetain parts of the screen turn white untill the whole screen turns white and a message appears saying something about an error happening. I am not sure if it has something to do with the computer heating up or if it's a EA problem. But if anyone has had a similar experience and knows how to fix it, that would be great. Also, any tips on how to keep my computer cool while playing games or watching movies would be great.
    Thank you!

    Your computer is going to run hot while playing CPU/GPU intensive games - it should heat up and the fans should be noticably loud. As to why it's 'crashing' - can you post a kernel panic log? You may have some third-party kexts that are causing the problems.

  • 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

  • How do I play Sims 3 on my Macbook Pro?

    I just bought The Sims 3 today for my Macbook Pro, and I can't seem to play it on my computer. I put the disc in, and the little booklet says:
    "To install on a Macintosh: 1. Insert the game disc into your DVD-ROM drive. A DVD icon representing the game disc appears on your desktop. Double-click the icon to open the game's launcher."
    Problem is, this "dvd icon" never shows up on the screen when the disc is in..

    Nevermind, I figured it out. lol

  • Sims 2 and Macbook pro?

    Hello. My daughter has an Acer laptop. We would like to buy her a new Macbook Pro for her birthday. She plays games on her Acer such as Sims 2 and Sims 3. It's obvious Sims 3 would work, but would all Sims 2 games be compatible with a Macbook Pro? Thanks.

    To use any Windows program on your mac you can you the virtualization route or install Boot Camp.  In both cases you need a valid, legal, Windows install disc.
    For Boot Camp you can start here: http://support.apple.com/manuals/#macos
    For Virtualization (my preference) you can start with any ot these:
    - Pay for:
      + Parallels (http://www.parallels.com)
      + VMWare Fustion (http://store.vmware.com/store/vmware/pd/productID.165310200/Currency.USD/?src=pa idsearch&resid=T5mwrwoBAlUAAFoYrmUAAAAv&rests=1335472302976)
    - Free

    After researching this topic, I found the placing an old SIM card in a new iPad would be impossible. There is no way for consumers to remove the back cover... Without dropping it off a building. My best suggestion: Use the current plan up first. Then buy a new plan.

  • My iphone4s died, mom gave me her old 3gs, i had to get a new sim to fit the 3gs, how can I sync all my old contacts? I have a macbook pro, tech told me that it would sync from my icloud but it has not. Thanks!

    Syncing the 3GS is exactly the same as syncing the 4S - so just do the same as you've been doing.
    How do you normally sync contacts from your Mac to your iPhone? Via iTunes over USB/WiFi, or via iCloud?

  • MacBook Pro with SIM-Card.

    MacBook Pro: How can I connect to my internet provider without WLAN? I have a SIM-Card.

    Just after having the communication in January in this forum I solved the problem quite easily with an adapter with the name D-Link (3G HSUPA USB ADAPTER DWM-156). I place the SIM card in this adapter and stick the adapter in the USB-socket and the installed SW (delivered in package) starts. The SW lets me manage the connection and offers some usefull statistical data.
    It really doesn't make sense that the Macbook doesn't have a drawer like iPhone or iPad to use the SIM card.
