I had to Boot Camp Windows 7 on mine when I was running into 'unknown errors' trying to do a re-install on my iMac. I played Sims3 on the bootcamp side of my mac as I had less problems that way and I'm planning on running Sims4 on it too when it finally gets released tomorrow to us in Aus. Come on EA, let's get a Mac port out, pronto! Oh well, at least Sims 3 still works fine for me. I only have about 19 hours before I can return the game to Origin should it continue to freeze on me. I've read a few posts w/other Mac users w/who have been playing fine on Bootcamp with Sims 4, so I'm hopeful. This happened about 4 times, so I'm going to reinstall Bootcamp and Windows 7 and see if it works that way. It ran find under 'Create A Sim' and in 'Build Mode', however, once I started to interact with each Sim, the game would quit and I'd lose everything. I tried to Sims 4 Create A Sim Demo on Parallel's and it worked fin, so I decided to purchase Sims ,4 because I love the Sims and run it on Parallels.

After the Parallel's update to version 9, it ran fine, but I was able to run Sims 3 on Mac just fine. I tried Parallel's, but kept getting errors and the game would freeze. For OS X 10.8 I was running it on Bootcamp.

I had problems running the Sims 3 under Mac OS 10.7 going forward until Maverick's was released. I'm on a 2011 iMac with an AMD Radeon 6970M. I don't even feel like a valued customer anymore, they're looking at $$$ instead! Free trial proves it.
They wouldn't even have done a free trial if the game wasn't doing so poorly. The fact that they are doing this now is really upsetting.ofcourse if they did it before no the game could ending even solding much less than what i selling now, they already gambled the number of needed peoples to get some money, now they are trying to get more with this trick if i had that time to test the game before i could be happy now with my 70(140) back at my pocket. They pulled this out of nowhere because their sales are doing bad. Free trial should have been before the release of the game. It isn't really up to Maxis when things are suppose to be due, if there is going to be a free trial, the prices, and all that.įree trials are great!! BUT they are doing so at the wrong time.
EA decided to allow Maxis to give people a free trial for 48 hours. Really unfair, this should have been done before the game was released. So they decide to do a free trial to try and get more people interested in the game. I would have loved to have a free trial BEFORE I decided to unfortunately spend my 60$ on a game, so I could know what I was really getting into.
