I would opt for the MacBook Pro and make sure you have at least 8GB of RAM, more if you can afford it. Re: Which MacBook is best for Sims 4? Macbook Airs are not gaming computers to be honest and would struggle to run the game. Keep in mind the Air wasn't really built with any sort of gaming in mind(even light gaming) so it's possible it could run a little hot. If in doubt just check the game specs but you shouldn't have any problem. The easiest way is to install Origin on your Mac and download the game from there. I'm running the game on a MacBook Air just fine. The Sims 4, both in CD and digital edition, is compatible for Windows and MacOS, just as The Sims 3. To keep your MacBook cool, fans should turn on automatically. Games need that the CPU and the GPU work hard, and they are the parts that generate more heat. The MacBook Pro is made of aluminum, and this is the reason why it becomes quite hot quickly when you run a heavy app like games. Why does my Mac overheat when I play Sims? Apart from that, The Sims 4 won't ruin your MacBook. If it doesn't have the minimum specs then your MacBook can be damaged by heating, especially as internal components are highly sensitive to heat. Is Sims bad for Mac?Įnsure that your Macbook has the minimal specs required to run The Sims 4. After that, Origin will be started whenever you start Sims 4, but you can be offline. You can't: you have to register with Origin as part of the initial game install.
