The Sims 4 continues the tradition of letting players create their own virtual personas, or “Sims”, dress them up, construct and decorate virtual homes for them, and live out their virtual lives. The game is the fourth installment in the Sims series and a sequel to 2009’s The Sims 3.Īfter more than two decades on the market, the series still has a dedicated fan base thanks to its realistic portrayal of everyday life. MacBooks aren’t built for gaming and Sims are notorious for frying computers (God, my younger self completely fried my family’s computer by trading Sims 2 expansion packages with my friends and downloading every single expansion onto it!) so just be careful and really just stick with 2-3 expansions, and maybe add a few mods that helps clearing unnecessary storage in the game.The Sims 4 is a social-simulation game developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts in 2014. That being said I do still think you need to be really careful with downloading sims on it, especially if you want to preserve the laptop and make sure it lasts for many years forward. Especially if you’re planning on regularly using it outside of Sims such as anything school/work related or playing other games on it.Įdit: I was wrong, apparently most of the MacBook laptops does have fans but it’s a built in ventilation. Really just pick the expansions you’re the most interested in and get those instead of every single one. Not sure about the computers though, never had one of those but it should probably be alright with 2-3 expansions if it’s a computer. Is it a Mac laptop or a Mac computer? I believe if it’s a laptop it might even struggle with the original sims 3 since the MacBooks doesn’t have a fan like a regular PC has so it will most likely get extremely overheated. My laptop is running nicely so far with these expansions but even though I’d like two more I won’t do it since it would make the loading much much slower, poor graphics and the game would most likely crash a lot more which I feel really ruins the whole sims experience.

I got a new gaming laptop earlier this year and have only dared to download three expansions and one add on. Ugh I’d honestly be really scared downloading ALL expansions onto a new Mac.
