FATCAT 58,911 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Also, it's more than just a slight problem. I have the windows OS but for those who don't they would have to purchase the OS and maybe even a fusion application just to have the correct software to run The Sims 4. So that's hundreds of dollars spent on this game. Anyone without the money to buy Windows will find it (i.e pirate it), I'm not defending their decision, but it isn't the worst thing in the world. I can't be free if my hands are tied... 🧟♀️👰🏻 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just a whole lot of effort considering there should be some legal way for them to get the game if they have been loyal customers. It's not like nobody who had macs plays The Sims--Mac users are a significant part of the community. And it's stupid of EA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be a reason to not having Mac support, is the game CPU or RAM intensive? I can't be free if my hands are tied... 🧟♀️👰🏻 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essence 155 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) There might be a reason to not having Mac support, is the game CPU or RAM intensive? the Sims 3 was pretty RAM intensive, the minimum requirement is around 2 GB. However, one of the major advantages of The Sims 4 is its lowered required specifications. It requires much less ram supposedly, so they could have created a port or native version for Mac that was accesible to more devices. Also a huge issue with The Sims 3 was that really low end PCs couldn't run the game. Pretty much all non configured Mac could run it just fine as none of them come with under 2 GB of RAM. I think they were just too lazy to do something for the Mac users. Back when The Sims 3 was in development they actually postponed the entire launch of the game just to ensure that Mac users would be able to play it, and the game was a huge success at launch and throughout its run on both operating systems.

mcphee 1,778 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I'm completely uninspired by what they're showing us, the game looks good, but not a big enough upgrade from the sims 3 for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took out all the colour options to help with the speed of the game. It did because it is way faster than The Sims 3 but I really miss it :cry: Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
