I have, with ‘s help managed to keep the game running all up to High Sierra, but this update appears to have been the last straw that broke the camel’s back. Re: Does Sims 3 work on macOS High Sierra? Are you currently running it in Sierra? Using CC/Mods is at your own risk, EA are not responsible for making the game compatible with 3rd party content, the creator is. Sims 3 isn’t technically supported on any versions of macOS after 10.9 Mavericks as it hasn’t had an update since January 2014. Is the Sims 3 compatible with macOS Sierra? Whilst this fix is working for some, unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work for everyone. If you would like to play the game on your Mac with these graphics you have to edit the GraphicsCards.sgr and GraphicsRules.sgr files. The Sims 3 is not compatible on Macs which only have integrated Intel Iris graphics.

The Sims 3 was not native to OS X, hence all the problems. If you would like to play the game on your Mac with these graphics you have to edit the GraphicsCards. There can also be other reasons which you can find here.The Sims 3 is not compatible on Macs which only have integrated Intel Iris graphics.

If you have general space issues you can store your Sims 4 folder externally or in the cloud using alternate methods.įor issues with CC and Mods not appearing in-game the same instructions apply. Your game will then happily be able to load your previous save from your Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 folder. This means that your Documents folder will stay localised on your Mac and not be pushed to the cloud. Disable Optimise Mac Storage so files are not automatically moved to the cloud when internal storage is getting full.Open System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud Drive then click on the Options button and uncheck the box next to Desktop & Documents Folder.You can get round this by freeing up space on your Mac so it starts storing the files locally again: So every time your game loads it is recreating a brand new Sims 4 user data folder because it cannot find the original. If you have Optimise Mac Storage enabled in the System Preferences > iCloud settings, iCloud will store your Documents folder in the cloud where your game will not look for it when your internal storage starts filling up. Even though your Documents folder is being stored in the cloud, your Mac is also storing a copy locally so your game will keep loading your saves. Is the game like new again every time you start it up and all your previous progress is gone? If so then iCloud has been set to move your Documents and Desktop folders to iCloud. If you are running macOS Sierra 10.12 or later and have iCloud Drive enabled then you may be having an issue with your saves. Lines appearing over UI at bottom of the screenġ & 2 – are game breakers unless you update your version of macOS through the Mac App Store.ģ – may be fixed by turning off Edge Smoothing.Ĥ – can be fixed by playing in windowed mode.ĥ – can be fixed by disabling Retina display in the in-game graphics optionsĦ – can be fixed by not skipping through the loading screens when launching the gameĨ – can be fixed by editing the GraphicsRules.sgr file (follow link above).Cannot run the game in macOS 10.12 Sierra with AMD GPUs.Cannot run the game in macOS 10.11 El Capitan.

If you’re on a Mac and no longer experiencing one or more of these issues please let me know so I can feel slightly happier that we’re not seemingly being overlooked again: has just been released with various bug fixes, none of which seem to address the multitude of Mac specific bugs starting to pile up.
