That’s all well and good for those of us with superfast broadband but for others it means a painful wait. That means if you want The Sims 4 on Mac, digital download is the only way to get your hands on it. There are a few issues that I am still experiencing as highlighted above, that I hope EA will iron out pretty quick.Unfortunately, there won’t be any physical copies of The Sims 4 for Mac being sold in stores. Mac users can now rejoice and play alongside PC simmers without having to use Windows. I have always said that waiting for a decent Mac port is always worth it and that has been the case with The Sims 4. In terms of lag, the game will go from buttery smooth to being extremely laggy and slow, which is sometimes resolved by restarting the game. Although it’s as if the game struggles when the camera is facing a certain way on some lots/in some neighbourhoods. I am yet to identify anything that is triggering this but it continues even if I lower the graphics settings.Īs I said at the start, The Sims 4 on Mac is a solid port which I am extremely happy to see. Graphical issues have included the world suddenly flashing black and a radiation of black coming from a specific area covering the screen (recreated in the picture below). While I mostly have positive things to say about The Sims 4 on Mac, there are a few problems that I have encountered while playing the game, mainly graphical glitches and enormous lag spikes.
This is on my Late 2012, 21.5-inch iMac with a 512mb GDDR5 NVIDIA graphics card with settings on high and objects on medium. The game starts up quickly from Origin, the game is buttery smooth (most of the time) and I achieve a steady 30-50 frames per second while playing, depending on what I am doing. Many Mac users resorted to playing Sims 3 on Bootcamp (which allows you to run Windows) on their Macs, however I’m confident that Mac users will not even have to think about doing this with The Sims 4! By that I mean the performance is on-par with the Windows version of the game which I truly didn’t expect following Sims 3 on Mac. Thankfully, The Sims 4 for Mac is a solid port.
