• Does The Sims 3 Work On Macbook Air

When we upgraded all our Macs to macOS Sierra, my daughter was upset because Sims 3 broke. After much scouring of the internet, I found the solution and tweeted about it:

My daughter's fave game, Sims 3, was getting stuck on the loading screen in Sierra. This Info.plist edit fixed it: https://t.co/HzjgWnB7cr

Does The Sims work on Macs? Asked by Wiki User. Wiki User Answered. 2010-03-26 16:-03-26 16:22:23. You need a mac version, but yes. It does work on macs. Check here to find out if your PC or Mac can run The Sims 4 and The Sims 4 Expansion Packs. We no longer support The Sims 4 on the macOS Lion (10.7) operating system. If you want to keep playing the game while running macOS Lion, do not update The Sims 4 to any future game patches. As far as I am aware, there are currently no plans to release the trial or CAS demo for Mac, sorry. But if you buy the game on Mac, you can automatically play it on Widows as well. Just log into Origin using your account on a Windows PC and you should be able to play after downloading/installing the game (no need for a second code). When playing Sims 3, the graphics card on your Mac/PC is essential for having a decent gaming-exerience. You may have 16GB of RAM, and an i7 processor, but if your graphics card is not compatible with Sims 3, then you'll not have a decent experience. My 2011 MacBook Pro finally kicked the bucket (RIP) and so I’m in need of a new laptop. I have bought Sims 4 and a ton of expansions digitally via Origin on my Mac and was wondering whether they would work if I re-downloaded them on a PC?

It dawned on me, though, that if that forum post ever vanishes, I'll be in trouble with future new Macs and/or reinstalls, so I thought I'd document it here, too. https://herewfiles385.weebly.com/nuclear-throne-update-98-free-for-mac.html. Read no further unless you (or a family member) play Sims 3 and want to get it working in macOS Sierra. And really, try the linked forum post first; this is just a backup plan.

The following is quoted verbatim as posted by user 'Ashpeef' on the Sims forums. I organized it as a numbered list and formatted some text, but left the content unchanged. Mac convert pdf to pages.

It's probably the Launcher that crashes at the time it hands over control to the game itself. You could try starting the game directly, bypassing the Launcher. Here's how (also a rather long story, I'm afraid.) :lol:

1. Within your Applications folder, locate and open the folder The Sims 3
2. Find the application The Sims 3.app, then right click (or hold the Control key and click if you can't right click) to get the context menu.
3. In that menu, select Show Package Contents. A new window opens with only one item: the folder Contents
4. Within that folder there is a file info.plist (usually the second item)
5. Right or Control click that file for the context menu and there select Open With
6. You'll probably have to scroll down almost to the bottom of the list to find TextEdit.app. Use that program to open the file.
7. Now the real thing: locate the line <key>CedegaGameName</key> about 2/3rds down. Note: not the one just above it with CedegaGameDir!
8. The next line should end .Bin/S3Launcher.exe</string>
9. Change S3Launcher.exe to TS3W.exe and save the file.

The next time you start the game, it should begin straight away with the EA and Maxis logos. Moneywiz 1 5 4. How do i open my external hard drive on mac.

If you later on want to start with the Launcher again, just do the same thing, this time changing TS3W.exe back into S3Launcher.exe

To make this easier to do in the future, I made an alias of the info.plist file in our Documents folder. And as I'm not a masochist, I used BBEdit, not TextEdit, to edit the file.
