Sims 4 Free Trial For Mac

  • Yo,
    I think there was a thread discussing the same thing, but I can't remember the title. Anyway some say you can run TS4 on the mac via bootcamp, others are having problems. Hope that helps a bit.

  • You can run it perfectly fine through Bootcamp, that's what I'm doing.

  • Yes it should work just fine. I've boot camped my Mac before with no problems. Just make sure you burn a driver CD/DVD before you get started and back up your files just in case. Depending on your Macs video, you may have to lower some of your graphics settings in game to run it..and of course you need a copy of Windows 7 or 8.
    Thank you EA and thank you Maxis.we got our babies back, Yay!
  • @JaciJade I don't have a CD/DVD drive on my 13 inch! I'm sure theres a way to back it up.. still trying to get used to all this stuff

  • Vampirs would be correct on that. It will offer to put your drivers on a USB stick if you need to.

  • I played Sims3 on the bootcamp side of my mac as I had less problems that way and I'm planning on running Sims4 on it too when it finally gets released tomorrow to us in Aus.
  • Hmm bootcamp is working out to be a very expensive way of doing things. Is it worth it?

    The only expense is paying for the windows OS (and possibly an external drive if your computer doesn't have a cd port)..lol
    Running flawlessly on my mac right now! I think its worth it.

    I don't have a CD port. Is there no way to just download it ? haha. I can't get Windows 7 and Windows 8 is 140 euro!! :'(
    I'm actually tempted to cancel my vacation just to get this. UGGGGGGGGH

    Mine doesn't have a CD port either, I'm on a 2011 MacBook air. I use an external drive, you plug it into the usb port and you can run CDs on it.
    I think you'd have to buy the physical windows cd, you might be able to install it on a usb drive but I'm not totally sure how.

    MacBooks have very plum video cards. You may have some serious performance issues. (I love Macs but laptops are equipped with very basic GPUs).

    out of curiosity, doesn't the new Sims games since sims 3 have mac installers already? I mean no porting needed just drop in and play. To what ends does using boot camp (with a windows OS installed) do that a native installer doesn't?
    pardon my ignorance if there isn't a mac installer on TS4, Just asking.

    Nope! No Mac installer with this one, and no idea when it'll be released! It's a joke!
  • I haven't got the full game yet but I've been running the demo on high graphics on my 2011 MBP and it's worked perfectly! Fingers crossed the same will be true when I load the game

    Well that's sad. Now I guess the bigger question is why would people be doing this boot camp thing on TS3 as well when it did have mac installers..
    Also on that note I vaguely wish they would do linux installers. I'm not a big fan of windows.
  • Okay, just found out my dad has a copy of Windows 7 Professional that he got with his laptop. Now just have to find a 4gb USB and figure out how to bootcamp!!
  • Hiya,<br />
    <br />
    I've never used Bootcamp, but with no release date for MAC in sight I'm tempted to try it! <br />
    <br />
    Is anybody using it/used it in the past?<br />
    <br />
    Thanks a mill

    yeah, but it crashed on me after about 1 hour. I lost my progress so I am annoyed with that but I expected it too. I don't plan to play on my mac seriously I have a desktop for that.
  • @dancingindior Use a USB Storage Device then.

    How can it be done through usb? My bootcamp doesn't give me the option to create a windows 7 install disk.

    I'm on a 2011 iMac with an AMD Radeon 6970M. I had problems running the Sims 3 under Mac OS 10.7 going forward until Maverick's was released. For OS X 10.8 I was running it on Bootcamp. I tried Parallel's, but kept getting errors and the game would freeze. After the Parallel's update to version 9, it ran fine, but I was able to run Sims 3 on Mac just fine. I tried to Sims 4 Create A Sim Demo on Parallel's and it worked fin, so I decided to purchase Sims ,4 because I love the Sims and run it on Parallels. It ran find under 'Create A Sim' and in 'Build Mode', however, once I started to interact with each Sim, the game would quit and I'd lose everything. This happened about 4 times, so I'm going to reinstall Bootcamp and Windows 7 and see if it works that way. I've read a few posts w/other Mac users w/who have been playing fine on Bootcamp with Sims 4, so I'm hopeful. I only have about 19 hours before I can return the game to Origin should it continue to freeze on me. Oh well, at least Sims 3 still works fine for me. I refuse to be buy a PC for a game. Come on EA, let's get a Mac port out, pronto!
  • I'm playing it on my bootcamp side with no problems after about 6 hours of gameplay.
  • I forgot to update but the game runs perfectly for me. Looks great and barely any lagging on high settings.

    You can also use a USB flash drive -- I think a 16GB will be more than enough, but not sure if everything will fit on an 8GB drive.

    I had to Boot Camp Windows 7 on mine when I was running into 'unknown errors' trying to do a re-install on my iMac. While I didn't appreciate the hassle or the extra cost, I have to admit that Sims 3 ran like a dream after that. And Sims 4 is running very well. Boot Camp is taking full Windows and putting it on the iMac; it became possible to do that when Apple switched from the Motorola PowerPC processors to the same Intel processors used by Windows PC manufacturers. Sims 3, on the other hand, was a Windows program that was wrapped in an emulation program called Cider, which might work okay for casual games but wasn't up to the job of handling processor-intensive and graphics-rich environments like The Sims. At least EA seems to have learned their lesson from that and didn't try to use Cider to make a version that would run badly on Macs -- just no word as to how long we'll have to wait for a Mac version.
