Question

how do i install the sims to a mac? im pretty sure they're the pc versions but is there a way to install them onto the mac? i saw somewhere that if you install it under windows you'd be fine... how do i do that?

Answer 1

You can do it by virualization

See here

Edit: Apparently with this you can play PC games with it. It says so if you scroll down a bit

Answer 2

Which version of Sims do you have? Make sure it's a Mac version.

From what I can see, the recent version are for PC only.

You can run the PC versions only if you have a newer (2006 or newer) Intel based Mac with Windows installed via BootCamp, Parallels or VMware, etc.

Answer 3

you have to have windows running on your mac via parallels or boot camp. Or you could buy the sims for the mac.

Answer 4

Hi, why would u expect windows software to work on mac os ten?

u can use virtualization but u will need to buy that program as well as windows to install it on which is a huge waste of money.

u can either buy the OS X version of the game or buy a copy of windows and install it on your mac via boot camp

u could also try darwine, it forms a windows compatibility layer on the mac and may allow the game to run but there r no guarantees

I still suggest u just go and buy the Mac OS X version and save yourself so much trouble
