Would Sims 3 run on Macbook Pro?

Question

Just curious since I'm gonna get one eventually, do you think it would run it on max settings or something?

Answer 1

Definitely, the macbook pro is a very powerful machine and will run most games at full settings.  

Answer 2

Most probably 'yes'.

The MacBook Pro is a very technologically advanced protocal which should run most games like these; excluding Crysis, Halo 3, or Cod4.

You can handle it on High Graphics, though I would recommend putting 'Auto-Scaler' off and lower the 'Fade-Distance'.

But when the Expansion Packs arrive, and you are planning on buying them, then prepare to lower the settings of the graphics.

When more come out (about 3 more), then I would no longer recommend using the Macbook for them all.

This, because you need to consider that the Macbook is still a Laptop, or Notebook. No matter what note-bk or laptop you will be using, it can't run The Sims 3 with all expansions, atleast not at a decent speed.

I say you buy a desktop instead, even a less expensive one will run it WITH the expansion packs, even on higher quality.

Anyway, if you want more information on The Sims 3, then visit my fansite!

Answer 3

Yea, the MacBook Pro would handle the Sims 3 with no problems whatsoever. All MacBook Pros have a pretty good video graphics card. So, you shouldn't run into any problems with running that game on Max settings.
