Sim City - does not work on 64bit OSX

★★★ Newbie

So I played this game for about 30 hours back in 2013 and suddenly had a desire to download Origin and get back into it. I found out that 64 bit OSX isn't supported but then see that it is via the "Complete Edition" only available within the Mac App Store.

 

Why is this not available within Origin? Will keep note when the next version is hyped up that it's going to get totally abandoned down the line.

Hi @domwatson  -  As you know, Apple dropped support for 32-bit games like SimCity, beginning with MacOS Catalina 10.15. There is more information in this post: https://answers.ea.com/t5/SimCity-2013/Mac-SimCity-and-MacOS-Catalina/m-p/8298578#M127940 , including some options for running 32-bit games after upgrading. SimCity is a legacy game at EA - there is no development team and the last patch released for it was in 2015. There have been no EA announcements about reworking SimCity to be 64-bit.

 

The Aspyr version, available from the Mac App store, has been updated to run on 64-bit. Keep in mind, that version is Single Player/Offline Mode only (no access to the multiplayer servers).
