As explained in my title to this new thread I have a Mac. It has 8 gb RAM but obviously it needs more for Sims 4 as the fan is constantly on. Can any other Mac use tell me how much RAM I can get away with if I upgrade. I don't want to go into overkill but would like to beef it up. Thanks if anyone can help. Also I don't seem to be able to find out which processor I have although I've found it to be Intel. RAM I need is 2667 MHz DDK4. I have 4 slots, two used making 8gb.
I put this in general discussion because it's not a directly related to the game problem.
Thanks!

Moved your post to the Mac tech forum.
Please can you provide more information about your Mac. Instructions on how to do so and what to provide here - http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612...
The amount of RAM you have will not have a bearing on the fan speed. That is controlled by the OS to mitigate overheating caused by the workload to the CPU, and dedicated GPU if you have one. If you can provide the specs it will help.

@BluebellfloraDoh! Silly me. I see...
Mac OS Big Sur
Version 11.2.1
iMac (Retina 5k 27-inch, 2019
Processor 3GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5
Memory 8GB 2667 MHz DDR4
Graphics Radeon Pro 57OX 4GB
I have No antivirus as my BT McAfee stopped working with Big Sur, but I'll be getting on asap! I have tried without mods, but the problem persists. Cleaned cache. Turned off as many background apps as I can, but still a very hot computer. Moved all my photos and videos to iCloud.
Thanks again.
