is my mac suitable? [ Edited ]

[jasmynmoussa]

hi all,

i have the new 2020 macbook pro with 250gb (194.39gb remaining) and with the standard base model processor, etc. i have been playing the sims4 for a while on my microsoft devices, however my microsoft device stopped working properly and lost a lot of storage. i was just wondering is my macbook pro suitable to play the sims on? i use my macbook for school so i want to make sure i am capable of doing what i need at school without the sims slowing down my device. several of my friends had the sims on their macbooks and said it slowed it down dramatically so i want to hear from people who have a better understanding if it is worth it.

thanks heaps

Yes, you should be fine to be able to play on that Mac although you may need to lower the in-game settings to avoid lag.

The game will not slow down your Mac when you're not playing it but it will if you try and play the game and do a bunch of other stuff at the same time. Please can you provide more information about your Mac.

@Bluebellflora 

i have followed your instructions and this is what i have.

macOS Catalina

version 10.15.4

macbook pro (13-inch, 2020)

processor: 1.4GHz Quad-Core Intel i5

memory: 8 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3

graphics: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645 1536 MB

hopefully i got everything you need. i just want to know if its worth getting the sims on here and if the game will run well and not take up too much space because i need to do all my schoolwork on here as well and i am considering purchasing more sims expansions and stuff.

thanks
