Don’t get me wrong, when you first start, it looked like it was going to be a very fun game with a lot of replay value. But the (quite ironically) reccurring problem I’ve had with many Sims games is that they are extremely repetitive, and sometimes downright confusing or infuriating. I’m getting the Sims 4 soon, and I hope it’s not as repetitive. After a while, some tasks become more of a burden or a chore rather than a fun experience, such as keeping vampire Sims alive. Yes, I have tried everything, and no, nothing seems to work. I wouldn’t buy it again, mostly because I had to wait about three hours for the download. Normally you’d have to wait an hour and a half, but still, I wouldn’t take an hour out of my day for this. The redeeming qualities of this game are there, but they’re just overshadowed by the amount of bad qualities. I was also dissapointed that there was no story mode as well. Story mode was a very fun asset of the individual games, and I was hoping that would be added. Overall, this game has left a bad taste in my mouth, as do most games on my Mac, my advice? Just get a game on another system, you’ll definitely get way more enjoyment out of it.

I have a mac mini and it works 100% fine on my computer. If you wanna take the chance and spend $30 to buy it I would because it is definetly worth it if it does. Some things I've learned from past sims games is that they are often very large and need a lot of time to boot up. THis game seems to boot up fairly quickly for a sims game and I enjoy playing it. But as ive learned from playing the sims with many expansions and regarding their size do not spam click or try to rush the computer that causes my sims 3 game to crash and would likely result in this gaem crashing too. Just let the game take its time booting up and do not try to rush it. Evem with the sims 4 on origin if you clicked on the icon too many times it would cause the auio to fail and you would have to boot up the game another time which takes even linger than just waiting for the game to take its time in the First place. DO NOT RUSH YOUR GAME LET IT TAKE ITS TIME. I have not encountered any of the bugs other reviewers have mentioned but i read a previous comment about how older computers run the game better. I cant remember how old my mac is but it is at least 6 years old. Older computers seem to run the game better so warning if your computer is extremely new iI probaby wouldnt bother... Although my computer runs the game fine.

I have played sims game on my iphone and they work just fine so I wanted to get it on my mac and i regretted it. I got the app maybe an hour ago and started playing it immediantly. I went to close out and to my shock nothing I did would close the app. I could continue playing so it wasnt frozen but it would not close out. There was no red X in the corner and when i pressed the esc button it would not work. I started to panick and started pressing on every button my my computer but nothing other than F3 would get me out. F3 still wasnt able to get the game off. I was able to go to another desktop on my mac but I didnt know what to do after that. I tried to put the game in the trash to delete it and see if that would work but it wouldnt go in. I tried to reset my mac but the sims game then poped up and filled my screen and wouldnt go away so I reput it in a new desktop. I then found a force quit tap in the top left part of my mac and made a force quit on the Sims 2 game and deleted it from my computer. I have already requested for a refund since this game was $30 and almost messed my computer up due to it glitching. Im beyond mad that I wasted that money on a game that I can even play and will contact apple about removing the game from mac apple game pages so that this doesnt happen to someone else. Thank you

As someone who grew up with tthe original Sims 2, I bought every stuff and game expansion pack. I was able to avoid custom content the whole time because I had every item and design part I could want. All the packs together were a treat each one adding nicely into the collection. I used them all equally to make a great experience without any custom content or things. Not only is this less than half of the game I remember because it is not the complete set of packs and expnasions, but the content I carefully downloaded and vetted before playing, with has gone without a trace. All my hours collecting custom content to make the game what I wanted it to be have gone to waste in going from 32 bit to 64 bit. My collection of downloaded content allowed me to play the game I used to play, with the visuals and features which I lovoed most. I am incredibly dissapointed with this game and how it effecively ruins the Sims 2 for me. A game I used to adore, is now one I never want to play ever again becuase of this half baked experience, fromn the botched update. I would not reccomend buying this game if you are a modder as this game is no longer capable of supporting content and mods. One of the mainstays was how much custom content people made for this series and now it no longer works. This is not worh the money I paid for it when I first bought it. The initial joy of playing a game which I had eveyrhting in prevously is such a distant dream of what this should have been. Yoou should save your money for buying Sims 4 or some other game.
