The Sims 3 Gameplay Test - 17" MacBook Pro Unibody

[J352SAURUS]

If you just have the Sims 3 base game, what is that like? If you have expansion packs as well, what is that like? If they don't work and you uninstall ALL Sims stuff, will that affect your computer at all? I must know all positives and negatives about this... Heck, I don't even have a Mac yet.

[mapooisawesome]

I have a normal Macbook 13.3 inch. I used our 5 year old rubbish pc before with the sims 2 in it, and it seemed to run not that differently, only slightly slower. Now that I have £70 to spend im gonna buy the sims 3 with almost ALL of the expansion packs. With the base game and all of the expansion packs, will this load ok?

Plus this is my only good laptop I have and I dont wanna mess it up. So I simply need a detailed answer with a conclusion of 'Yes' or 'No'. Not a 'maybe' or a 'i dont know'.

[woodenrockstar]

@mariasotoisme No. Sorry! But there is a Sims 2 (Which by the ways sucks) but Sims 2 Pets on PSP is ok! But if you have PS2 buy sims 2 on that! Its AWESOME! PS: Since you have a computer, buy it!

I have all EPs execpt Pet!

[EdCayo]

i think for the price of that laptop the game should run perfecly :/

[mariasotoisme]

can anyone tell me if this game is for the psp???!!!??!! is the sims 3 for psp???!! please respond SOON

[supergirl350555]

@mariasotoisme no

[rockyb123Cath]

If I got the 15" MacBook Pro with these specs; 2.0GHz quad-core

Intel Core i7

4GB 1333MHz

500GB 5400-rpm1

Intel HD Graphics 3000

AMD Radeon HD 6490M with 256MB GDDR5

Does anybody know if it would run The Sims 3 okay?

[WolfosDotOrg]

Settings makes no difference for me, same as every Cider crap port. It lags like hell and is totally unplayable.

[kmont1992]

Just installed the Base Game on Mac OS X Snow Leopard with graphic settings ranging from Med to High. I have an alright graphics card, but it just sucks. I had it on BootCamp with all max settings; no lag, no problems whatsoever. So, I suggest installing the Sims 3 on Windows with BootCamp.

[AltirisX]

@Ronnie3811

well it is okay, Windows 7 is better. It also has more options in the graphics settings.

[Dcsa1996i]

Base processor :Intel Celeron 2.7 GHz integrated graphics 64mb shared memory: Will it work for me?

[Jeskers18]

Do you think it runs better on macbook petter that a pc laptop?

[AltirisX]

@Jeskers18

It depends on the hardware.

[Jeskers18]

@AltirisX wow, sorry. i just noticed how much i messed up on my question. my bad lol.

[MrHappysims3]

do will it work much better if everything is higher and better?

[SassafrassSays]

im just wondering if it effected your macbook its self performance? does your macbook still run fine or is it slower in any way?

[GeordieBoy112]

if this is for the xbox can you move around with the analog stick?

[clarissaen]

i have the same mac, except mine is 226ghz and it doesn't run smoothly.

[Tjeggss]

@Tulanirebe

you only need a 2.0 ghz procesor and a 128 mb video-card and 2 gb

so whos the dumbass now???

[PlayerZer09]

Omg lol i have an iMac 3.06 ghz ,4GB ram,500 gb memory and a NVIDIA 9600 gt,but it runs pretty slow on 1080p and with your settings wtf! my mac need some upgrade or?

[14DarkPrincess]

you need to hit the arrow at the left bottom corner and fullfill there needs

[aprilla101]

will it work on a 13"?

[Tjeggss]

or course it runs smoothly because

1 its a mac

and 2 sims 3 has low system requirements.

[SyahmiHaziq]

@Tulanirebe ok i'll try to get it originally in dvd.

[TrainsGoMoo]

lol that sucks no AA

[SyahmiHaziq]

@Tulanirebe mine's a dell dimension too. but 3100. wats btw?

[SyahmiHaziq]

@Tulanirebe my mistake but with all these qualities, can i play the sims 3?

[SyahmiHaziq]

Can I play the Sims 3 with my computer - Version 2002, Service Pack 3, Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, graphics card: Intel Pentium 4, CPU 3.00 GHz 2.99 GHz and 504MB of RAM?

[averagehomosapien]

@SyahmiHaziq

Probably not.

[schweingut1]

can you play sims 3 in lowest or middle graphic on the imac 27 too????????

[Moondeathprincess]

@Tulanirebe haha well that and I totally suck at that game. 

[Moondeathprincess]

@Tulanirebe haha yea if you play it over and over again. I got tired of it.

[SuperMultiMac]

Can I play the sims 3 on the white macbook :)

[lonnyboy101]

@SuperMultiMac you can but you wont be able to have Exps or stuff and the gameplay would laaaggg

[PalmyJason]

@Tulanirebe LOL not happening :p

[PalmyJason]

@Tulanirebe i know :( stupid 9400 has a shity graphics card. don't think i can change it right?

[PalmyJason]

@Tulanirebe my imac was last year what do you mean 480 is best? i said i have the 9400.

[PalmyJason]

I have a 24" entry level iMac, I don't have it on max detail but still it sucks! The only thing that varies is a bigger screen size and the graphics... nvidia 9400 i think.

[crazyjuana21]

[Moondeathprincess]

The Sims makers and the Grand theft auto makers should have joined together to make and awsome game. Imagine your sims in this awsome looking neiborhood looking like gta san andreas and your sims killing eachother haha that would be funny.

[tigersims08]

@AndyBonHelsing1 well duhhh jack A$^% the game is oldr so it runs faster on crapy pcs like mac

[doctorwhobw]

nah it doesnt, the loading times make the sims 2 crap

[AndyBonHelsing1]

@doctorwhobw Have you even played the sims 3? The loading times are worse than the sims 2

[doctorwhobw]

Your notebook is very good

[SelGomez789]

[ChromathNL]

Can I run this game on max settomg on the base 27" iMac?

3,06-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

4 GB RAM

ATI Radeon HD 4670 with 256 MB

1 TB HDD

[whipaura1]

@ChromathNL That should run no problem at all.

[kmann1994]

Anti-Aliasing is there, its called edge smoothing. I have almost the same specs as you, 8600m gt, and a 2.0ghz C2D and I get alot better FPS than you on Max settings

[carolinablue2877]

i mean Nvidia

[carolinablue2877]

Will sims 3 run smoothly with the following:

the new Macbook

2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

4GB DDR 3 Memory

Nividia GeForce 9400m graphics

[kmann1994]

@carolinablue2877 Yeah, but not mac settings

[geoski24]

Would it run smoothly with the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M?

[TheLuckAndLove]

Yes, it will, but not as smoothly as the 330M GTU.

[Elebit100]

3:57 - Mama look!

[951196]

I am getting a macbook. I guess it would not matter macbook or pro. For this game to work. Or would it?

[MrLarky96]

@951196 It dosent matter I have the macbook pro and my sister has the macbook they both run very smooth!

[951196]

[TheLuckAndLove]

But do they both run exactly the same?

[Krispothead]

IM Gettin When I Get My 512MB Nivida Graphic Chip Cant Wait

[MrLarky96]

@Krispothead It runs smoothly i have that chip it runs so smoothly along with the NVidea 9600 GT!

[up4sonic]

[sim152325]

[maures27]

the White MacBook with 9400M will run as in my MacBook Pro 13". The game runs but not so smoothly as I wish to.

So sad... I'll sell this thing and buy a 15" macbook pro only for The Sims 3 lol

[Animalabusesucks1990]

yeah i'm sure u could as long as it doesn't have the built in gma 950 graphics card. cause that is NOT supported for the the sims 3.

[LauraBabeesx]

a few of my friends have had the sims 2 and it has made their computers/laptops VERY slow. i didnt get it due to this, but i really want the sims 3 but im thinking it'll make my laptop very slow aswell due to its higher graphics, more memory etc. my laptp is 4GB of memory and 500GB hardrive, and its new, so i wouldnt want to make it slow. what do you think i should do? do you think it would make my laptop slow? thanks

[martymar516]

would you need any video updates if you have windows vista, like DirectX 9.0c compatible?

[Mshadowslover61]

Omg I search up sims 3 for wii they hav vids but not for the wii does it come for the wii or jus the pc! GOSH!!!! someone reply to my page wit the answwer

[cologneprince]

As of now, I don't think there is Sims 3 for the wii, There may be one in the future.

[healthyobsession801]

It's only on PC.

[TJolteon]

It's not. It is on PC, Mac and iPhone. And several others

[eracton11]

Onde eu acho o The Sims 3 para playstation vendendo?

[hypercrazymichelle]

hello i have a 15 macbook pro and will the sims 3 and world adventures together work nice and smoothly on my mac? thx

nice video helped a lot

[Mraajdar]

looks nice

[MsCandiesProductions]

LOL! The Sims 2 Double Deluxe on TV - 2:01

[TheKeyboardDrummer]

BTW, you mention anti-aliasing at around 1:20. Anti-aliasing is irrelevant if you're running the game on an LCD screen at the LCD's native resolution. In such a case, you should turn anti-aliasing off because you're just wasting graphics processor cycles. It only helped on CRTs or when running games at lower resolutions than that resolution native to the LCD.

[acidnano]

Do you think it will work with all on highest on MacBook Pro 15?

[SoundOfAShark]

theres very slight jumpyness.

but im blaiming it on the program your using to capture it.

[maures27]

It sucks a little on MacBook 13".

And I speaking from experience, too.

So sad. If you want a MacBook, buy it with 9600.

>D

[Sparky937]

why's it worse in the 13' macbook? is it too small of a screen?

[maures27]

not only the screen but the video card too.

On MacBook 13" it's a 9400M while on 15" there's option for 9600M GT.

Much better after all.

[TJolteon]

Lol, idiot. The 13 inch Macbooks are fine, if you want a bigger screen, link it up to a television. The graphics cards thing will hardly make a massive impact, for one thing it will be busy churning out the extra power it needs for the resolution.

[xxrobert1954xx]

hi do in sims 3 do you buy car or just pick or give to eny car

[hottornado1]

hey guys i was thinking about geting this game i have a compaq presario pc would it work in mine?

[TheMurderousMind]

[MERH1122]

[Hookah92]

[coolcookies456]
