Apr 23, 2016 Hi i recently purchased a 13' macbook air and i love it because it is very fast at loading. I really want to download the sims 4 and expansion packs/add ons which i had on my previous laptop that wasn't apple but I'm scared that the game won't work properly or be really slow or it might slow down my computer. May 03, 2021 I bought my laptop brand new, do the hard drive was what, 4 years-old and I had been played TS4 for maybe 2 years. I'm playing TS4 on M1 MacBook Pro. You can play it on MacBook Air. But unlike Pro, Air doesn't have a cooling fan. It might be causing throttling when you play a long time.

Re: Will Sims 4 Run on my Macbook Air The Sims 4 was specifically designed with performance in mind. The Macbook Air being a high performance laptop, it should not have any problem running the game.
The only way to get The Sims 4 for Mac is to download it through Origin. If you already have the PC version through Origin the Mac version will also be available to you at no extra cost.
How to download The Sims 4 to your Mac

In my house The Sims is the game to play. We all spend hours creating the perfect Sim, trying to make them look like each other and even building a house to look like ours. On more than one occasion I’ve been asked to do someone’s hair just like a Sim character! Since #TheSims4 has smarter Sims with even weirder stories, we HAD to have it!

Since we play a lot of video games, but since two of our computers are Macs, we figured out how to play PC games on a Mac, too!
The first thing you need to do is to Bootcamp your Mac. This isn’t some silly workaround. Apple actually has instructions for how to bootcamp your Mac on their website and the software is already installed on your computer. So you don’t need to worry about security and all that.
We bought a copy of The Sims™ 4 at Wal-Mart in their PC gaming section.
We were so excited to install, I barely even got a picture of it before it got ripped away from me! HAH!
Once you’ve set up you Mac to to boot in Windows mode, just hold down control and start your computer! Click the drive you named “Windows” and your Mac will boot up in Windows mode so you can play The Sims™ 4!
Install the game according to the instructions on the insert inside the game.
Insert the disc into your cd drive, and this will pop up:
