If your Mac was made in 2011 or before, you will need to download the Legacy Edition of Sims 4 For Mac as it is not Metal compatible but this only affects a small number of users. Note that The Sims 4 is not available in the Mac App Store either.īoth the EA Origin and Steam version of Sims 4 are exactly the same so there’s no difference in gameplay.
