The Sims 3 on Mac - hansthesockmonkey - 18-03-2009 09:09 PM

Is it true that the game will be shipped with a disc that works on both macs and pc's? For example: you can put the same disc into either a mac or a pc and it will work.
And if that is the case, do you think that EA will do that with future expansion packs also?

I just read it in someone's reply to a post on this site the other day.... I wish I could find it. Hmmm
Oh well I didn't read anything offiicially so its probably not true.
That would be cool if they did that though!


Re: The Sims 3 on Mac - CountryGal4132 - 19-03-2009 03:12 AM

ya I wish they did.  I'm getting it for PC but I'm thinking I may get a mac in a year or so so this would be nice so I wouldn't have to buy the game again but then again I may not get a mac so it all depends.  This is a cool idea though.

it's true. it'll be for both pc and mac on the same disc

here's the proof

if you look at the left top corner you'll see it says for both pc and mac


Re: The Sims 3 on Mac - hansthesockmonkey - 19-03-2009 05:24 PM

Yea, I was thinking about getting a mac too, so if what venus says true that would be great!


Re: The Sims 3 on Mac - BroadwayBeckons - 19-03-2009 05:27 PM

If you do get a Mac you could always install Windows on it and BAM... you won't need the Mac version!


Re: The Sims 3 on Mac - venus - 19-03-2009 06:26 PM

Thats also true but it's also illegal unless you use this program from apple called boot camp. it'll let you install two or more OS's legally. and besides the mac version interface looks so beautiful/ cute/ nice blah blah blah...

oh! and hansthesockmonkey, beleave me Mr./Mrs./Ms. sock monkey that picture is 100% original and from EA and if you want more proof here it is:
