Online Requirements: Internet connection required for product activation.īefore installing an update for The Sims 3, an Expansion Pack, or a Stuff Pack, it is a good idea to run through the following checklist to ensure your game continues to work smoothly.Hard Drive: At least 15 GB of free space with at least 1 GB additional space for custom content and saved games.GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680, AMD Radeon RX 560, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 or better.CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz Processor or better.System requirements for the game have been updated as follows:.The cheat console keys are changed to CMD+ Shift+ C.Existing 32-bit installations of the game are not updated. Because of this, Patch 70 requires the game to be installed from scratch. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the game are separate entities in Origin.This version makes the game compatible with macOS Catalina and later releases which require applications to be 64-bit.CMD-Z and CMD-Y repeat forever: Now they don't repeat at all.

Stuck forever in "Finalizing": Not any more!.app icon is hidden/invisible: Not any more! Minimized/Hidden Game window makes macOS sluggish: If your Sims window is set to a large(ish) resolution (say, 1900x1200 or more on my Mac - yours may be different) and you minimize, or hide, or otherwise have the game window 100% off the viewable monitor, the the system could get really slow (sluggish Dock, slow text input, etc).Will be fixed for everyone in next Origin update
