How well does The Sims 4 run on a 2017 13' Macbook Pro? I recently got a 2017 Macbook Pro and I'm curious if I'll be able to play TS4 on high graphics settings without lag? I usually play on my 2009 ASUS Notebook but most of the graphics are set to lower medium / medium and when my lots are too cluttered the game will start lagging. Also, the keyboard has shallow keyboard travel and poor tactile feedback. On the plus side, you have a thin and light MacBook Pro with great battery life (8-9 hours on average). So yes, you can definitely run Sims 4 on an Apple MacBook. If you like the Apple MacBook Pro and Sims 4 then you should go for it.

Re: Origin won’t launch ( mac ) If that doesn’t work please trash the Origin app from your Applications folder then run the reset tool again (this should properly uninstall Origin ). Empty the Trash and restart your Mac. Then create a new administrator account on your Mac and download and install Origin in that account.
Looking at EA & Origin Web sites Sims 4 requires a discrete video card which is available on 15” MacBook Pro and some but not all iMacs. Additionally, the Sims programs tend to be very CPU and memory intensive so a fast processor and lots of RAM is recommended. Personally, I’d go for a 15” MBPro or 17” iMac.
Ensure that your Macbook has the minimal specs required to run The Sims 4. If it doesn’t have the minimum specs then your MacBook can be damaged by heating, especially as internal components are highly sensitive to heat. Apart from that, The Sims 4 won’t ruin your MacBook.
I have the 13″ Macbook Pro with Touch Bar, and The Sims 4 is really smooth with all the packs. Loading screens takes less than a minute. I have a 13″ MBP with Touch Bar as well. It runs buttery smooth, even on quite high settings.
