I just bought the MacBook Air (2018 model) for college for the next 5 years. But I wanted to download The Sims 4 for my downtime. Should I not do this since it's not a gaming laptop? Will it slow down my computer and make it not worth it?

But: Sims 4 runs SO MUCH better than Sims 3 ever did on my laptop (that's a cider issue) and when its not running my game runs beautifully. I imagine if you don't have a lot of space left on your harddrive it may make a difference, but I don't see why it would slow down your laptop when you're not using it.

Steps to Use Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite on VirtualBox Image on Windows PC. Step 1: Download OS X Yosemite from Mac App Store. Mac users can be interested in older versions of OS X Yosemite for various reasons. Step 2: Create Yosemite ISO Installer. Step 3: Install and Start VirtualBox. Start a clean installation of Mac OS X Yosemite. After that, you clicked on the Start button, therefore, you will face the black screen full of codes. Don’t do anything just wait for. In this step, you need to select your country where you are located in and press Continue. System Equipment to install macOS X Yosemite. IMac (Mid 2007 or later) MacBook (Almunium late 2008 and early 2009 or later than that) MacBook Pro (130-inch, Mid 2009 or later) – MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later) Mac Mini (2009 or later) Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later) Xserver (2009) There is some more. Install mac os on virtualbox. Install macOS X Yosemite on VirtualBox & VMware. There are multiple virtual machines that you can use to install macOS X Yosemite. However, most of them can’t be trusted therefore the two main options which you have is VirtualBox & VMware. VirtualBox & VMware are the two most user-friendly virtual machines out there.

Only if you run The Sims 4 will the screen response seem slower than usually running MacOS programs that are not games. Not running The Sims 4 lets your non-gaming laptop run normally.

Unless it's running, it will not slow your machine down. It will, of course, take up storage space on the drive, if that's important to you. And the program may not run at its best on that machine.

Aha! Starrysky offers the secret! Don't play the game.

• Why does MacOS Mojave slow down my computer so much? So i have an imac 2008 and i use a OS patcher to run the newest mac versions, and on sierra and high sierra the computer is fast and flawless and feels like a new computer but when i go to mojave its kinda slow and sluggish, why?

• Hey guys, I brought my first MacBook today. (MacBook Pro 13inch retina) apparently good for gaming, graphics etc said by the sales person) I am in the process of product redeeming my sims 4 on my Mac book, it's been over a hour and I'm only on 4%!!!!! Why is this taking soo long?

  
  The 13' has integrated graphics as opposed to dedicated which is recommended for gaming. Whilst it should be ok for now, the more Expansion, Stuff and Game Packs you add to the game the slower and laggier it may become. If that happens you should lower your graphics settings in game. Lower graphics = smoother performance.
  In Origin go to Preferences, click on the Advanced tab, scroll down and check the box next to Enable Safe Mode Downloading. If you've installed any antivirus turn it off.

• I haven't downloaded or installed anything else. I'm just in the process of installing the base game. Which is taking so long!!! Everything about Origin seems to be really slow, it's even lagging when I try to click in out of it. I even tried cancelling the installation and restarting (which is taking even longer).
• So I tick that box? Can I untick it after its installed? Will it affect the game in anyway? @BluebellFlora
• It just ensures more stable downloads. You can untick it if you like, it doesn't affect gameplay in any way.
