These usually have more interactions for your Sims, new areas to play with and specific items that add new animations. The more of these you add, the more processor power will be used. Game Packs typically will not be as processor intensive, but do again require more processing power as they add more game play to your games. The Expansion Packs are as follows: Seasons, Cats and Dogs, Get Together, City Living, Get to Work. These packs typically will require more processing power due to the nature of what they deliver. For example, Seasons just gave us weather which is usually very graphics intensive. Just to give you an idea of how the EPS/SPs/GPs break down.Įxpansion Packs generally will give you more stuff to do.
I do not use Mods as a rule, so I have very little problems. I have very little CC on mine and run everything with no problems. Since these are Desktop computers, you can throw everything at them and they work just fine. IMacs - definitely no problem handling everything. Depending on how much RAM you have should be able to handle all the EPs/SPs/GPs.
MacBook Pros - can handle more Sim packs. Can handle Base game just fine with maybe one or two EPs (Expansion Packs)/a couple of SPs (Stuff Packs)/maybe one or two GPs (Game Packs). MacBook Airs - not really built for gaming in general and work great as work/school computers if used solely for this purpose. Of course more is always better to future proof your computer.
No matter what the Base Game states for amount of RAM required, we (the Helpers on the forums) always recommend 8GB of RAM. Since you didn't provide more information, I can give you general information.
