Questions about the sims on mac

(1/3) > >>

Mi-chii:
I am selling my PC and buying my fiance's Mac. I am planning on selling my Sims-games for the PC to have money to buy it for Mac. I know about the 12000 or something limit on custom contest, but even in my worst periods of downlad-crazy and lazyness in deleting unused stuff, I have never passed 10.000 downloads on my computer. I don't use SimPe, or homecrafter, so that's not a problem.

Now here are my questions:

Will all custom content be usable? I have heard about tewture-problems and so on, but that don't worry me. What I mean is: There isn't like CC for windows-sims and CC for mac-sims? I can use everything I find?

Whatever I make in Mac-Bodyshop, can that be used by windows-users?

And when does Seasons come out for Mac?

Anything else you can tell me is much appreciated :)

Marhis:
All CC is normally usable. Exceptions (more or less) may be:
- some custom walls, with textures not correctly resized, don't show (you'll see grey walls, instead).
- custom tv channels don't work (a codec problem, maybe, I don't know)
- some hacks that need to be loaded in game in a fixed sorted way, may behave differently, because of different sorting rules in files lists, between Win and Mac. You may experience this if you subfolder a lot, but usually you can resolve the issue renaming the files, so they load in the expected way.
- no antialiasing :( (That's maybe what I miss the most)

Generally, yes, you can use everything, and bodyshop products are the same, in mac and win.
At this moment is officially released LifeStories for Mac; if the delay is the same, Seasons shouldn't not last too much (at least, I hope).

EDIT: I just checked on Aspyr site... coming soon: Family Fun Stuff.
yuck :puke:

Mi-chii:
what is antialias?

Thank you so much for your answers!

Marhis:
Antialiasing is a graphic setting in windows version: it smoothes all lines. If you want to see the difference, go to settings and check antialiasing off (if you have it on, of course).

Mi-chii:
Ah, right. Oh well, that is just a matter of getting used to.
