So, i just got new macbook. really excited because it is faster and has more memory than previous computer. However, when i attempted to load my sims 2 game (which installed no problem) a message keeps coming up saying " The Sims 2 reccomends a PowerPC processor running at 500MHz or faster". It goes on to say that my computer does not meet the recommendations and that game play will suffer. I then click the "OK" button on the pop-up and another comes up telling me to re-install the sims 2. i have tried re-installing, restarting my comp., and i have 2GHz left on my computer. I'm really stressed and would appreciate some help very very much!!!

thanks,
candiwax

I don't understand this, my fiancè runs the sims on a macbook and has no problems. The macbooks are intel-based, the earlier laptops used a power-pc prossessor, but since my fiancè is using an intel-based macbook and it works I have no idea why it doesn't on yours.

I would suggest sending emails/calling both aspyr and the place you bought your macbook.

Aspyr used to say to say install on your HD in a games folder, now if you have Leopard I believe you are to install into your Applications folder.  

If you just drag they may not work.  You might need to reinstall.

I vaguely remember a rev c patch....but that's old.  I have rev d saved on my external from around april 2006.  But the new combo patch should work.

Thank-you. I was a bit confused on the install. I read that cep program has to be installed on the aplications folder to work. So thanks for the help. Vikki

Your welcome.  I think Numenor has updated the install directions for Leopard.

Wait, so in leopard, the game is to be installed in the applications-folder, not on the macintosh HD?

Ach, good thing I haven't been able to get to my old CC yet (my powerbook is currently into service for harddisk recovery, since it died on me, and I just got a brand new macbook pro).

Yes Mi-chii, I think you don't have a choice anymore.  I thought I had read Apple made it that way.

Great, because when I tried to drop it into the applications-folder, it didn't work...

I got the same message as candiwax when I opened BS, but I have tried running the game and it worked... Hmmm. I'll have to uninstall and try again, then.
