How to Download and Install The Sims Free on Mac

Are you a fan of The Sims series? If so, you're in luck because it is now possible to download and install The Sims free on your Mac. However, there are a few steps you need to follow to ensure that everything goes smoothly.

Firstly, if you encounter an error stating that the file comes from an unidentified developer, right-click on the file and select 'Open'. This should allow you to run the downloaded file without any issues.

Next, quit Origin (closing the window is not enough) and double-click on the extracted file to open it. You may also need to download a small file called Origin DLC unlocker v1 for Mac before proceeding.

One of the most important steps in this process is finding the location of your original game. To do this, use the Finder and press command + shift + H to open your home directory. From there, you can navigate to the 'Applications' folder or search for it using the search bar.

Once you have located your original game, you need to switch on 'Automatic game updates' and 'Automatically update Origin' in the Client update section. This will ensure that your game and Origin are always up-to-date whenever you start playing The Sims 4.

New DLCs (downloadable content) must still be added manually, but this process is much simpler than before thanks to the Pack System feature. With this system, you can add pirated DLCs to your legal Origin base game for free.

Some of the benefits of using the Pack System include much smaller downloads (for example, Cottage Living is now only 1.6 GB instead of 11.4 GB) and no problems with anti-virus software because there are no cracks involved. Additionally, you will always have access to the latest version of The Sims 4 thanks to Origin's automatic updates.

In conclusion, downloading and installing The Sims free on your Mac is a straightforward process that requires some patience and attention to detail. By following these steps, you can enjoy playing The Sims 4 with all its expansions without any issues or problems.
