Sims 2

I have been looking too no such luck. It sucks. I love Sims 2 have almost all of the expansions. I have bootcamp on my mac and only use vista to play Sims 2 and I hate Windows with a passion. I want to get all of them on mac but its alot of money I spent alot getting the PC versions. I didn't even know there was Mac versions of them until last month. I wish I would of known that before I bought almost all of them. :(

From what I read online, Sims 2 run a whole lot better on Windows. I have the Mac version, and they are pretty sluggish sometimes, which really is disappointing. I have SimCity 4 for OS X as well, and it's a 2004 game that I can't run well on high settings with my 2008 MBP. Sigh.

Guess a Boot Camp partition is really necessary for a better gaming experience.
 
I actually am playing Sims 2 on my Mac and the graphics are better and it runs faster I'm surprised.

Really? From what I've heard, the Mac version is more stable. I've also heard it's quicker. I wouldn't know because I haven't played either version. I just have the very first version of The Sims.
