I have a sims 3 PC pre ordered to use on bootcamp. I have just found out that the sims 3 pc date has been delayed to June 2nd, when the Sims 3 Mac will be released on the same date. I am a bit confused here. Should I go ahead with the Sims 3 PC to use on bootcamp, or cancel and pre order a Mac version. The only thing is that, for me custom content is important, and, after using The Sims 2 Mac, it is difficult to get the correct file type (zip) to download for custom content, whereas with the Pc version, I can install any custom content, via an installer like Q express, or the built in one that comes with the game (sims 2 pack installer). Please help, because I cannot decide for myself!
Got a tip for us?

The Mac and PC version of Sims 3 will be on the same disc, so you do not need to worry.

The Sims 3: cross-platform
Indeed, it looks as if both versions will be on one disc. If you look at the new artwork they are releasing, both the standard and collector's version now display the WIN/MAC logo in the corner.

But will the Mac version be a lame port with lower specs like The Sims 2 for Mac was? Hopefully not!
Technically it won't be a port at all, but will be the Windows version running under Cider, like they did with Spore.
