Sims 3 for Macs - Quixotic - 10-07-2009 07:16 PM

I've heard conflicting reports on how well the Sims 3 works on Macs. Some people say that its is laggy with a low frame rate even when the computer's spec are well past the requirement. Others say it is fine. I am planning on getting a new Mac laptop and am planning on getting the Sims 3 for it. I wonder if I will have any problems. Can any Mac Simmers help?

Quoting the website - "This patch upgrades the Sims 3 launcher for the Mac to have the same functionality as the launcher does on a PC. "

What does the launcher have to do with games performance? Would it reduce lag?
