The Sims 3 for Mac

by Alex McLarty

I had another look around for Sims 3 information and finally found something on EA’s website. I looked last week, didn’t find a thing. This week, the information comes to me. I’m in the zone.

Press release here:

The Sims 3, developed by The Sims Studio, is also in development for Mac, iPhone, iPod Touch and mobile devices.

From the press release it seems that the title isn’t being wrapped up in Transgaming’s Cider technology or ported by Aspyr. An interesting move, as every other Sims title has been ported and released at a later date than the PC version.

    A few weeks ago, EA Germany confirmed “The Sims 3″ will be a PC/Mac hybrid-disc release. If Spore is an indicator, this smells “cider”.

    You can find the news on the German website Games4Mac:

    Good find. I couldn’t find any information and EA didn’t respond to my emails. I hope to find out this week what’s happening with the build, whether it’s a straight development, a Cider wrapping or an Aspyr port.
