Nope: "This game will not run on PowerPC (G3/G4/G5) based Mac systems, or the GMA 950 class of integrated video cards."

Yes it will work but the performance will be annoying.Actually i am running(though not smoothly) it on my gma 950 with win xp sp3 Intel Pentium dual core 1.8ghz & 1 gb Ram.All i can say you will get playable fps.Trust me it works.
Put the CD in the disc thingy. Then download it.
A 32-bit Windows XP pro service pack 3 will not work with Sims 3.
You can also press and hold Command and Tab on your keyboard to minimise the game window. At least this works for me on the MacBook Pro. I hope this helps you!

Yes, you can download The Sims 3 on your MacBook Pro Retina 13, provided your system meets the game's minimum requirements. The game is available for purchase through platforms like Origin or the Mac App Store. Ensure that your macOS version is compatible with the game to avoid any issues during installation. Additionally, check for any necessary updates or patches for optimal performance.
the same as any other computer
yeah on steam
Electronic Arts, the publishers for The Sims games, have confirmed that The Sims 3 will be published for both Macs and PCs, with both versions on the same disc in the retail box. This means you can walk into any games shop that sells PC games, and pick up a version that will run on the Mac. Whether it will run on your MacBook will depend on a number of factors. If it is a MacBook Pro, it should run well, depending on the age and power of your particular machine; as all MacBook Pros have dedicated graphics cards they should be fine. If you have a MacBook (non Pro), then you may not be able to run it. The white and black polycarbonate MacBooks have had integrated graphics chipsets which are poor performers in games, with the exception of the most recent white MacBook which sports a GeForce 9400 integrated chipset. All aluminum (unibody) MacBooks have a GeForce 9400. To find out which graphics chipset your Mac uses, go to the Apple menu (at the top-left of the screen). Choose "About This Mac". When this appears, click "More Info". When the System Profiler appears, click Graphics/Displays on the left. Generally, a chipset produced by NVidia or ATI should be fine; a chipset by Intel will likely not perform well.
no.
unfortunately no, but you can get boot camp or some software that lets you run windows programs on an apple, so you could play fo3.
