Other than that one scenario then you are good to go. If you are on one of the unfortunate MacBook models with incredibly limited and un-expandable storage then you are basically out of luck. That same title will, absolutely, run better under Bootcamp. That's always best, but gaming on Macs is certainly doable, and not all that bad IF you are willing to install Bootcamp. For my own gaming (and for others) I build custom gaming rigs, usually liquid cooled. But I would never, ever, suggest gaming on them in Mac OS.

I support Macs professionally, and have since the Mid 80s! They are, in many ways, fantastic systems. Find the post here:Įdit: Please note turning off SSAO does turn of Depth of Field (DOF) too for some reason.Honestly, the suggestions here for Mac owners are the correct ones: Just install Bootcamp and you'll never, ever go back to gaming on native Mac titles. Update: If you are a Mac user and having issues finding the right file to edit, kiwisims4 gave a quick how-to on finding it. Do note, with every patch or repair game, this needs to be carried out again as the sgr file reverts back to its default state.

This method allows you to just turn off SSAO without a hit to lighting quality like sun shadows. Generally, dynamic shadows are not enabled in the low light settings, same with a lot of other effects that I wanted left on. I have been asked recently how I do it by and which reminded me that I was planning on writing up a tutorial for it.


I am all for dynamic shadows, but in my opinion, they have been poorly executed in TS4 so I found a way to turn them off for myself. Just a quick mini tutorial on how to remove the dynamic shadows in TS4.
