So you're pretty good to go with with all three of them. As for The Sims 4 though? Why not try the free demo of The Sims 4 (it's fully functional for 48 hours)? Where to get it? Why, here: https://www.origin.com/gbr/en-us/store/the-sims/the-sims-4/standard-edition

If you've got a Boot Camp partition with Windows on it you should be fine with all three too.

Hope this helps!

Thanks guys! Sims 2 and 4 run perfectly on the mac side, the sims 3 was a little laggy so I ran it through windows on the bootcamp partition and it runs wonderfully!
