Don't worry Mac's are built to be a bit different then a Windows computer, if anything fucks up you simply delete the Sims folder out of your applications and documents. At that point there is almost no trace of the program left, however you don't need to worry because as far as I've seen there are no real issues with it at all. If you want to post the system specs of his machine I can tell you more accurately if its up to par to run the game or not, the only thing you should really be worried about is if the graphics card won't be able to handle it but even then if it can't you just restart the computer and delete the game.
Thanks for your quick response!
The specs:
13.3" MacBook Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz, 2GB RAM, 160GB Hard Drive, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, SuperDrive - Aluminum unibody (MB466LL/A)
I copied that off a site so I don't know if that last parenthetical is useful, but I figured I better include it in case.
It should run fine if you don't pump the graphics up to max, keep them on low or medium and it'll be okay. My MBP with 4 gigs of ram can have a hard time and it has a better graphics card if I pump them all to max. Anyways if you don't already have a program called "SMC fan control" then I suggest getting it. It'll let you set your fan speeds in your computer, just pump them up to nearly max and it should help keep your computer cool. Small laptops tend to have issues with heating up while playing TS3 because its so graphics intensive.

I did notice it was getting very hot, so I appreciate this advice. Is the installation of SMC fan control easier than installing the mod (I hope)? Again, no risk to the computer, right? I wouldn't be so anal about it but as I mentioned, the mac's not mine.
Would you please direct me to any existing guide to installing it on a mac? Thank you so much for your help!

I'm trying to install AwesomeMod for TS3 on my Mac. I tried following the instructions given, but it did not work... Can anyone give me step by step instructions on how to accomplish this successfully?

I used this to help me install it.
Not sure who uploaded the link in the first place, but this issue has already been posted somewhere.
Enjoy, anyway.
