How to play SiviCITY on Mac

Game summary

"SiviCity is intended to be an interactive community based within a City, known as Sivi. Those who inhabit the city are called Sivillians. SiviCity’s target is to become a simulator/role play of sorts, a system where Sivillians can set up businesses and attempt to become the best in their trade, whether it be selling furniture, designing rooms, having your own private security group, having a café or restaurant, and more. Sivillians will be given a multitude of business opportunities to suit their individual needs. This will be SiviCity’s primary function, alongside the ability to chat with other sivillians, build private apartments, and indulge in mini-games and other interactive games within the City. SiviCITY is still very much in an early testing stage, so we appreciate all the feedback we can get, and we appreciate you spending time in helping us further develop our game."

Play SiviCITY on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play SiviCITY on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

SiviCITY installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install SiviCITY like you would on any PC.
