Mac users will be happy to learn that SimCity 4 Deluxe appears to be on track for a September release date. The game is currently listed on Aspyr.com as being in its "Final Canidate" stage which is a very good sign.

Also, it seems that The Sims University should also be heading to Mac this fall, with a current release slated for November, just in time for the Christmas season. However, the game is still in Early Developement, so we will have to see how that date pans out. This means that Mac fans can certainly expect Nightlife to be ported to OS X, perhaps early next year depending on University's release.

A new patch for The Sims 2 Mac has just been released fixing video problems, optimizing video capture, fixing Body Shop file size limits as well as unofficial Italian language support. You can find the patch at Mac Game Files.
