    I found a binary patch for the sims 2. Will that let me install my pc version of the sims 2 onto os x?

    If not is there way to increase my partition size of windows on my macbook? I used bootcamp to create it originally.

    The universal binary patch allows a PowerPC game to run on an Intel Mac. The patch does not let you run windows games on OSX. As far as I know, the only way to increase the size of your windows partition is to reinstall Windows, and adjust the partition size in Boot Camp Assistant.

    Hope that helps.
