Which MacBook Air do you have? The older models have less powerful graphics.
Unboxing new Apple Macbook Air 2020 with Intel Core i3 dual-core processor, 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD. Lowest specs 'budget model'. Magic keyboard and force touch t.

If you have an older model, users in the below thread also report that the game is slow:
Your only option is to wait for Sims 3 to come to a cloud gaming company (where the game runs on a server owned by the providing company) like OnLive. I see that there is a trial that plays through GaiKai in your browser. See this site:

If you have the late 2010 model, it should play Sims 3 just fine. See this video for an example of how it plays on the 11' model. Yours should play the same way
Hope it helps,

Specs for the Sims 3 were probably still written mostly for HDD drives. Remember, the MacBook Air uses a SSD drive. This means that the drive does not spin, and it is mounted on the logic board just like the iPad and iPhone. Because the computer can access its data faster through the hard drive, the processor does not have to be quite as powerful. Apple wouldn't make it if it wasn't awesome.
The one thing I would recommend is RAM. Try to max out your RAM as much as you can depending on which Mac you get, especially because what you get on the MacBook air is what you're stuck with. Meaning that you cannot go back and add RAM later. Everything on the MacBook Air except batteries and speakers are built directly onto the Logic Board.
Good Luck!
