Imvu Mac Download
1. Introduction
IMVU’s Mac client will run on Mac OS X 10.5 and later, including Snow Leopard. The release of the Mac client for IMVU follows on the heels of the debut of IMVU 2Go, an app for the iPhone. IMVU for Mac is built for Intel based OS X systems with 2GB of RAM or better. In your case, you are attempting to run it on an older PowerPC model. Since they don't support this architecture there is no way to get this app to run on your Mac. I'm sorry to have to tell you the above but this is a programming limitation rather than a specific issue.
IMVU offers real-life experiences in a virtual world. You can chat and hang out with friends, make new friendships, go to parties, play games on the beach, go shopping, even fall in love. Anything can happen, the odds are endless.
You can also become an IMVU Creator. If you like fashion and love creating products, you can sell them in the IMVU Catalog and make money.
To learn more about how to become a creator and the Creator Program, read the article How to Become an IMVU Creator.
