andreaxreadss You should have access to any content you own in the EA App. What's happening when you try to install the game or play? Please post a screenshot or two.

Adding myself to the growing list of p*ssed off Sims 4 players who lost their Epic Games packs in the forced transfer from Origin to EA games.
I actually contacted EA Help twice about it and was told EA won't fix it and they can't help me. If EA was an actual decent company, it would give free download codes to everyone this happened to, but they haven't exactly been a decent company in like half a decade. - MiceWantPants9 months agoNew Novice
Idk if you ever went further with this, but I tried to contact them about this two seperate times. The first person basically told me to get f*cked and the second at least kindly said "sorry, EA won't let us do anything about it"
shabongg10 The Steam version of Sims 4 is Windows-only, so you won't be able to install it or any packs you own through Steam on your Mac. You can however unlink your Steam and EA accounts, then claim Sims 4 through the EA App and play it that way. Or, if you don't want your accounts unlinked, you could create a new EA account and add Sims 4 to that.
Regardless of how you proceed, any content you've bought through Steam will only ever be available in Windows.

Having the same issue here, but not with The Sims 4. That one seems fine for me on my Mac. In my case, it's SimCity the one I can't download on Mac.
Why, Maxis?
EDIT: Just saw the picture you've attached; it seems you've got the game from Steam. Have you tried downloading the game from Steam instead of EA app?

I bought my sims 4 and few DLC two to three years ago. Now I open EA, it said it only available on Windows, but I was able to play this game 3 years ago on Mac. Can somebody help me?
Sagohannah22 Same question to you: did you get the content through the EA App, Steam, or Epic?
