Hello does anyone know how to bypass this monstrosity on a new Mac App?? I just want to play my game - upon being forced to install the EA app some of my packs were missing. I tried downloading the older versions of Origin but it still happens... Edit - edited title to better reflect issue (Bluebellflora)

The three packs that were free on the epic games store, I claimed and was able to use on origin on Mac after linking my accounts, but now that I am forced to use the EA app on Mac, these packs now say windows only and won’t let me download them. They worked perfectly fine on origin on Mac and it should not be a problem for it to work on EA app on Mac. I also had the same thing happen with the deluxe bonus content, even through that was purchased on origin. It still says windows only.

Epic games released a 3 pack of DLC for the sims 4 containing: Luxury Party Stuff Pack, Jungle Adventures Game Pack and Fashion Street Kit. I was able to use a friend's Windows computer to obtain the DLC, connect it to my EA account, and then the DLC was playable on Origin. Now that we've had to switch to the EA app, this DLC is unplayable, greyed out in the library and says "Available on Windows".

@Bluebellflora Isn't there a way to talk to them about this? It sounds wrong to pay for the packs again, or to pay when they were offered previously. And since it says "Windows only", it means it's linked to the account, so what's the matter with letting it be unlocked on Mac as well? One thing is The Sims 3, that one never worked on Mac, but the add-ons for The Sims 4 did.

Hello, there were once free Sims packs available on Epic Games, but since there was no EA App on Mac I couldn't link both accounts. Now we do have and I tried doing it, but it seems that it is still not possible since The Sims 4 on Epic works only on PC (and you have to click to open it to link the accounts). I tried to link the accounts on PC and it worked, well kind of. I can see that the packs are there but only on PC. When switching to my Mac there is no sign of the packs being mine, just the option to buy them. I read that someone did that while Origin still was the app for Mac and it worked for them, but it seems it doesn't do the job for me now with the new EA App for Mac.Does anyone knows if there is a possibility to finally claim those packs somehow?

Hi folks,
I bought these expansion packs previously, and I'm 100% sure that I could play them on Origin platform on my Mac. EA engineers could track my playing history with these expansions on my Mac.
I noticed that they changed the platform to EA App, but it shows it's only available on Windows now.
I don't get it. Can someone tell me how I can solve this situation?

Before the EA app was a thing, and it was just Orgin, I bought the packs from Steam (on my main Windows PC), however I cannot get some of these packs on my Mac. It says (on my EA app) that they are linked to my Steam app, and is only available on Windows. Sims from Steam is also just available for Windows. I have quite a few packs to say the least, and hates to not being able to play them. Some of the packs are available, but not all of them. Mainly the older ones I bought is unavailable. Any way to fix this, or do I have to like buy ever pack again?
Thank you.
