figured that would be the answer since i already know sims isnt available on steam for mac players.
hoped there would be another solution or a workaround but i guess its just not possible. thanks for taking the time and replying though!
makes one wonder why they did that, the ea app can offer it so why cant steam?
I own the Sims 4 and I recently transitioned from a windows pc to a mac. While downloading all my packs I noticed an error- the jungle adventure, luxury party, and fashion street kit were not downloading. I believe that since I redeemed these during the Epic games giveaway, there is some sort of error getting them to switch to the EA app for mac. Several people in online forums seem to have also run into this, stating that when they had origin for mac there no issues, but since the transition to the EA app for mac they have experienced the same thing. (to note- I used these packs with no issue when I had them on my Windows EA app). The rest of my pack have also installed just fine.

hi so i downloaded the EA App on my imac today and i scroll down to see that it says that the Sims 4 is available on windows and not my imac. my imac is an imac ventura and meets all the requirements to play, so i dont know why its doing this. its really stressing me out so please someone help me. i just want to play sims 4 as a 14 year old boy LOL.
I'm having trouble accessing my dlc from steam. I was using a pc and upgraded to a Mac. But now I can't get to all of my stuff. In the EA app it shows that I have it in my library, but it says something to the effect that it's available in Windows PC. It leads me to believe that I can't play these packs on my Mac.
Is there some content in ts4 that can't be played on a Mac, but you can play it on a Windows PC? I'm really confused.

Correct. Any Sims 4 DLC purchased for Windows through Steam is not available for macOS because there is no Mac version of the game available on Steam. You will have to re-purchase DLC if you want to play it on your Mac. - Aillym8 months agoRising Newcomer
So I recently discovered that I could get sims on my iMac, instead of playing on my very laggy laptop that I have. Especially since I have add ons. I was downloading it, and I was confused why my add ons literally were not being added on. I searched it up, and it says it's because I bought a windows version of the add on. But I feel like just because I bought the add on with a window version, it should be in some sort of file that when you download from the same account, it will be there no matter what. If the add on is not yet available on iMac is one thing, and frankly kinda stupid but I'm assuming that they just added this compatibility with iMac recently so whatever. But what do I do? I have the Get famous pack, which is the only pack that I can download, I also have cats and dogs, vampires, and seasons pack. I don't want to re-buy them, so is there a way I can switch it or something? Or have EA switch it/add it on my account? I'm not sure how kind EA is with this sort of stuff. But I would like at least an answer/solution to my problem. Any help is needed! Thank you!
HI, I need help. I've redownloaded all of my packs for the Sims 4 but 3 of them will not download and mention that they're only available in Windows. The packs are the fashion street kit, jungle adventure, and luxury party stuff.
This is exactly the problem I’m having. I haven’t had any issues with them appearing in game up until now. Did you find a way to fix it?
After switching from Origin to the EA App on Mac, the expansions purchased through EPIC Games suddenly stopped working. Support isn't able to help either. The expansions are marked as "Windows only," which is nonsense since they worked perfectly fine until uninstallation. Only after reinstalling did they stop working. And of course, in the store, they are still listed as available for both Mac and Windows.
I just replaced my windows laptop with my new Mac. I installed the ea app and downloaded the base game and it automatically installed 6 out of the 11 expansions I have already purchased. Game loads great and in game it’s See’s I own 11 expansions. As does the ea app. Problem is only 6 are loading. All the other worlds pertaining to those 5 other expansions say when downloaded these worlds will show. And there not auto downloading. It takes me back to the ea app to re buy the expansion in question. When I list all 11 in the ea app it says in library but 5 of them are grayed out and I cannot click them. And they have the word windows attached to each. How do I obtain copies of them for Mac without rebuying them through the ea app.
