Sims 4 is not available on Mac

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?

    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?

  • 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.
