downloaded origin and buy the game
Then come an email:
So if I understand it well, do I have to cancel my membership and pay the game right in the origin, right?
Thank you for your patience, I am new in this.
Thank you very much!! 🙂
Is anyone able to point me in the direction of how I can actually purchase the game for Mac?? I had the exact same issue and made the same mistake - thought I had brought the game outright but since reading this forum I realised I accidentally just purchased an Origin access subscription ... I've now cancelled this but still can't figure out how to purchase the game itself for Mac?? Whenever I click on "buy game for Mac" I just get stuck in this loop with no actual "buy" or "download" button ? Any help on how I can actually buy the game itself would be amazing as I'm totally stumped!! I'm running a 2018 Macbook Pro 15 and my specs are definitely compatible so I know that's not the issue .... I just want to buy the game but absolutely cannot figure out how to do this!!
This is the screen it keeps taking me to when I click "buy for Mac" : https://imgur.com/a/3GcoBFK (sorry i'm new - was trying to figure out the best way to get my screenshot on here as it's too big to attach ...)
exactly! someone please help
I downloaded sims 4 in origin by becoming a basic member. When I bought the game, it was available for both mac and windows and I downloaded it. Now my purchase does not open because it says that it is only available in windows. And when I press the button that says download game for mac, it does not give a download option and I cannot download it and it sends me back to the same page where it says the game is only available for windows only. Can you please look into my situation or help me download the game for mac?
I bought the sims 4, but I cant play it because of "available on origin assess for windows only".

Someone please help asap I just want to play sims!
Hiya,
I recently signed up to Origin to play Sims 4. I have downloaded Origin onto my Mac and when I attempt to play the game, it says that 'Available on Origin Access for Windows only. Buy game for Mac'.
When I click on the 'Buy game for Mac', it takes me back to the screen that says 'View in Library', when clicking on this, it takes me back to the above, so, this is going in loops.
Are you able to advise how I am able to play this game?
I already have the game downloaded and all but it won't launch.
Originally, it was played on a PC computer, but I had to move and now I have my Mac Laptop. I downloaded origin and all but it says that the game is purchased for a PC platform and I need to change it to a Mac platform?
Even though I go to the website there is no such button or anything that I can use to change the platform. What do I do?
any help would be great, especially whilst in isolation
I purchase Sims 4 from origin and bought the Basic subscription; downloaded the games plus add-one but my play button is still greyed out.
How come the sims 4 says that it can run on macs but after adding it to the library it won't let me open it?
Do you get an option to uninstall when you click on the game in your games library? If so click on it then choose Revert game edition. Origin Access is not available for Mac users. Does your Mac support the current version of the game or do you need to also download the Legacy Edition? https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/The-Sims-4-Legacy-Edition-thread/m-p/8420037#M22694
I installed origin and the game too, but this is what it says...
