You haven't bought the game, you've bought an Origin Access subscription. You need to cancel your subscription and BUY the Sims 4 base 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?

You have already installed the game on your Mac? Or you have installed Origin on your Mac?

You have a subscription to Origin Access which is not compatible on a Mac. Please see the opening post on page 1 of this thread I have moved your posts to for further help.
