Can we transfer The Sims from a PC to a MacBook?

Hi, I think about buying a new computer and it would be a MacBook Pro but I always had a PC for years and I don’t know if I’ll be able to play  all my games (sims 3 and 4 with additional packages) and I’m wondering if I will still be able to play thoses games on a Mac? 
I don’t remember if my Sims are PC only or not… I bought everything on the Origin or the EA app a while ago on my PC. 

thanks!

    Hi @Tamy2004 

    Yes, you'll absolutely be able to play The Sims if you swap over to a Mac instead. On your new computer, just be sure you log into the same EA account that you've purchased all your content on. Once you login to Origin on your Mac, you'll see The sims available in your game library to download and play.

    Hi, 

    I am looking to do the opposite, my Mac died and now I have a PC. How do I get all of my Sims 4 DLC onto my PC now?

    @BBailee_444  Install the EA App on your PC, sign in using the same email address and password you used in Origin, and download your content.
