Edit: Never mind the stuff below; the original poster is playing Sims 4, not 3.
@keyerasb Normally, they're displayed here:
If you don't see them there, please let me know when you bought the game in Steam, and which packs you've bought.
I actually just bought them yesterday and I tried to link my accounts to play the sims 4 on my mac since you can’t play through steam. On origin, when I run my game, it’s saying my packs on there but it’s not actually showing me the packs in cas or in-game. It’s so weird. I bought seasons, discover university, cats and dogs, and you know.. some game packs. In steam, I don’t have that option. it’s just not there.
@keyerasb Since you're playing Sims 4, I've split your posts into their own thread in the Sims 4 Mac section.
The Steam version of Sims 4 is Windows-only; I don't believe there's any way to get an Origin install in macOS to recognize Steam-owned content. There are also no CD keys associated with Steam-bought packs, so nothing to register in Origin.
Your best bet here is to refund the content you've bought in Steam and buy it through Origin instead.
II have one of the game packs on steam on my Windows 10 system but when I try to load the game through Origin on my macbook it says to use steam to download the pack but of course it says its only for windows so I dont have the option. Heck I would be willing to buy the pack on the macbook also but I cant even do that it does not give me a buy button to do so.
