I'm currently trying to connect my EA account to my Epic Games account through my MAC in preparation for the new Sims 4 free bundle through Epic. Linking these accounts on PC is done through downloading an EA game on Epic, installing, and launching it at which point you enter your EA account information. However I have a MAC. Epic Games lists Sims 4 as a PC only game despite EA supporting Sims 4 on MAC. To connect my accounts I have to install the game and launch it which I simply cannot do on a MAC due to Epic Game's platform restrictions. Are there any other methods or work arounds available to MAC users?

that's quite rubbish isn't it. quite alienating for no good reason

I really hope they'll allow Mac users to connect their EA account to Epic Games, but for now if you want the bundle I'd reccomend still getting the sims on the epic games store, then also getting the bundle so that way when we can link it, we can access the deal! Good luck 🙂

Hi all! I’m a Mac user and I’ve found a sort of work around to this issue, which will allow you to claim the free packs, Unfortunately, it requires temporary access to a pc. What you need to do is get access to a pc and follow the directions on how to link your ea/origin account and epic games. Once linked, log off/ sign off/ stop using the pc. If you go to your Mac and relaunch origin, the free packs should download now, as origin links to epic because it’s the same account. If it doesn’t work immediately, wait a little bit before t trying again. This worked for me and I hope this works for all of you! I am not associate with EA.

I was trying to link my Epic Games account to my EA Account on my Macbook as there was the free bundle of 3 packs for the Sims 4 on Epic Games. Epic Games will not let me open the Sims 4 as I am on a Mac and cannot find another way to link them. I hope you can help

Hey @gillevoo Epic is only supporting The Sims 4 on PC, as such you will not be able to access the game through Epic on Mac.

I agree with everyone, this truly sucks as much for console players as Mac players... I mean I can download the Sims DLCs from other platforms just by redeeming a code and it all works fine. I get it's not the same but it's not really fair since we all play the same game. Consoles can't do much and here on Mac there's a lot we can't have as well but it's mod related so I won't mention the name but we all know.
Anyway, I think I've read on Twitter you can still claim it through Epic and when the EA app will be released someday on Mac, it should all automatically download. I do hope so, we just have to wait and see,
I did claim it, it seems to be part of my library on Epic but there's no way to know whether it really worked or not.
This is the only way to get the bundle unless they release it on Origin maybe., But I doubt it.

@EA_Darko not really answering the question though... we're not asking to play the game through Epic Games. We're asking if we can link our accounts there at all

If you cannot access the game on Mac through Epic then you will not be able to link accounts @StegMeg97.
