Re: [FAQ] Why don't my expansion packs transfer between platforms?

@keanavd05  Unfortunately, there's no way to play this copy of Sims 4 on your Mac.  The game doesn't transfer between console and PC/Mac, so you'll need to specifically buy a copy for Windows/Mac (one purchase covers both Windows and macOS) in order to play.

I know it's not what you want to hear, but Origin often has sales where the Sims 4 base game costs as low as $5 U.S.  Expansions are also often 50% off.
