    @iiiizzm  I split your comment off, since the other thread was considered solved.  You might try the same technique that was recommended, though—running the Origin reset tool for macs.

    Then go to your Origin library and click on the Sims 4 icon.  If the game still doesn't download, reset Origin again, and when you launch it, allow automatic updates of Origin and the game.  TS4 should start downloading automatically.

    If that doesn't help either, please check how much free storage you have.  Click on the Apple logo in the upper left corner of your screen, select About This Mac, and click the Storage tab.
