Forum Discussion
I bought a cd
Have you registered the CD already? Once it's registered, it is bound to the account you used. You must run Origin to play SimCity, you must run it from the account that you used to register it, and you must download the updates from the Internet in order to play the game. You will never use the CD again.
If the promo code was already registered to a different account, you won't be able to run it until you change the email address associated with the account to which it was registered.
My original answers to this thread & your other one are correct - you can run SimCity offline, after you install it through Origin. You probably have SimCity registered under a different email account. Either log in to the correct account, or follow the instructions in the link I gave you.
If you have any more problems, you might want to contact EA directly so they can walk you through the process. Happy gaming!

This is not the same problem, unless you can't get SimCity to show up in Origin on your Mac. If that's the case, the answer is the same; log in to the correct Origin account and you will see SimCity under "My Games". Make sure you haven't accidentally hidden SimCity in the list - Click the "Filter" button in the upper right-hand corner, and choose "Clear All Filters" to see all of your purchased games.
If you can see SimCity, but it doesn't run correctly on a Mac, there is an issue the High Sierra update. There is a long post here about users experiencing the same issues. This post from @EA_Mage says they are working on it, but it's been quite a while since that was posted. If you read through all the posts, there are a few other suggestions, all with limited success (lower settings to low/minimum resolution, turn off automatic graphics switching, run in virtual machine, increase memory, use external monitor, use gfxCardStatus utility to force use of non-Intel GPU) but basically EA is "working on it" and no estimate on when it will be fixed.
Please add your details and subscribe to the Simcity Crash OSX 10.13 thread Hopefully, there will be some word from them.
