Can't find product codes on Steam
I have a new macbook that generally runs TS3+Ambitions like a charm; when issues come up, they're invariably my fault. I know that this post is kind of long. I'm just trying to be thorough so that p...

One of the reasons I don't "swing through" those forums very often is that yes, they can be toxic and many of the players there do not have very long attention spans nor...how shall I put this, much in the way of good manners. Put that together with an ecosystem where they are surrounded by thousands of games to play vying for that limited attention all of the time, and one doesn't often end up with a very satisfying conversation experience. When I find myself actually arguing with players about how to use NRaas mods and where to turn for more advanced help, and they aren't listening to me anyway nor do they seem to want to, I do have to pause and ask, "What the heck am I even doing here?" ;)
But this is a borderline tech or really more of an account issue, forums like that serve their purposes at times even if not to be long-lasting hangouts for many of us.
You shouldn't have to install anything other than the Steam client, but you will have to log in on it using your account. The point of this exercise is to get the Steam client to recognize you as the account owner and therefore the game/packs you have purchased and then, having satisfied the requirement that you have a client program installed that has the ability to run what you have purchased, provide you with your Origin codes. It wouldn't make sense to insist upon the Steam version of the game being installed, no one is supposed install the game through Origin and Steam at the same time on the same computer. Or at least not under the same user account, that shouldn't even work and can mess up the installs and the entire user game folder on every attempted run.
Not entirely sure, but I think your brother would want to create a new Windows user login account so as not to mix up your Steam credentials with his on that end. Might be overkill, but seems like the more logical way to proceed.
Or...(looks to the left nervously, then to the right, thinks about it for a minute, and finally blurts out) Bootcamp!
