    @cjaerose  EA Play is Windows-only, so you can't use it to play games on your Mac even if those games have a Mac version.  If you want to play Sims 3, you'll need to buy a standalone copy.  You may also need to remove your EA Play subscription, or at least remove Sims 3 from your library (right-click the game tile to see the option) before buying it.

    Sims 3 is more expensive than a month of EA Play, for sure, but on the plus side, you only need to pay once.

    @puzzlezaddict thank you so much, i really didn't know about ea play being windows only, now i feel so lucky i went for the 3,99€ a month rather than a full year subscription, i'll cancel it and buy the game for sure, i just was SO confused dshjs thanks again!
