Hey so i was wondering if i could buy and play sims 4 on my hp chromebook. and if i were to purchase it would i be able to return it? pls let me know as soon as possible!!!
Hello @charleemae1
chrome is running a custom operating system so no, it isnt. Some chromebooks however can run android apps so if yours does, you can try one of the sims games for android.

@charleemae1 Hey, Babyhuenchen's post is accurate, The Sims 4 won't run on a Chromebook, you'd need a Windows or Mac PC.
If you're interested in refunds, you can find information on the policy here: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/origin/origin/what-s-the-great-games-guarantee/
So you would be able to put through a refund, but in any case if you only have a Chromebook the game won't run.
Thanks.do you have any plans to make the sims 4 run on a chromebook? and if i buy the disk version of the game would it work on a chromebook?
It is safe to say that the answer is no, The installed base of Chrome books are simply too low to justify the expenses associated with developing this.
- what if I buy the disk version? could it work?
As I wrote you can NOT install Windows on a Chromebook.
- I don't know about chrome book. but I did resolve this issue for me. I recently bought a HP Stream, in which has Windows 10. the data that I was given on it was pretty low. So I bought an external hard drive to connect to it. an 1TB at the very minim. i will probably get a larger one later on. if not upgrade to a desk top.
Chromebooks use a different operating system, they do not have Windows at all. And you cannot install Windows on a Chromebook without messing up lots of stuff, possibly destroying your computer.
Thank you for trying to help, but if you do not know even really understand the question, you might just end up confusing yourself and other people trying to get help 🙂
Hi there!
I'm just wondering if Sims 4 will work on a chrome book. My niece says she wants to buy the game, but her laptop is not a windows' based one. It's a chrome book. Will it still work?
Sims 4 cannot be run on a Chromebook, as the game wasn't designed to be run on them.
Sims 4 is for PC/Mac and PS4/Xbox One.Think of a Chromebook as a tablet that has a keyboard attached, it can only play certain type of app games.
- Thank you!
- Thanks! I couldn't find the information, so I'm glad it's been lumped with the rest of the thread.
- No because, It could crash on the system.
