    @BrynnasaurusRex  If you buy a PC code for a Sims 4 pack, you're getting a code for both the PC and Mac versions of the game.  They're treated as one entity, with one entry in your Origin library that gives you the ability to download into both Windows and macOS.  I have one copy of each of my packs, and they all install in both OSs just fine.

    So go ahead and buy the PC code for Discover University if that's the pack you want.  You'll be fine.  Just make sure you're buying from Amazon itself and not a third-party retailer, or you might not get what you think you're buying.
