Re: [FAQ] The Sims 4 and Chromebooks

Sims 4 is only for pc right now. You cannot download Origin to it and it needs windows to run it.

I have the same problem, My chromebook is a newer version. I have HP though. It won't let me download any games accept the ones in the chrome web store. I want Sims 4 though!!

Sims 4 does not run on chromebooks. You need a Windows computer as Indy said above

we are having same problem. hopefully developers will make available.

You may be able to if you can get a PHYSICAL copy.

You can get a usb CD reader, Wine(a Windows emulator for chromebooks), and a 16gb SD

It will take a while for you to get Wine set up,i might add.

If not you can find a old office compter to run it on.(It has very low specs)

can you play sims on a cloudbook?

No, those are not made for gaming at all.

I have a samsung chrombook and i want sims 4 sooooo bad like really bad. can u help???☹️

Chromebooks don't support The Sims 4 at this moment. 
So the only way you can play is on MAC or Windows. 

I got a laptop that runs under chrome OS i have the physical copy of the disc and a code for it but im unable to play the game is their anyway i can download or install the game as when i put the disc in nothing happens is there anyway i can get it working got it for my little sister for christmas so if you could reply quickly would be great help 

The Sims 4 currently doesn't run on the Chrome OS. You can install it on Windows or Mac.

why not we can download cause im pissed

i have an hp chromebook, and i really want the sims!!! it wont let you  get any downloads except if its off the chrome webstore!!!! this stupid computer doesnt do anything useful, i might as well not even have it!  

Chromebooks have their own OS so yes, that's how it works. Just as Windows RT only has programs from the Windows Store and ipads only have apps from the Apple Store.

how do I GET THE SIMS  fooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuur  iv'e tried to get that game for 5 years ppppppplllllllllleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaassssssssseeeeeeeeeeee  tell me where the truck I can get the god darn game.

The game has only been out for almost two years so no idea why you searched that long.

You can buy the game through Origin.https://www.origin.com/en-us/store/

ik it sucks! i would pay $50 if i could download sims 4 on my chromebook.

thats wrong u can so get them facts right boo

I should of knew it wouldn't work I guess I will never play the sims 4.😞

Hi @Laureng04

most probably not cause they are usually underpowered for the game.

My first guess would be no, just because Chromebooks aren't made to game on. So they aren't as powerful to run a game like The Sims 4 on.

Also there aren't many people working on Chromebooks. But who knows, maybe they will add it, but I wouldn't count on it.

Who knows maybe the new The Sims app game will make it's way to the Chromebooks...
