Can't play Sims 4 on Mac

When I click the game in my library, there is an orange button which reads 'Details' but no option to play. When I click 'Details', nothing happens. I am trying to download Sims 4 as I uninstalled it.

This happened after I reinstalled Origin because the Sims 4 update wouldn't download.
