Not Able to Open Origin on Macbook Air M2 Chip

Question

I recently purchased the newest Macbook Air with the M2 chip. I cannot open origin without downgrading to Monterey. I don't want to downgrade due to the chance of loosing info on my computer. Will Origin ever upgrade to ventura? Can I just not play sims anymore?

Origin works on Ventura. Did you allow all permissions when prompted during the installation process?

Manually uninstall Origin then download and install it making sure to allow all permissions when prompted by the OS https://bluebellflora.com/how-to-uninstall-origin-on-a-mac/

I tried this process several times but it keeps saying I "need Rosetta for it to run. Would you like to download it?" If Rosetta is a downgrade software I don't want it. Any thoughts?

@TheHeadArch  Yes, I have lots of thoughts 🙂 have a read of Rosetta on Apple’s site and it will all become clear https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT211861
