Re: trying to play sims 4 on origin

That's your Internet broswer (Firefox) You have to install the Origin app on your Mac in order to install The Sims 4. You can't install the game from Firefox, you need the Origin app to do it.

Here you can download and install Origin for Mac: https://www.dm.origin.com/mac/download
